Hot and humid in New England
It was quite chilly last night in the Bay Area, mid 40′s. But I see on the TeeVee that the baseball playoffs are hot and sticky, and my daughter tells me the leaves haven’t changed in Rhode Island.
I hope that when the residents of the coastal states have to move farther and farther inland to escape the rising oceans, they will be mad as hell. I imagine the rest of the world is gonna be pretty mad, also.

If you need a refresher, the WaPo’s usually-mild-mannered Eugene Robinson slammed the president pretty hard today, saying Bush’s veto “should shock the consciences of every American.” He added that the White House’s rationale on the policy is “a pack of flat-out lies.”
But they’re lies that Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney, Fred Thompson, and John McCain happen to believe.
The four leading Republican presidential candidates have aligned themselves with President Bush’s veto on Wednesday of an expanded health insurance program for children, once again testing the political risk of appearing in lock step with a president who has low approval ratings and some critics of the veto within their party.
