For some of us, MLK day comes late. But an icy cold sunny day is a good way to spend it.

And, if you had your head buried in the sand this morning, you may have missed the news that Obama is in. Count me on his team.

In somewhat less-than-inspiring-news, it appears Emily's List will support Sen. Clinton Ugh.

The Democratic wave keeps coming:

WASHINGTON — Sen. Wayne Allard said today he will honor his term-limits pledge and leave at the end of 2008, creating a replacement fight that should turn Colorado into one of the country’s biggest electoral battlegrounds.

We'll make Colorado solid blue yet, courtesy Udall and his impressive lineage.

today's question: does anyone know of any good unzoned streets in DC to park along? MtP has evergreen terrace...but besides that, I don't know of any others. do you guys have any knowledge of places for non-residents to leave their cars at?

The fact that it's supposed to reach 70 degrees today is unbelievable. Sure, it's supposed to drop to frigid temperatures in a few days, but the important point is that it's the result of climate change, not global warming.

I took my old one-handed watch into the watch repair shop last week to get the battery replaced. To my chagrin, they informed me that the battery was fine but that it needed "to be cleaned" which would cost $80. With no other choice, I left the watch with them.

This weekend I returned for the watch and discovered, mirabile dictu, that the watch now had three hands. I expressed surprise to which the watch repair man said, cryptically, "this is the new version...that's what they sent us". I explained that there was no "new version" of my watch, and that it only had one hand. He countered that perhaps they could just remove the second and minute hand. My retort was simple: find and put the old hand back on. After ten fruitless minutes of searching, he finally found the old hand and said that they needed another couple of days to fix things.

So at this point I've already been to the watch repair place 2 times, with a third coming, and an $80 bill, only to see them mess up the entire point of my old watch.

It's enough to make me hot. But that's what the weather is for, right?

So during lunch I fixed one of the major problems plaguing the site: where a very short article would artificially make the site boxes go haywire.

Yes, it was a simple css hack.

Next up? Getting IE7 to behave. And this I feel will be a far more difficult struggle.
