Busy, busy day!

The NY Times is repeating an argument I disagree with:

But the backlash against the president's critics ultimately benefited Democrats more than the embarrassment hurt them, Ms. Nichols added, just as some Republicans are hoping talk of impeaching Mr. Bush may help them this year.

Some people are arguing that this is a lesson that tells us not to rile people up about censuring or impeaching Bush. The difference is, Clinton was not hugely unpopular even at the height of the scandal, and the Republicans acted as if everyone was ready to hang him. Now, people are deeply angry with Bush, and the Democrats act as if he’s still hugely popular. I don’t think censure and impeachment talk are going to scare too many people, not nearly as many as it will energize.


Here’s something new: a recipe! This just plain intrigued me, so now I will share it…

Lime Pickle and Peanut Butter Sandwiches. Use a soft whole grain bread. Spread crunchy natural peanut butter thickly on the first slice. Spread a sweet or medium lime pickle thinly on top. Cover with the second slice of bread.
