news that I haven't felt like following.

I'm shocked that Kenneth Lay died. And that there's some wacky law on the books in Texas that could allow his widow to keep all that money. I think that's awful, but it isn't what I want to post about today.

"W's" press confrence from Chicago....North Korea launching nuclear test missiles...Kuwaiti women being allowed the vote for the FIRST TIME EVER....a great commentary that I read in the Wall Street Journal about women's rights in other islamic countries...

I have been very busy with work lately...if you know me IRL then you've heard all about that verboten topic...and I've not been able to post as frequently as I'd like. And I've been too tired to come up with intelligent commentary about the news. Since that's the case, why don't you run along to Dooce's post on Alpha Mom about Brittney Spears? Cause it is really well written even if you don't like Brit-Brit.

Cheers on a Saturday!
