Happy birthday ellarien! And sorry it's a day late - I forgot about the date line. Hope you had a great day out there in China!

That vile little man

By which I mean George W. Bush, who has vetoed the Senate's stem-cell research bill. How short-sighted can one person be? And apparently the Senate won't be able to muster the necessary numbers to override the veto. Sigh. American politics. At least we are rather more forward-thinking here in Canada where such research can be done. There's a photo of him (Bush) on Google news with that stupid smirk on his face, giving a thumbs up. Grrr. He makes me furious.

...and on top of that...

I think my cat Clio has done Something Nasty in the Armchair. There is a distinct effluence. Bother.

Sunday Afternoon on the Island of... Flickr?

But in other news, here's a delightful photograph on the Flickr blog, showing the community of Beloit, Wisconsin, coming together to recreate Seurat's famous painting.
