I have so much love for this ad!!!

This ad was created by Senator John Cornyn's staff and aired at last week's State Republican Convention in Houston.

And there's an awesome poem response in the comments.

I went to a lot of museums. Help?

Does anyone have access to the JSTOR archive and could get me this article about the Ashmolean Museum? It's just out of personal interest.

About twelve years about I quit my job and backpacked around the UK for a while. One of my favourite places was a museum which I remember as being about a block away from the British Museum, for some reason, but now I'm thinking it was Ashmolean Museum in Oxford.

It was a large old building with a second floor that was like, balconies that ran all around the sides, so you could look over the edge at the ground floor and it was CHOCKA with what seemed to be some mad old gentleman’s collection of everything he could carry away from the colonies. There were glass cases full of shrunken heads, beads, wall displays full of spears, headdresses etc. And all this stuff was just crammed together. It was AWESOME.

If it was the Ashmolean, it doesn't look like that now. I can't help thinking that's a shame.

Oh, awesome!!!

CNN journos are blogging their impressions as the Vice Presidential debate rages

Much more entertaining than working.

Ooh, and this one! Maybe not as impartial as the CNN one. A little bit. *g*

Personally, I quite fancy Sweden.
