December 28, 2007
Link: Arizona Wildcats Basketball – Mahalo. I don’t even have a category on my blog for sports. Frankly, unless there is the strong possibility of injury to the participants, I really couldn’t care less about sports.

December 20, 2007
Link: Final Vote Results for Roll Call 1186. I can’t begin to express my disappointment with the comportment of these two Democrats.
