Another day at home. I should have done some phone calls re: Tracy, at least, but I didn't.

It's over a year since I last referred a book to Amazon? Is that true? I thought sure I had recommended Voting to Kill, which while wrong on how people would vote is still right about everything else. The Republicans threw that one away.

Surely, while I was raving over America Alone, I recommended it?

I've been having a hard time reading any books since I started the distributed proofing. Bernadette loaned me a book at Easter with a "Read this!" and I thought Oh, no, I already have some of her books for the last two-three years, and now she's adding one, I'd better actually read it. I took it with me to Novato and for the first two days I was stuck in the first 10 pages, yawn, I don't like the people and I can't figure out what's going on... but then it took off. The Curse of Chalion is a fantasy that is just wonderful, and I would recommend it to anybody who enjoys the genre.

I put aside another I'm really liking for this, The Looming Tower. I don't suppose Weak Reid would read it, but he probably should.

There, now, Amazon, happy now? (Please click through, you don't have to buy anything, but at least it will show I'm still alive.)

Don't mix your vegetables! Who knew there was veggie porn?

What's really going on.

Reid Supports the Troops Who Lost the War (Scrappleface):

(2007-04-20) — Attempting to clarify yesterday’s statement that the war in Iraq is “lost“, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said today that he “supports the troops who lost the war.”

In an audiotape recorded from an undisclosed location and released through Al-Jazeera TV, Sen. Reid said, “The troops who lost the war should hold their heads high, because not everyone can be a winner, and they gave it a good try.”

CIA analysis of the tape indicates the voice is “almost certainly” Sen. Reid’s and that references to recent events show that the Democrat leader may still be at large, in good health and “substantially in charge” of his network of Democrat senators.

On the tape, Sen. Reid also said, “It’s not the fault of our troops that they represent an evil regime, or that they wear the uniform of the nation viewed by many as ‘the Great Satan.’”

Losing the war in Congress, Walid Phares.

Instapundit on Va Tech: " After every big event, members of the press congratulate each other on their coverage. But in fact, it's just Anna Nicole Smith with a bigger body count."

Heh. I sure wouldn't shake Crow's hand. Ick.
