Didn't mean to exclude the list, and I definitely didn't mean "pox!"  That
reminded me of a line from a play where a Rabbi was upset with two families
in his congregation and said "A pox on both your houses!"  and of course, I
make that typo when commenting to a Jewish member of the list - mea culpa,
mea culpa, mea maxima culpa!

Kyle,

Specter said in his announcement that it was political pragmatics - the GOP
has "left" Specter, so he returned the favor. I was living in Colorado in
the late 80's - early 90's when Ben Campbell defected to the GOP, and there
wasn't nearly the outcry over his switch that there is over Specter's. Of
course, he didn't have the seniority and connections that Arlen Specter
does.

We're worried about H1N1 too, and are building plans for pwd's in that case
or in case of "traditional" disasters.

This weekend there's about a 40% chance of snow on Saturday...

Ken and I agree occassionally, but since it's not my ox being gored this
time, I was happy with Specter's decision. I viewed it as a long overdue
karmic payback for Ben Campbell
If it were a Dem going to the GOP, I'm sure I'd feel differrently!
;-{)}

Mag, I would like to see pox of the house, too!

Kendall

An unreasonable man (but my wife says that's redundant!)

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one
persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress
depends on the unreasonable man.

-George Bernard Shaw 1856-1950
