Pen-Elayne has the boss from hell, and she's eagerly awaiting the weekend. (Been there.)

Rivka at Respectful of Otters has some thoughts about cognitive dissonance -- which may be exactly what she herself experiences when the human ugliness exposed by Katrina collides with "a small person who is learning to eat cereal, likes to have poetry read to her, and keeps rolling over onto her tummy and getting stuck there."

Rick's Cafe Americain has stunning news: Bush has picked former FEMA director Michael Brown to replace Sandra Day O'Connor on the Supreme Court, and has lined up Barney the Scottish terrier as Brown's alternate.
