This might be my favorite political celebrity internet election video so far. I mean, it’s the only one with The Fonz! Could have used a little Fife, though.

	Bush Speech Word Frequency
	My buddy Hubbers directed me to this link at the New York Times. The State of the Union in Words: A Look at the 34,000 State of the Union Words Delivered of George W. Bush It’s only mildly interesting to me politically. I’m not surprised by any of the results I’ve found in a few [...]
	First Donkey Debate
	I watched the first debate in South Carolina over the internet this morning. I thought I’d post a few thoughts here. The problem with our democratic system, and why no one trusts politicians and no one likes the either of the two choices they are ultimately faced with on election day is that, in trying [...]

George Catlin, Prairie Meadows Burning, 1832

From the Smithsonian American Art Museum:

George Catlin painted ominous, swirling clouds of black smoke that loom out of the distance and drive the Indians before them. The artist was an eyewitness to such terrifying events, and described the fire’s “thunder rumbling as it goes.” But he also wrote that prairie fires made for “some of the most beautiful scenes that are to be witnessed in this country, and also some of the most sublime.”

This morning I did the usual, Nora, get up, go to the bathroom and put on your slippers and call me when you’re ready to come downstairs.” It’s a way to practice some autonomy and let Daddy check his email and Facebook notifications. A few minutes went by and I heard nothing. Usually this means she’s just slumped over onto her pillow again. I went up to investigate and found her fully dressed, in weather inappropriate shorts and a summer shirt over her winter undershirt, just putting on the final touches of her ensemble with a sparkly jacket. A+ for initiative!!
