December 26 The Holiday HawkI I just wanted to disclose that I believe in the Holiday Hawk.
I remain unconvinced about the Seasonal Squirrel, however.

December 02 December 1, 2007Addendum
In an addendum to my previous post, by "liberal media", I mean that fraction of the media which tends to lean to the left, in contrast to the "right media" which tends to lean more to the right. In my observations, there are indeed newspapers, tv and radio stations, as well as news outlets which tend to one direction or another. I should here note that there are also those which happily tend to cover successfully the middle ground.
On China
Addendum 12/3/07: I just saw on the news tonight that some of the seafood from China is also tainted with banned chemicals. The dangerous seafood is frequently discovered during inspections in the US, and then sent back. Then the next batch from the same shipper comes in with a different banned chemical. A member of the FDA asserted that these fisheries were purposely adding these chemicals into the water the fish are raised in and were rapidly changing them after each harvest to ellude detection.
With the recent news stories on the tainted toys from China, and the stories a year ago about the tainted (and/or highly attenuated) prescription drugs which also come from China, I have to admit that I've ended up feeling almost as 'attacked' by China as we were by Osama Bin Ladin on 9/11. I'm still trying to learn more about how these tainted and poisenous items came into our country. In the case of the Rx drugs, I learned that there are a number of US citizens who made a lot of money and were instrumental in creating a market for these fake drugs. Whereas in the case of the toys, I'm not sure we can hold the toy companies to blame. But I have more to learn here.
On Continuing to Annoy My Friends in Redmond
Do you see the little weather applet on my page? It's down there on the left-side column. Check it out. No matter what day you check this page out, it's HIGHLY likely that Atlanta will have three golden orbs (sunny) and Redmond will have as many days of rain. LOL! I check it weekly. It's been amazingly consistent. I can ride my motorcycle -- even today -- in just a t-shirt. :P
Job Hunt
I'm still looking for work. If you know anyone seeking a skilled Program Manager, let me know!
