Oh, yeah.

Iraq On The Record

Bush, Vice President Richard Cheney, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of State Colin Powell, and National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice.
This database identifies 237 specific misleading statements about the threat posed by Iraq made by these five officials in 125 public appearances in the time leading up to and after the commencement of hostilities in Iraq. The search options on the left can be used to find statements by any combination of speaker, subject, keyword, or date.

Bright Yellow Socks

See, this is what I'm like. I start a project, work industriously, and then for no reason I can ascertain, stop and go start something else.

So, I'm halfway through a golden-yellow sock that might actually be too big for me. I'm still learning this, if it's too wide, I'll give it to my mom (the pair, when complete). Or try felting. Or *something*.

I'm using gold yarn from an old Herrschner's afghan kit that a friend of mine got fed up with, 2-ply, size 2 needles. Basic top-down pattern, I just now am starting the gusset.
