Year: 2004

A major no confidence vote on Annan coming?

UPDATE: Nice try wimps.

Here in San Antonio, the weather is overcast but the temperatures are in the 70’s. Being from Washington State, this is unknowable in the month of November, so I’m enjoying the “Summertime” warmth.

A few observations – WIFI is hard to come by, so it seems. I couldn’t get a decent signal in the San Antonio airport, and the WIFI at Houston International is highway robbery. Highspeed access in the hotel room makes up for it though.

If anyone knows of a cool (meaning, free) hotspot in downtown San Antonio, please, let me know.

There will likely be no posts today. Well, other than this one of course. Yes, I am really leaving for San Antonio today, as opposed to the threat of leaving a few days ago. I’m going to be in that purgatory we call “traveling” – freeways, long term parking, check-in lines, boarding gates, cramped seats, long flights, bad weather, delays, connections, late arrivals, taxi cabs, hotel check-ins, then finally, to bed. But, only for a few hours, because everything starts at 5:00 AM! And I’ll show no sign of jet-lag or travel irritability now will I!

Heh. I hate the “travel” day.

Advice from Ms. Noonan. I doubt the blogosphere can adhere to her suggestion though.

Overheard in the Senate today…

“Excuse me, members of the media, uh, helloooooo, uh, Senator Daschle is ready for his meet and greet. Excuse me, folks, right over here, he’s, ready, well…he’ll be waiting.”

“Sir, they might be over in a minute, or so.”

Nah Nah Nah Nah
Hey Hey Hey

Good-bye

The more news that comes out about the Oil for Food scandal, the worse it gets.

Heh.

UPDATE: Drudge has text and a picture.

Rice is secretary of state.

OK, not exactly death, but a bad flu nonetheless. I was supposed to leave for San Antonio this morning, but no…I was stricken with a plague. A gift from one of my children. This one had the works – bad stomach, splitting headache, aching bones, etc. Not to mention the fact that I wanted to sleep all day (and did). It’s amazing how sickness can stop the clock of life. Now, I’m playing catchup, trying to rebook flights to Texas, trying to reschedule appointments, etc. Yuck.

Anyway, the “light posting” notice is still up, as things will continue to be a bit crazy over the next couple of days.
