Greetings.
It is Friday. I was starting to lose hope that it would ever get here, but alas, it has. And I'm so glad.
First, I give you the quote of the day - "This coffee has given me a new perspective on life." --Jessi Eckert, my co-worker extraordinare, lamenting about the Au Bon Pain Hazelnut, which, I hereby declare, doubles as fuel for employees of the Hearst-Argyle Washington News Bureau.
In celebration of Friday - I give you a snapshot of how my brain - low on sleep and high on caffeine has been working this week.
Here are a few observations:
1. Condoleezza Rice drinking it up on the Mideast Trip. Yee-ha! I guess her job is pretty stressful, so why not? Can't a girl have a cocktail while trying to work out a historical peace deal?
Sip it up, Condi!
(disclaimer: I don't know for sure that daiquiri was loaded, but she was smiling a lot)
2. Politicians and their not-so-subtle signs. This is nothing new. President Bush likes his signs as the background, or a banner up above (Hello - remember "Mission Accomplished?")
Well, Nancy Pelosi likes hers on the podium, like this one here <-----. Now, she's taken it a step further. I couldn't find a pic to show you EXACTLY what I'm talking about - but at her news conference yesterday, she had a GIANT, shameless plug for her website. It was huge,Like the size of her head.
3. I realized today how much Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson looks like that Russian spy who was poisoned a few years ago.
Freaky, eh?
Happy Weekend everyone!!
