I'm still trying to carve out time to finish the book I'm reading, about the Lincoln administration. Lincoln loved the works of Shakespeare, and often entertained friends and guests by reciting long passages of The Bard's works from memory.

After watching the recent CNN/Youtube debate (on youtube, of course) I felt that I was hearing too many platitudes and not enough specifics, and that Obama dodged too many questions.
