The view from Starbucks

So here I set at the Starbucks on Pennsylvania and 3rd, SE, my home away from home. In a few minutes I head to Mary Padgett's condo, and she and I will drive down to see Frank and Doug. Probably go to Pope's Creek (eat your heart out, seafoodlovers). I've been working up a storm today but it's so beautiful that it doesn't matter (although it would be nice if the Manuscript Collection of the Library of Congress actually had some windows). Is anyone reading my blogs? Hey, looks like Prodi won the Italian election. They must be popping champagne at The Economist (I don't know if they like Prodi but they sure hate Berlusconi). Bye to all my blog fans.

The other blogger I've read is Adrianna Huffington, and so I'm accustomed to females with bloggish opinions. I hasten to add this comment before you restrict your blog to Republican commentators. I know what you mean about computors and kiddies; I consult my seven-year-old neice Anna on the tougher questions. About walking dogs, Gail and I are tiring of Tassee's sniffing, and plan to go over to the dog shelter uup the road and walk the inmates there. You ask about White House fellows sitting around looking at dirty pictures on the internet and escaping press coverage. The press is waiting for Karl Rove to slip up, maybe. I look forward to reading your blog entries, so keep it up. The Italian election, by the way, was not only a rerun of the Bush-Kerry cliffhanger, but was a carbon copy as well of West Wing's presidential election last Sunday, which came down to 30,000 votes in Nevada. If you run into Tom Delay on the street walking a dog, give it a kick (not the dog). Ken

Berlusconi lost? That's so disappointing! Every news story involving him was invariably funny. Like his whole spiel about Islam not being a real religion and stuff. I counted on Italy for the politically incorrent, hilarious, and totally irrelevant politicians. Stupid Economist trying to get things all serious.

I very embarrassed that Ken sent his comment twice. Well, we are all learning. I know that Jenifer and Roberta, her landlady, will be very happy with Prodi. Bored, but happy. I wish I were back on Capitol Hill.
