Life is such a sweet insanity.

Wow! Three posts in one day. I'm on a roll.

In our office at work, we constantly have CNN on the screen. We never have the volume up, so we kind of have to figure out what's going on on the screen without audio assist. The past two days we've had to look at Condoleezza Rice and her whole confirmation deal.

Why does little Condy always look so cranky? She's always got a furrowed brow, hair moving only with her eyebrows, as if they're all attached as one unit. Perhaps they are. There's no twinkle in her eye. No spunk. Just a moving mouth, hairdo and set of eyebrows.

When does Condy let her hair down? What is she like off camera? Does she dance on the Xerox machine at office parties? Does she do a performance of "The Jackal" a la C J Cregg on The West Wing for good old Bush lite? I don't think so. She's the type that sits in the corner, adding the sour to her Whiskey Sour. She says 'yes' a lot.

I realize that not everyone can have the "gosh, darn I'm just normal folk" grin on their face like good old dubbya, but Condy honey, you need to lighten up a little. Perhaps all that Soviet study made her cranky.

Or maybe she knows more than she'd like to admit about the state of the world.
