It is Important To Remember...
....that no matter how intimidating someone is. They probably look quite silly eating ramen in their pajamas....

On Rage
Two very good posts, one from Dean Barnett and one from Ed Morrissey on the coarsening of our discourse.
UPDATE: On a more positive note Joe Gandleman notes some touching humanity from Tony Snow. Let me say that I agree with Snow regards the awful Edwards situation.
And when you’re seeing Elizabeth Edwards saying, I’m going to embrace life and I’m going to move forward, that is a wonderful thing, because once you decide that you’re going to embrace life, you become a much better patient. And once you decide that you proceed with a sense of hope and optimism, people are going to rally to your side, and they do- What she is going to do is going to provide a lot of encouragement and example that I think is going to help a lot of people, and that is a truly wonderful thing, and I congratulate her for it.”

Dark-Hulled Painted Merchant Ships with No Air Conditioning......
....ARE HOT!!
Not that I'm complaining.
I'm doing foreign vessel boardings for the Coast Guard reserve. Nothing dramatic, just some saftey inspections. I'm not even armed, just some manuals and tools and a ticketbook. I have seen people working on ships that remind me of how good I've got it at UPS....especially when one remembers that the bad ships don't often come to US waters, lest they be fined or laid up.
..and anyway, I deal with heat a lot better than cold.
