08:33 pm - It's Friday of the first week of the future Not many people are on the Very Special List of people whose emails will be allowed to arrive on Obama's BlackBerry. Slate: Obama revives the Freedom of Information Act. The Senate has passed the Lilly Ledbetter wage-discrimination bill. More here. The first stem cell study for spinal injury has been approved. Finally. Democrats start to inquire into war crimes and torture investigations. And senators are calling for probes into financial fraud. Congresswoman Kirsten Gillibrand will replace Hillary Clinton as senator from New York. Homeland Security will retain many Bush officials for the sake of institutional memory. Unfortunately, Obama's choice for the CIA doesn't call waterboarding torture. NYTimes: Growing food on the White House lawn. Also, Cheney wanted Libby pardoned, but Bush didn't obey him. McCain the "maverick" ::cough:: is back. Evangelical anti-feminism. You may not want to eat while reading this. And is there a political glass ceiling? Three years undercover with identity thieves. The Darby Free Library, which has operated continuously since 1743, is in danger of closing. You can help. Couch potatoes and journalism culture. Japan is working to find immigrants jobs -- because it's losing a lot of workers to emigration and age. Are we living in a hologram? Comic strips on The First Post.

08:53 pm - cats continued As it turned out, my boss had just gotten back from the vet as well, and his sweet girl Fluffy has very bad liver problems. She showed up during the meeting, and acknowledged me but wanted to make sure he knew she would like a little more to eat, please. Which was fine with me. Since Simba's vet visit this morning, he's eaten close to *three* cans of cat food -- including flavors he ignored before -- and a good handful of treats -- and several pieces of popcorn he begged away from me. And now he's lying on his back with all four feet in the air looking cute. I freely admit I don't understand cat psychology, but I wish he'd decided eating was good before he went to the vet.... but I'm so glad he's feeling a little more himself. And now I'm watching What's Up Doc, and waiting for Galactica.
