* The Angry Bird App turns out to be a data miner. Charming.
* The last couple days have been really rough on my body. I did get every thing done, but it was nasty and everything has turned out to be rather more expensive than I budgeted for.
* Someone tried to set off a backpack bomb at the MLK Parade in Spokane. Alert city workers spotted it in time for it to be disarmed.

* Only 18% of Americans want Health Care reform repealed. Republicans are still pushing ahead on repeal.
* Y'all know I'm no Reagan apologist, but I admit to being seriously uncomfortable with Reagan's sons having a nasty verbal fight over when the former president's Alzheimer's symptoms showed up. I know it's of historical interest, but it just seems so unseemly.
