I don't know. Richard Gere, Angelina Jolie and Bono are going to be there too. I think this means no snowboarding pics. (You can't have a Dem with Gere pics and snowboarding pics from the same trip. Just too too much.) And poor Sen. Kerry has to hang out with Frist. (Industrial size can of Evil-Be-Gone. Must be buying this in bulk lately.) Lots of pics of Kerry and Yuschenko of the Ukraine together. (Hmmm, that should generate some interesting posts in DU:G) Maybe some of other dignitaries. But no snowboarding pics. I think I'm going to have a funk.

Damn. How can you go to Switzerland in Jan. and not have snowboarding pics. Sigh!:( Stupid Richard Gere.

Edit : Icnnt' spel.

Where can I buy me some of that Evil-Be-Gone? There should be some interesting conversation in first class after that vote...

Awww...shall we recycle, say, THIS one? Hate to do it to you while you're at work. :evilgrin:

I really, really like these pics. I have no idea why. (Okay, I do :evilgrin: but I don't even ski. Just one of those things.)

BTW, The Economics summit might be fun.

Costco might have Evil-Be-Gone, I'll check.

Or if it will be live in-studio on Sunday. That should be an interesting show. Should be lots and lots to cover, including Russert trying to get Kerry to say his campaign sucked. Sigh! Russert can be an asshole.

I forgot about that. It's either pre-recorded or by satellite? Or maybe JK's coming home for it?

About Russert. His signature performance for me was the show on CNBC where he interviewed Krugman and O'Reilly at the same time, and never called O'Reilly once on his bullshit - just allowed him to spew freely.

His kid is a freshman at BC - in my son's class - and he gave the commencement speech last year at my daughter's BC graduation. He's at best a hack and middleweight. At worst, a suckup media whore. The speech was unimpressive - full o'platitudes.
