Word Gets Around at http://www.wordgetsaround.blogspot.com/ is blogged from the UK by Esmeralda who, in addition to having one of my favorite names, has put together a real “PageDowner.” The blog is more personal than political, but when she does bring her opinion to bear on a situation, the moment is spontaneous and fresh and crystal clear.

This is the second time I’ve posted this comment, which irritates me, because it was a long comment. Grrrr.
Anyway, Punxsatawney Phil saw his shadow today, which of course means we should expect another six weeks of winter.
The New York Times, however, had the audacity to posit a conflicting view vis a vis Staten Island Chuck.
