New distractions....

I rolled over to Orson Scott Card's web site via sartorias and found all sorts of fun things on his site. Here's a kitchen store he loves:

And a site a friend of his set up glorifying "Lost Books":

And, among his reviews of books is an excellent quote from The Prince that we should all keep in mind:

"The first method of estimating the intelligence of a ruler is to look
at the men he has around him" (Niccolo Machiavelli, The Prince).

Why is it...

Why is it when President Bush says: "We do not torture" I see in my minds' eye former President Clinton saying: "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" ?

The difference being, of course, that I could care less whom Clinton was sleeping with as long as he couldn't be blackmailed about it.
