What Are They Waiting For?  —  D-day says that I'm one of the biggest pollyannas in the blogosphere about the November election.  My sunny upbeat belief that the Democrats are pretty much a shoe-in and that all this unpleasantness will be long forgotten by then is what gets me through these days of obnoxious online life.

Murtha's CTC Corp  —  Lots of news making the rounds right now about John Murtha's earmarks.  One familiar recipient is CTC (Concurrent Technologies Corporation).  “Corporation” is a bit of a misnomer since CTC is a 501(c)(3) Public Charity.  —  Knowing something about non-profits I decided to do a little sleuthing.
