A few things:

-Today I had the pleasure of sharing the freeway with the perfect example of why young males have higher insurance rates: a car full of young, ball cap wearin' men in a beatup Chevy Cavalier. First, they nearly ran into me trying to do an "emergency merge" into my lane. Signal ahead of time? Plan your merge? What?

Of course, the young male driver had a heck of a time following the car behind him.
Twit.

-The city where I live(Elk Grove, CA) is getting national mention thanks to the fellow who is challenging the Supreme Court today on the inclusion of "under God" in the Pledge o' Allegiance. Elk Grove is where he lives as well. Now we'll have a reputation as being yet another crazy city from California. ;-)

Richard Clarke has a good interview on Salon.com, for those who read that site.

Now, was Richard Clark the guy who Gore Vidal almost got into it with last night on "Real Time with Bill Mayer"?

All spelling mistakes are mine alone.

No. That was David Frum. Clarke is the 30 year civil servant involved in counter-terrorism and cybercrime. He's in the news for writing a book denouncing the Bush administration's handling of 9/11 and the "war on terror".

Ah, okay, that's where I've heard of him. Glad it wasn't David. He was a jerk.
