As you've noticed no doubt, this blog is being updated very irregularly as of late, what with our move to LA and all.  Also, since we'll be traveling March 16 - April 28 the sporadic posts will continue to be sporadic.

Don't let any of this b.s. stop you however from enjoying this New Scientist article about the Obama administration pumping huge amounts of money into science projects.

Update:  Tonya Harding slams Obama.

Richard Manuel 02/20/2009
 

Eric Clapton: "For me he was the true light of The Band. There was something of the holy madman about Richard. He was raw. When he sang in that high falsetto the hair on my neck would stand on end. Not many people can do that."

Ali al-Jarrah 02/18/2009
 

A true and insane story of modern day espionage:

Mr. Jarrah would often borrow money to buy cigarettes, apparently posing as a man of limited means. Investigators say he received more than $300,000 for his work from Israel.

Only recently did he begin to spend in ways that raised questions. About six years ago, neighbors said, he built a three-story villa with a terra-cotta roof that is by far the grandest house in this modest village of low concrete dwellings. Outside is a small roofed archway and a heavy iron gate, and on a recent day a German shepherd stood guard.

Dr. Mosleh asked him where he got the money, and Mr. Jarrah said he got help from a daughter living in Brazil. It is a natural excuse in Lebanon, where a large portion of the population receives remittances from relatives abroad.
