We are really worried that the LAPD has really seen this week somehow as a week of redemption.

I've seen the joy of just having my mom around. It's a way for me to give back somehow.

I'm getting pessimistic. I'm getting worried. We have about a week left -- at the most two weeks -- and we aren't to first base,

If we hadn't heard from Greenspan last week that the Fed is still worried about an uneven recovery, we might be more upset about these numbers. But Greenspan is concerned that these retail sales numbers could falter later on so these numbers probably won't have that great an impact.

Another thing that worried me... was the array of devout exercises that was seen by each group as having a unique and a divine validity. That is, people who were loyalists of any form of religious orthodoxy assumed that their set of gestures, and their set alone, represented true love for God.

I'm a little worried that the political momentum that we witnessed this week may dissipate somewhat.
