Two commentaries in the New York Times today:

- Tom DeLay's Down-Home Muscle

- Timely Help for AmeriCorps

Both opinions I agree with.

Yesterday, a new map (AGAIN) was announced in the Senate (see this). When will this end? Are only the Democrats upset by this huge waste of our money?

This local commentary brings up the point that a new map will lose the seniority our state currently has.

As for me, my jaw started hurting this morning and I don't know why. I think I will go crazy before September. Or something.

CD of the day: Putumayo's Cuba.
