You can tell when it's research report grading time... I start looking like the before picture from "What Not to Wear." I've worn nothing but sweatpants since Sunday.

There is this hilariously offensive lawmaker in Colorado who has led to great news stories. His name is Doug Bruce. First, he was in trouble because on the day of his swearing in, he kicked a reporter for taking a picture during the prayer. Then, he voted "no" on a resolution aimed at honoring military veterans. His reasoning was to take a stand on too many resolutions... but if you know anything about this particular area, Colorado Springs, etc., this is a SUPER military area... what with Ft. Carson, the Air Force Academy, NORAD, etc. Probably not the best one to take a stand with.

Then, this week, he referred to migrant workers at "illiterate peasants," which, probably true, but not PC, is probably not a good next step for old Bruce. http://www.gazette.com/articles/bruce_35551___article.html/colorado_rep.html

Here's another, unrelated interesting news story:http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LmZvcmJlcy5jb20vbGlmZXN0eWxlLzIwMDgvMDIvMTQvY2l0aWVzLXNpbmZ1bC1sYW5kZXItZm9yYmVzbGlmZS1jeF9sbV8wMjEzc2luZnVsX2xhbmQuaHRtbA==
