The Alaska Senate race has been called for Begich. I wonder if Stevens has started begging for that pardon yet…

The remarkable thing is how long it took to determine a winner between a convicted felon and a law-abiding citizen, and how close the final results were (a margin of 3k votes?)

That should tell you quite a bit about the political environment that spawned Sarah Palin. Speaking of, I guess she’ll have to figure out another way to weasel her way onto the national stage now that taking over Stevens’ seat is no longer an option.

No Stevens. No Palin. That’s a good day.

Expectations

Hello! I'm Alice, which is my real name (most of the other names here have been changed, though, to protect the innocent). I live in an almost-100-year-old house in downtown Chattanooga, TN with my first husband, Ralph (who is from New Canaan, CT), and a cockapoo named Nonnie (the moniker comes from a Laurens van der Post book). Our daughter, Emmie, plays a supporting role on the blog -- she's off being a student, but she pops in often enough to keep things interesting.

I originally hale from Batavia, NY, a quiet little town in rural western New York. Ralph and I met while attending college in Carlisle, PA, and then moved on to Chapel Hill, NC together before finally settling in Tennessee. Other places we've lived in long enough to have a mailing address include London and San Francisco.

This blog is about a lot of things -- the places I visit, things I cook, people I meet, photos I take, things I read, and -- of course, politics. I'm an unrepentant progressive, liberal, lefty, euro-loving, educated elitist and I'm looking forward to an administration that doesn't raise my blood pressure quite as often as the outgoing one did...
