i saw a dude on a motorcycle fifty yards ahead of me flip end over end (twice, i think). disturbring shit (and what a terrible sound). such a long day; my eyes hurt so bad, i gotta take out my contacts. then a shower...mmmm. if you get a chance, i've got some reading material courtesy of today's wash post. please note: my position does not totally coincide w/ mr. anderson's (we basically reach the same conclusion applying slightly different analysis). a statement that was particularly resonant--

"a president must constantly make policy in the face of scientific uncertainty. from the options on smallpox vaccination to evaluation of north korean nuclear capability, this president has been required to come to urgent and highly consequential decisions in the face of unanswered, and unanswerable, questions. uncertainty is a quality that climate policy has in common with most of the other subjects with which a president must deal."
