I saw that at Digby's site just a few minutes ago, RMP! Very inspiring.
And guess what, Barron is from Billerica, MA, right next to my home town of Bedford, MA. We pronounce it "Billrick-ah."
Well, I am glad I came here on the first day of the new year. I have been very worried because my grad assistantship was eliminated as part of a group layoff (by a callous authoritarian wingnut AVP, of course). I found another assistantship at the University Press, but it's a 45% cut in pay. Gadzooks. So I am sitting here with the heat on 60 degrees, wondering how I will pay the gas bill! Of course, I am not the only one whose situation has worsened during the Bush years. I know people who have lost jobs, insurance, and homes. So it is time to look outward and think about how I can do some good this year. I will start by getting my daily dose of Truth from Glenn and inspiration and information from the good people here. Presumptuous Insect will be buzzing loudly in 2008!
