Cannot Brain. I Have the Numb

• No, this is not supposed to be a weekly.  
• Now that it is slightly more seemly (Iowa caucuses now being a month away rather than six months out) to yammer about the primary season, have Jill Stein's campaign page.  The Green Party has also posted an article by Maggie Lee from Creative Loafing, which has interesting (at least for now) comments.  If I have to read about the Republican candidates (and my brain has been holding its nose almost to the point of asphyxia) and the Democratic candidates (who are annoying me on a different axis), then I'd like to read someone who is at least not shouting at me.  (You don't want to see my email inbox.  Cue Joel Grey and Liza Minelli singing "Money" on repeat at maximum volume.)
• So this is midpoint of three consecutive days of tragedies:  Yesterday was the anniversary of the murders at École Polytechnique, today we remember Pearl Harbor, and tomorrow we commemorate the death of John Lennon.  Yeah, OK, not a nice guy, but he didn't deserve that.
• We are expecting rain in a couple of days, in time for an appointment.  Of course.  Northwestern England apparently got a cloudbuster sufficient to restore a waterfall.  (Via legionseagle on Dreamwidth.)
• Well!  Back to work!
