Its not a bad place: probably one of the nicest Borders has set me up in. The only problem is it is a HOTEL. Normally they set us up in some kind of business suite, set up for an extended stay. I have neither a mini fridge, nor a mircrowave, and only a tiny coffee maker. Guess we'll be doing a lot of eating out.

How unexpected. As soon as the media and the country starts to focus on John Kerry (and his 7point jump in the polls), we get a new terror alert. Luckily, this one is confined to just Washington, DC, New York City, and New Jersey, so the rest of the country doesn't have to get its panties in a bunch.
