This morning’s New York Times includes an editorial about the 2006 budget. Not surprisingly, it includes a number of tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans, the top .2% of wage earners.

To me! Yay! I’m headed to 40 more quickly than I thought possible. I don’t feel anywhere close to 40. I have to say that in the last 24 hours, the blog world has really raised my spirits. I was tickled at the P/H meme. I was also tickled at the mommy blog thread at…

Over at Unfogged, there’s a great post about Mommy Blogs. And even greater are the comments, in which Bitch, Ph.D is, of course, heavily participating. In fact, I can’t believe I got to post this before her. I think ogged is right, by the way. Just think of all the news coverage dooce is getting…
