One of those mocking, derisive but ultimately silly attacks made by both Giuliani and Palin yesterday had to do with mocking Obama’s time as a community organizers. I’ve read many different posts today defending the work community organizers do but Obama, as you might expect, puts the right perspective on the issue. Steve Benen has more background.
(he slightly misspeaks at the start — it was 20 years ago, not 3).

Oh yeah, Song 2. Wooooooo-Hooooooooo!
I am the proud, happy new owner (though not yet possessor) of a 2004 Toyota Matrix XRS. I will write more in the morning, but I just had to get this out now. 
Now, I need to figure out where to park it until I move out of The City.

For those that keep asking me, it’s black. Obvious detail, forgot to mention it.

all the better for neon purple pink lights under teh carriage…

The scary thing is that Anne really is a big fan of the undercarriage lights and the wiper lights. Scary, but I actually know someone who seriously wants them… on her Volvo. Yes, you read that correctly.

i want to weep… today my wonderful passat wagon morphs into a honda odyssey. resistance is futile. thank god for the motorcycle.
congrats on the new ride. ivan is picking up one, too.
as a motoring-related aside: did you know that timex offers watches with a built-in mobil/exxon speed pass transponder? without a doubt, the coolest gadget to come down the pike (ahem) in a long time. only 40 clams. dig it.

Wait, Ivan is getting a Matrix too?

that’s what he was saying when he left for vacation. perhaps he’ll come to his senses and return with a multistrada… http://www.ducati.com/bikes/my2003/multistrada.jhtml

Ah the ducati, from what I hear, it is a nice line of bikes. I am personally dying to get a motorcycle lisence, however have not had the funds for that yet. I still think Sujal should have gotten the new Z or something along those lines, however I guess the matrix is a bit more pratical and env friendly…

Wow, that would be a weird coincidence… Two people in a small team such as our’s getting the same car at nearly the same time.

ms. maid. very cool that you should want/get a motorcycle license! here’s a great way to learn basic skills and get your license in one fell swoop (or one long weekend, depending on one’s outlook) — the Motorcycle Safety Foundation’s Basic Rider Course, offered by http://www.ironstoneventures.com.
i have no idea of your previous experience, etc., but if you’d like to chat about riding/bikes, i’d be happy to oblige (ad nauseum). ask sitemeister suj for my email.
sujal, as for ivan’s car choice: great minds, and all that…

Just because I drive a Volvo and want neon light bars doesn’t mean you should refer to me as “her.” Congrats on the car. Glad you didn’t have to go to Buffalo.

Oh dan… I might have a woman for you…
