BELTWAY TRAFFIC JAM

December 9, 2003

Comments

I had a luncheon meeting at the National Press Club, so had to wade into DC again. It’s actually a reasonably pleasant trip if one can make it, as I did, in off peak hours–leaving at noon and returning by 3:30.

On with the daily linkfest:

Steven Taylor has banned John Kerry from his comments section.
Matthew Yglesias asks why the Loretta Sanchez endorsement of Dean is getting less attention than Gore’s.
Kate is getting more like Rush Limbaugh every day.
Rob Tagorda has an interesting comparison of three treatments of a news story.
OTB is on the blogroll at Edwards Grassroots 2004.

Believe me when I tell you, James, that I appreciate not just the link but also your commute. I used to live in east Los Angeles County and had to travel forty-five miles one way to my office on the westside. It took at least an hour-and-a-half. I had to leave home at 6:00am, however, to make the trip manageable.

On my wife’s birthday two years ago, I left work at 3:45pm so that I can buy her a cake before dinner. There were several accidents, though. It took me three hours to get home. I literally sat through an entire Dodger game, and as luck would have it, my damn team lost.

Here’s an easy answer for Matt: Who’s Loretta Sanchez?

That’s the general response to that name.

Al Gore has a certain amount of recognition, what with being a former VP and the guy who had the election “stolen” from him in 2000.
