Powerful analysis from Olbermann
The entire [US] government has failed us [i.e. the American people] on Iraq.
Our politics... is now about the answer to one briefly-worded question.
Mr. Bush has failed.
Mr. Warner has failed.
Mr. Reid has failed.
So.
Who among us will stop this war—this War of Lies?
To he or she, fall the figurative keys to the nation.
To all the others—presidents and majority leaders and candidates and rank-and-file Congressmen and Senators of either party—there is only blame… for this shameful, and bi-partisan, betrayal.

The seven wonders of Canada - 52 of them!
Will be interesting to see the voting on this. 52 nominations for seven spots as "Canadian Wonders."
My two nominations (Nahanni National Park and the Cabot Trail) made the cut but are up against some incredible competition.

Wherefore art thou bees?
"If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe then man would only have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man." - Albert Einstein.

Yaletown Brewing Co.
The pride of Yaletown (the beer, not the guy in the hat soon to - almost literally - hit the floor).

The Collection
Took a shot of the single-malt collection the other day. Damn, need some Johnnie Green!

Home at last.
Flew coast to coast for work on back-to-back weeks. Slept 4 or 5 hours a night while on the road, ate & drank more/worse than normal and had fair to lousy service in hotels, airports and planes (exception: Canadian security personnel much friendlier than TSA folks - one guy even offered me a chair when I was putting my shoes back on!).
The upside is I got to spend a few 'days-in-the-life' of a traveling consultant, which I appreciate experiencing. I imagine one gets used to it after awhile (one could even grow to love it), but with snow on the US East Coast, inconvenient flight times available from the airlines and productive time lost in meetings and transit, I'd not want to make a habit of it.
Upside #2 - met some fantastic people on both trips. Regardless of how crazy or busy work gets, I have to remind myself that I'm privileged to work with top professionals, many of whom are quietly very decent human beings.
