For reasons entirely unrelated to a recent NBC made-for-TV movie, I got to thinking over the weekend that California may be due for another big quake. It has been quite a while since Northridge shook, and it just seems that a long period of little activity is never a good thing with earthquakes.

I think what’s really bothering me about politics lately is this tendency for partisans to stoop to the level of the other guy. For instance, a while back, Ann Coulter suggested that Supreme Court Justices (some of them at least) should be killed. It was an incredibly stupid thing to say, but that’s
