Chris Matthews gets it right

From MSNBC.com's Hardblogger:

For him to say that the penalty is 'excessive' may well be true, but it was the same crime that President Bill Clinton was impeached for by a Republican House of Representatives and in which 50 U.S. senators, Republicans, voted to remove him from office. So Republicans as a party thought perjury and obstruction of justice were sufficient to remove a twice-elected president from office. And now the president is saying that 30 months in prison is an excessive penalty for the same exact crime. It’s inconsistent.

My Year in Cities, 2006

Stealing an idea I saw on Jason Kottke's uber-popular blog, last year I posted a list of every city in which I spent at least one night during 2005. Here's the list for 2006:

Kettering, OH*
Dayton, OH*
Bellevue, WA
Dallas, TX
Olympia, WA
Laguna Beach, CA
Indianapolis, IN*
Washington, DC
St. Louis, MO
Camden, OH
Piqua, OH
Atlanta, GA

*Cities marked with an asterisk indicate that I visited that location more than once on non-consecutive days. I enjoy this exercise as it helps me reflect on all the different places I've been.

See Ya!

Thought of the Day

Some people are like Slinkies; they really don't have a purpose, but they bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.
