(intermission)

I know I'm supposed to be finishing the calico nw tour stories - but I've found some other wonderful things to help you kill time in the workday. Mondays are hard for slackers...

£ Last night I pulled out a beer cozy as I wanted to enjoy a Pabst Blue Ribbon. After a few sips I wondered if the cozy was ever scientifically proven to ... actually do anything. (read in a boomy, echo-ey voice:)I consulted the internet !(you can stop the boomy voice now... Or.. yeah, you should stop) I found a really awesome page, where some folks scientifically tested the insulating effects of a beer cozy v. an un-insulated can. This is the kind of information everyone should know. It makes me wonder if, had I done this instead of my 7th grade science fair experiment(about why hockey pucks are frozen before hockey games), would I have been dis-qualified?

Andrew Sullivan's blog, which is awesome, pointed me toward this five page screenplay-ish scenario - written by 'West Wing' writer Lawrence O’Donnell Jr. - about what could happen at the democratic national convention. It must take a load of skill to make politics this interesting.
