• Bush's new head of the FDA, Dr. W David Hager, a practicing OB/GYN who describes himself as largely "pro-life" and refuses to prescribe contraceptives to unmarried women. You have got to be JOKING. I don't know who this guy is, nor have I taken the time to validate this, but if this is what we're going to be facing, THAT SCARES me and my box that doesn't function very well at all without the hormones. Not to mention the fact I don't want to get pregnant.

• For those of you running Firefox, I highly recommend the FoxyTunes plugin. I LOVE IT. Don't have to switch out of your browser to control your mp3 player.


• Who You Callin' Aggressive? Interesting article on Passive/Aggressiveness - New research suggests that in many cases it stems from a positive, socially protective instinct - to keep peace at home, avoid costly mistakes at work, even preserve some self-respect. Some of the people being demeaned as passive-aggressive are in fact being extremely careful not to commit mistakes, a strategy that has been successful for them, if not entirely conscious, said E. Tory Higgins of the Motivation Science Center at New York's Columbia University. They become difficult, he said, when their cautious instincts are overwhlemed by demands that they perceive as unreasonable...people with strong passive tendancies often grew up in loving but demanding families, which gave them responsibilities they perceived to be unmanageable. Sounds about right.
