Oh, Specter, not Spector!

Well, the SS Conservative is sinking and listing WAY starboard, so any level-headed salt would abandon ship. And, he faces a tough primary challenge from a hardcore Tory, so it's a canny political move to leave the minority party and join the winning side. We'll see how fairweather a friend Specter turns out to be. Like me, he will be an independent who caucuses with the Dems.

Spector is going to be switching some other preferences, methinks...

Then I got to be in charge and the rule breakers really cheesed me off. Ah, but remember... I wasn't a DJ until I was in grad school. I might have been a bit more irreverent if I had been one during undergrad.

Now total cheese that every one of us did (I'm guessing) is the David Bowie/Peter Schilling segue. Even Bill's done that one. I remember about 30 seconds into the second song, thinking That was just a little too corny to be worth it. Guilty.
