Book Review - 'The Wordy Shipmates,' by Sarah Vowell - Review - NYTimes.com

This reviewer has a problem with Vowell. Reading the review I want to get the book just to decide if it is truly annoying (and yet the reviewer kept on wanting to read), or is it just that the style is conversational. Not all history needs to be overtly scholarly (read 'academic').

CapeCodTimes.com - Baldwin piano discovered in Harwich woods

Police said they have no idea how the piano came to rest in the middle of musical nowhere. A general notice has gone out to area police departments in an attempt to figure out whether the piano was stolen or lost.

CapeCodTimes.com - Baldwin piano discovered in Harwich woods

I'm just wondering how anyone could have "lost" their piano in the middle of the woods.  Personally I think it is a side effect of Ben moving the island on LOST.  (I was hoping for a picture of the piano in the woods, but there was none on the page.)

Bachmann: Anti-American remarks an 'urban legend'

Bachmann: Anti-American remarks an 'urban legend'

Oh, Please!

I saw the interview.  This is straight out lying.

Bachmann suggested, as she has before, that she was baited and trapped by the media, which created an "urban legend" about what she says she really said.

"What I said was, 'Do your job,'" Bachmann said. "That's what I said."

The only thing that happened was Bachmann was given enough rope to hang herself.  Don't blame the rope.

It's been a while...

Well, it has been an exciting week up here near Lake Woebegone. I'm still on a high from the election of Obama to be our next President. Even with our first snow of the season today, I'm still feeling happy!

Hopefully I'll get a chance to blog a bit more this weekend.
