My pal Gordon, again

This is my pal Gordon again, playing a pair of walkie-talkies like a kind of faux-theremin. He's an enthusiastic, and oddly-talented, thereminist.

On the trail

Some folks have commented that Obama looked a bit distracted last night, during the final debate. My guess is that he's a little worried because he still hasn't found the last of Dick Cheney's horcruxes.

Just needed to refresh my eyes...

I thought I'd take a moment here to refresh my eyes and my spirits, with a break from daily crapfest.

We hold these truths to be self-evident,

• that all men are created equal,
• that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,
• that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
• That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,
• That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

There, wasn't that better?
