another morning at the waveland

one pancake, a slice of ham, an over-easy egg and lots of barely drinkable coffee with bill richardson, fred thompson, ron paul, john edwards, john roberts and the rest of the "best team in politics," a bunch of secret service-looking people, and too many out-of-place and uncomfortable-looking republicans anxious for face time on cable news. and me, listening to npr on my walkman, wearing my little joe biden pin.

impressions:

1--bill richardson wanted to eat my breakfast;

2--I'M glad fred's not MY grandpa;

3--ron paul looks like a kid who promised to be good if his parents would take him to the circus;

4--john edwards would look better in jeans and a flannel shirt;

5--the massive cnn crew wants to get the hell out of cold weather.

it's gonna be interesting tonight, tomorrow, and the next few weeks.
