Thanks!

Let's give a round of applause to my sister Annie! It was entertaining to learn how truly liberal she is. Annie, I advise you to look harder at Bill Richardson. He is for the death penalty. He supports the line-item veto. He is pro-NRA. He is certainly a Democrat - with left-of-center views on most issues. But he has some significant problems.

And Dennis Kucinich does think he is at a Grateful Dead concert. Hallucinogenic drugs are the only explanation for his continued candidacy.

Introducing....In Person........

I am Annie, sister of Peter.

I am shamelessly liberal.

I mean that…literally no shame.

I have neither the time nor the inclination to follow the happenings of the political world as closely as my brother; However, I care deeply about the stories and issues which I do follow.

I could not begin to live up to Peter’s standard of scathing yet humorous remarks.

But I will do whatever it is that I do.

For now, I must attend to my 18 month old. (Not a soccer mom yet.)

I shall return and try not to bore or scandalize you.

Until then…

Vacation

My wife and I will be celebrating our 10th Wedding Anniversery on a cruise ship in the Eastern Mediterannean. I will be away from cheap internet access from tomorrow through October 16. While I know this saddens all of you, just think of my sacrifice. I am going to miss the Red Sox beating the Angels and the Indians. And I will have no way to have five to six family members or friends thereof read my random musings.

But - to make your time easier, I have given Annie, my younger sister, the keys to It's Better Left Said. Hopefully, she'll be great, but not so great that I am deposed (they say coups are more likely when the leader leaves the country for whatever reason). Enjoy, and see you in a couple of weeks!
