Talked with Karen this morning which managed to include the malaprop ‘self-defecating’ and the plural of the word ‘scotum’ (which would be ‘scrota’). She said she’s feeling the gas prices and trying to car pool in to work in San Diego. She noticed the same thing I am.

In the Senate: The final vote was 85 to 12, with 49 Republicans, 35 Democrats and one independent voting in support of the measure. Thanks guys!
