Odd Morning

Ran across a post at AmericaBlog that looked like a good nut for a post of my own, on Sen. Chris Dodd saying that Obama has to show some leadership, complete with video and link. System froze up for some reason, and when I got the post back, no link, no video. Weird.

Anyway, he's right -- Obama has to show some leadership or lose the whole ball of wax.

On a real life note, I packed the CD player with a bunch of stuff I haven't listened to recently -- all art music from the last thirty or forty years, and wound up bringing some of it to work with me. Feldman's The Viola in My Life (a no-brainer: I really, really like that piece) and Richard Einhorn's Voices of Light, which I've listened to before but never really listened to, you know? It's really engaging. Not particularly subtle, but there's probably stuff I'm missing on this player, which is not the best. Adequate for the office, but only that.

That one may be up for a Review in Brief sometimes soon. Another candidate is another BL anime, After School in the Teachers' Lounge. Very odd, highly abstract, very interesting. If I can find the complete thing, I'll do it.

I wonder how effective his rebuke will be? "And start acting like senators again." Harsh, but well deserved.

It will go in one ear and out the other on Capitol Hill, and the Villagers will clutch their pearls in horror.
