Idle thoughts of a relatively libertarian Republican in Cambridge, MA, and whomever he invites. Mostly political.

I just know you've all read Lileks this morning, or you wouldn't be wasting your time here. But. I just had to excerpt this passage:
So we went down to the children's book section of Barnes and Noble. I was looking for gift ideas; [my two-year old daughter Gnat] seemed to like the Curious George backpack - it looks as if the little fellow is clinging to your back. Very cute. It would be different if he had red eyes and sharp teeth, of course; if the bag looked like that, I'd train Gnat to run around screaming whenever she put it on, shouting GED OFF! GED OFF MONKEY! Just for fun.
