Red Alert! — Incompetence!
OK, I hope someone will tell me if I’m really way off base, but does anyone else see the kerfufle that’s been going on today at US and British airports as evidence of incompetence by the US and British governments?

A Slow Tuesday
Nothing really caught my attention today that I feel I just have to blog about. Same old mideast violence; will Lieberman be nominated by the Dems; same old stuff at work; nothing really catching my attention. I guess I can comment on a new experience this morning. I got to be ‘the expert’. For the…

Argghhhhh!! Bloody, stinking, son of a … !!
OK – I want you all to remember this. Never, ever throw away or delete your ‘old’ data-sets. You will need them again for something. And always try to keep your data files scrupulously organized. Search engines only get you so far. Yes, you’ve guessed it. The ‘old’ data I thought I was done with…

This time he is trying to make sure that states can prosecute a doctor for helping someone commit suicide when that person is terminally ill! After all, if a…

Senate Defeats Bastardized Bill
Kudos to Democrats in the Senate. They defeated the House-passed bill linking a rise in the minimum wage to a cut in the estate tax. NY Times article here. I always find it ironic that our ruling party touts the importance of the ‘up or down’ vote when it come to nominees, but as soon…

Whew!
Yesterday I submitted two grant applications. Thank god that’s done. Unfortunately, that still leaves 2 more to go in the next 6 weeks and all the rest that have to go in for the rest of my life. Actually, I don’t mind writing grant applications all that much. I like thinking about study design, and…
