Alan, I hope to have time to actually respond to your late evening posts. I very much enjoy reading your thoughts and discoveries. Keep 'em coming! :-)
My pleasure, listener. Thanks for the positive feedback. I think we all enjoy one another's contributions to the conversation of the village. On a less positive note, the blog link formatting that I stored away in my web mail drafts folder so I could use it remotely doesn't copy... well, sorry about the cut and paste, but here are a few items.--Alan
Fascinating representation of voting social networks in the US Senate:
=============================== From politicalwire.com:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) said that "unless nominations start moving swiftly through the Senate, another round of dramatic rules changes may be in the offing," Roll Call reports.
Said Reid: "All within the sound of my voice, including my Democratic senators and the Republican senators who I serve with, should understand that we as a body have the power on any given day to change the rules with a simple majority, and I will do that if necessary."
Ya think? ===================== Why so little ressurection in the United States? http://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2013/04/why-are-there-so-few-resurrected-corpses-in-the-united-states/274681/
=========================== An anthropologist joins the ranks of the underappreciated sanitation workers of New York City. The result? An eye-opening account of the mysterious and dangerous world of trash. http://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2013/04/the-secret-world-of-garbagemen/274536/
