Not in the clamor of the crowded street, not in the shouts and plaudits of the throng, but in ourselves, are triumph and defeat.--Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

REDIRECT ALERT! (Scroll down past this mess if you're trying to read an archived post. Thanks. No, really, thanks.)

Due to my inability to control my temper and complacently accept continued silliness with not-quite-as-reliable-as-it-ought-to-be Blogger/Blogspot, your beloved Possumblog will now waddle across the Information Dirt Road and park its prehensile tail at http://possumblog.mu.nu.

This site will remain in place as a backup in case Munuvia gets hit by a bus or something, but I don't think they have as much trouble with this as some places do. ::cough::blogspot::cough:: So click here and adjust your links. I apologize for the inconvenience, but it's one of those things.

Karenna Gore-Schiff Roots in the Grass
Greg Hlatky's take on Goregirl#1's possible run for...something:

So here's my suggestion for Ms. Gore-Schiff. If she's interested in running for office and loves grassroots politics, how's about starting out with some humble place in the political sphere, one which brings her in constant personal contact with the concerns of ordinary folks. Something akin to a township trustee, who has to endure to some idiot at a meeting ranting about a cellphone tower nearby, worry about whether there'll be enough salt for the roads this winter, or changing the zoning on a piece of property. Or, since her children will certainly be attending one of New York City's fine public schools, sitting on the her childrens' community school board and listening to the concerns of parents.

Somehow, I don't quite think that's what she had in mind. Something where a chief-of-staff handles the rabble so she can go off to tony fundraisers with the glitterati was probably closer to the mark.


Well, at least she won't be growing a beard.
