Fear Different

I've not been too impressed with Sen. Obama. But, this quote I saw on the new last nite does make me think he's worth a look: "I'm not a afraid of negotiation with anybody, I fear no man or woman."

Nice to hear non war options discussed!

Yesterday's news

In Michigan: "With the ink still damp on their 2008 Michigan budget agreement....lawmakers turned to the issue of repealing one of its building blocks: the extension of sales tax to a wide variety of business and consumer services."

On the campaign trail: "Still [Clinton] continued her strategy of avoiding direct answers to questions."

Possibly one leads to the other?

2 Bits

2 infobits I picked up on NPR today.

1. At Guantanamo Bay supposedly interrogation is all hunky dory now, no stress position, water boarding etc.

When prisoners cooperate 'incentive' items are used. I guess they'd be the carrot to the stick. One such item is cigarettes. So addictive deadly smokes are used. This is considered a step forward?

2. Our president speaks "First, he does not know whether certain methods of questioning are in fact used, because the program is classified -- and therefore he is in no position to provide an informed opinion." That's great keep the guy in the dark from the start!

WX Text

A high pressure will enter the area with a clearing affect. This will make today's 40 degree temperatures an aberation as things will warm up for the rest of the week.
