Thank You to The Woman I Love for having Brian Bennett (Time Magazine) talking about the FBI "request" for Jack Anderson's files in what appears to be some kind of archeological dig. I challenge anyone under fifty to pick Jack out of this lineup:

Oh Frabjous Day
Well the sun seems to be making an appearance. Hope it sticks around for a while -- we had a few days of it last week and I still felt soggy.

Rejoice all ye frightened freaks...
Well I’m sure we are all breathing more easily now that Moussaui is on the brink of receiving the death penalty. Never mind that the guy is nutty as batshit, or that his alleged conspirator, Richard Reid, is the Poster Boy of Inept Shoe Bombers. Never mind that the one goal these two could hope to acheive is Place and Show in an ugly contest. (sorry guys, but the win goes to Chertoff, hands down). Never mind that the Roving Terrorist subgroup of Al Queda voted him off the island the first day of rush week. The world will be a darn safer place without him! Right. Also reassuring is the apparent absence of Zarquawi who is no doubt stuck in a spider hole until our brass find it useful to pull him out and blame him for – oh, whatever. As for UBL, if your President hardly thinks of him anymore, why bother your pretty little head?
The Anthrax Killer? Gone! The traitor Brokaw? Silenced! CIA leaker Mary McCarthy?– Fired! Katrina? – dust in the wind!
We have much to be thankful for. Let us pray.

Notes from the Ornithologically Challenged
BIRDS 2006
5/17: Need one more pair of Goldfinches to meet last year's three.
5/9: Still sunny. Pair of American Goldfinches outside kitchen window; chestnut back chickadees. OK so I'm the black sheep of the family birder-wise. But I enjoy these little things flitting outside my window. Grabbed some sun time today and finished a New Yorker article on butchering pigs, also finished Joan Didion's Salvadore. I forget what a fine writer she is -- also how tiny her body is. Think I will wait awhile to start her newest. Started David Harris' "The Crisis" -- very readable book on Iran.
5/3: lots of sun the last few days, but not much action. Who can I hire to shoot my neighbors' goddam feral cats?
3/30 Bewicks Wrens building nest outside in birdhouse
31: Rufous sided Towhees, a whole bunch, in Grill backyard
Oregon Junco my back yard
No sign of the Wrens
Red Wing blackbird House Finch -- actually I think it is a Purple Finch
Pine Siskin
4/1 Wrens are here
4/2 – 4/12
All birds last seen entering Ark in pairs.
4/13 – Sun peeked out this am, and so did the wrens.
4/20: No sign of them since. Brown towhees in the backyard today and Huttons Vireo outside the livingroom window. Might have been a Kinglet…
4/22 Wrens out today, being very chatty. One making a very weird noise – probably trying to scare me away
