Gentlefolk of Newport,

Or should I say "hats and cats,"
Please lend an ear
'Cause I want you to hear
Some really shimmering sharps and flats.

"I'm not one to attribute every activity of man to the changes in the climate. There is something to be said also for man's activities, but also for the cyclical temperature changes on our planet."

She did it again! Thank you Governor Palin, but I believe we covered this in your last interview. Really, the best commentary on this would have to be Oliver Burkeman, over at the Guardian, who says, ""I'm not one to attribute every activity of man to changes in the climate," Palin says. And who could argue with that? I made spaghetti bolognese for dinner last night, and I can confirm that it wasn't because of changes in the climate."

Well said, Mr. Burkeman. My lunchtime meal of tinned ravioli really had more to do with the economy than climate change, but that's a whole different discussion.

Also, Sarah dear, you really ought to work on your pronunciation of words like, oh say, nuclear. Not that, apparently, your people haven't been working on it, but it needs a little more fine polishing.

Yes, Teddy watched the Biden/Palin debate this evening. The Gender and Multi-Cultural Department was showing it, and it was pretty fun. The food totally beat out the entertainment (full Costco spread!), but it was a good time. I think I'll drag Spencer to the next one (Presidential, on Tuesday).

But for now, physics lab report. Fortunately, tomorrow's proofs test is canceled, but I've still got a fair amount of work to do. Also, my back tire is completely flat. Sigh. Have to get that fixed this weekend. Ah well, not that big a deal.

Now, you all stay away from changes in climate, y'hear? Goodness only knows what it might do to your activities...
