Nice to hear a thunderstorm rumblimg off the east. Probably one of the last of the season. This hasn't been a big t-storm year in this neighborhood; someone a few miles north or south may have had a different experience. I know from watching a lot of weather radar that the top & bottom of Jersey had plenty.
For those of us who are paranoid about elections being "fixed" - not with votes from the permanent residents of New Jersey's cemetaries but inside the new high tech machines themselves - comes a bill pushed by Rep. Rush Holt, D-NJ, with strong support from Reps. Tom Davis, R-Va., and Tom Cole, R-Okla, & 219 co-sponsors. E.J. Dionne gives cause for hope in The Paranoids Are Right. Pass this bill & we'll see who carries Ohio in '08.
My planned late afternoon trip to library washed out. Halfway up the block it became obvious my umbrella wasn't helping much. I was delayed by coverage of the plane crash in NYC. Sad news that it killed Yankee pitcher Cory Lidle was also confirmation that it was not a terrorist attack. I realized all the hysteria about dozens of Al Qaeda "sleeper cells" in the USA was a lot of hogwash when they didn't begin flying small planes into national landmarks & apartment buildings, which, as was demonstrated today, would be much simpler than hijacking commercial jets.
