Work, work, work . . .

Every now and then we hit a trouble patch and I have to put in full days (and then some) at the day job. It's been like that recently. Blogging has been light -- obviously -- despite there being a lot to blog about recently.

Saddam. Caught. Skeptic in me says that Saddam wasn't found quickly after the war ended but too late for real effect. So, when he was found a few months or so ago, the Bush machine (read: Karl Rove) convinced everyone to pin him down and hold on for a while so the catch could be used. Wait for Osama to be discovered in the crosshairs around mid to late summer.
The realist in me says, "No way." Despite him being in a location that would have been searched over and over, he wasn't found until this weekend. Any sane person would not have waited to act and capture the guy. So, I imagine the Administration wasn't up to any monkey business. Still, the dark side is quite seductive.

New prime minister in Canada. The longest awaited coronation in history is over and nary a shot was fired (that anyone will admit to). The most interesting thing about this acsention is what it does for the blogosphere. To wit: Google the following words (without quotation marks): "What is the worst blog in the world?" Unless something has changed, the first listing is the new prime minister's blog. Ouch! Thanks to David for the heads up.

Anyway, more to come soon.
