Just a quick update...

I just received word that I have a new job here at the Water Utility...Section Head for Utility Development and Development Coordination. It involves a nice raise and should put my design background to good use.

I've been wondering why General McCrystal, who will live in some infamy as the man that lead the Pat Tillman cover up, is still in charge of anything? Does running an unsuccessful cover up to make the Commander-in-Thief look good qualify a person to run a war?

The right wing noise and whining has reached a crescendo with the release of the "climategate" emails. LOL, certainly much ado about very little. I also get a small bit of gratification realizing that any obfuscation that may have gone on was in direct response to the incessant ranting and gnashing of teeth from the ill-informed and terrified "denial" side of the aisle.
