vrijdag 9 november 2012 Up at 4:23. Turn on 1010 WINS to check on things in New York. About 600,000 residents are still without power and the people are at their wits' end. Report - LIPA Brings In More Manpower To Restore Power To Thousands. Hummus sandwich for breakfast. Turn on Stephanie Miller. Right Wing World is really something else. Glenn Beck is a deranged man. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) calls in to talk about how Congress has a new mandate to protect working families. Senator Sanders keeps score on Congress after Election Night.

Walk down to Caffe Ladro for coffee. Why does everyone have to be high-maintenance? Kids, moms, women with dogs. My coffee is getting cold while everyone else is being dealt with. Walk up Westlake to work. Hang out with the Dolphins. They're outside. It's nice to share the playground with the Wildflowers. It gets cold, so we head in early. The kids love Feet Are Not For Kicking.

Over to Sea Otters. They're settling down for lunchtime. Not quite as leisurely as yesterday. I was hoping to read School Bus with them before nap time, but noooooo... Lights off. "Night, night." Actually, they go to sleep quickly. Turn on All Things Considered. Courtesy of the Shanghai Propaganda Poster Art Center, we can enjoy a huge treasure-trove of Mao-era propaganda posters. Interesting stories. Report - The Art Of Chinese Propaganda. Glorious!

I walk straight up to my place. I'm too tired for a walk. Watch the news - KOMO, Nightly News, PoliticsNation and Hardball. The President confronts the Fiscal Cliff deal. It's sounds like he wants to be realistic and fair. But what gets me is a clearly touching and authentic moment in Chicago with his campaign staff. "I'm really proud of all of you," Obama said.
