As I drove by one of the (way too many) Microsoft Corporate Plazas on
my way to work this morning I was struck by the name of the new residents
(or owners?).  The sign on the building read "Mic  Soft".  I was wondering
if this was a Northwest Nouveau rendering of "McSoft" or some relation to
erstwhile port commissioner Mic Dinsmore.  Or...(need I say more)

I was paying only slight attention to Cokie Roberts's analysis of the
hubbub over Knute Gingrich's recent troubles, when I had to stop and
pinch myself.  She actually referred to Knute as "ethically challenged!"
Is this the birth of a new politically correct label?

Upon reflection I knew in my heart that Cokie had no idea what she was
saying here...
