It's cold out side and we're experiencing some post Inauguration hibernation....
Not too much happening after all of the Inaugural festivities. Mostly people just trying to recover and keep warm! See Busboys & Poets, Politics & Prose and The Kennedy Center for ongoing free activities... or take a break from all of the activity like I've been doing and catch up with friends, cook, read a book, watch tv or a movie, clean your room. Hope you're all staying warm!

Backstabbing for Beginners is at once a witty tale of one man's political coming of age, and a stinging indictment of the hypocrisy that prevailed at the heart of one of the world's most idealistic institutions.
