May 26

 We got our errands done easily yesterday. Dropped off a stack of DVDs which we no longer want to keep at the library. They have a nice DVD section that you can borrow from just like books. Then checked out a new bookstore/coffee bar. Really nice--sort of a little sister to the Tattered Cover in Denver. Only one floor but nicely laid out. I blew my budget for books for the coming month. Coffee was pretty good as well. Then we went over to our landlord's office and paid the rent. We hadn't intended to go out today but Mom wanted to take care of a balance at the local big box grocery store we generally shop at so we went over and got it paid.

Robert Reich is absolutely right in calling out the both-sidesism of the news reporting on the debt ceiling situation. After it is only a Republican who has said they don't need to negotiate with "our hostage." It is only the Republicans who have constantly moved the goal posts to include poison pills. The old saying is that it takes two to make peace but only one to make war (or any other conflict.)
