Still no goddamn closing date, so I guess I’ll have to cancel that trip to Europe. Just as well with the big travel alert or whatever it is, I guess. I heard Mike Chertoff yesterday saying Americans shouldn’t go traipsing around Europe with American flag patches on their stuff. I think that ship sailed about seven years ago, Mike. I haven’t actually been to Europe since ’04 or something (that reminds me, I really need to cash in my Euros and Pounds), but my ‘Canada’ clothes are still ready to travel if need be. As long as I don’t have to fly to get there. Flying sucks.

Unless you have your own broom, of course. Then it might be fun – except for picking the bugs out of your teeth. Speaking of flying around on brooms, just in case you missed it, here’s Christine O’Donnell’s new campaign ad.
