I tend to be more plugged into these things nowadays. Here are some interesting DC political factoids:
A new Hays Research poll shows Alaska Republican Gov. Sarah Palin now has 54% positive rating and 42% negative rating among Alaskan voters. That's a dramatic change from the 86% positive and just 9% negative a year ago.
Today is budget day, when the Obama Administration releases the details of its next fiscal year's budget.
Republican and Presidential wannabe Mitt Romney is making his primary residence at the family home in New Hampshire, the site of the first-in-the-nation presidential primary.
The Maine Legislature yesterday gave final approval to a gay marriage law. And the governor signed it into law (that last part was a bit of a surprise).
In 1669 Cardinal Richelieu had the tips of his dinner knives ground down when he saw a dinner guest picking his teeth with a knife tip, marking the first time dinner knives had rounded tips (okay maybe that isn't a current bit of gossip but it's interesting anyway, in a Sarah Palin sort of way).
Alpha is Alan Tudyk (okay well that's not at all related to politics old or new but it's still very cool and you all should be watching the season finale of Dollhouse this Friday at 9 PM, and click HERE to get all caught up).

About Me
- Mark Gorman
- I was born in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, along the banks of the Susquehanna River, in the valley made up by Bald Eagle Mountain to the south, and gentle hills and valleys to the north. That place that sheltered me, gave me food and friends, and both physical and spiritual nourishment for 18 years. That is the space where I was physically and emotionally formed. Ever since growing up there . . . because of growing up there . . . I have been inexorably linked to nature . . . to the earth and to all life.
