"The bigger problem is that over the last thirty years, the Democratic party has moved to the right, and the Republican party has moved into a mental hospital. It's true. We don't have a progressive party in this country. If you want a party to represent the hedge fund managers, and the banking industry, and the insurance companies, and big pharma, and agriculture lobbyists, you have that party; that's the Democrats. And they sit across the aisle from a small group of religious lunatics, flat-earthers, and civil-war re-enactors, who call themselves the Republicans and communicate mostly by AM radio." -- Bill Maher, on the CBS television program The Late Show With David Letterman, 2009-11-05

Really rough week; somewhat less muscle pain today but still very tired, dizzy. Did get a couple of cute photos yesterday though:

Alas, the shot where the whistlepig decided to run away and startled a nearby bunny in the process so they were both fleeing the same direction ... wound up being really, really out of focus -- I wasn't quick enough.

(I think one of these was with the 400mm lens and the other with the 200mm, but I lost track; they might have both been with the 400mm (at very different distances, of course).)
