The Cure for Boredom is Curiosity.

The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity. This is one of my favorite quotes – most often attributed to Dorothy Parker – and I’m using it to introduce this post.
When you blog, you link. When you link, you read. When you read, you learn. And when you learn, you thrive. [...]

WWDD?

Seems like two of the Bush boys (that would be the prez and the gov) are fighting over who to woo. According to this interesting article from the L.A.

With all the, um, support cash the Bush family [...]
