Atrios seems to think the following Iowa Democratic Party site will have better coverage of the Iowa caucuses than the networks. Don't know if he's right - but for what it's worth, I'm sharing the link with any political junkies out there.

February will mark the 5th anniversary of the untimely cancellation of Cupid with Jeremy Piven and Paula Marshall.
Ironically, it was cancelled the week of St. Valentine's day.
I'm doing some cleaning. Anyone want any of the following movies on VHS, for the cost of postage:
Fantasia, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Endless summer II, Indiscreet, Dick, Casablanca, Philadelphia, When a Man Loves a Woman, Passion Fish, Notorious, Cabaret, Babe, or All that Jazz.
Just let me know at my profile address.
This will go out to the list as well, but I thought the rest of the board might be interested, and maybe some New Yorkers or others may want to hike up (or down) for it.
Saturday, February 14, 2004 (which I first typed as 2003…duh!) is the Worcester VDay production of The Vagina Monologues...a production where all the proceeds will go to a local Domestic Violence Shelter and Rape Crisis Center. Please see this website (created by our own thessaly) for more information.
Now for my harassing. Nora, thessaly and I all have a monologue in the production (I actually have two! Yes…I’m that crazy). Plus, thessaly and I have been working our ASSES off helping with the organizing of the production. All Somervillians are expected to attend. Yes, that even means Cindy and Ken ;) No more hiding you two! It’s sure to be a fabulously fun night, and the money couldn’t be going to a more worthy cause.
Feel free to e-mail me at my profile address with any questions. Also, Somervillians, look out for an e-mail to the list.
Disclaimer: Of course, if you have a REALLY good excuse, you don't have to attend, but it has to be a REALLY good excuse!
Attention Seattlistas, or anyone with friends in Seattle looking for a job:
My office is looking for someone to be my maternity leave replacement. It's at least a 6-month position, starting in early March to have some overlap with me, and there's a good chance it'll turn permanent if I decide not to come back. Which is how I'm strongly leaning at present. They're recruiting for a full-time person, and it carries full benefits.
Despite my own problems here, I feel like this could be a great job for someone with more of a team orientation than what I have. Let's face it--I don't exactly Play Well With Others. Also, the fact that when I started this job in 1999 I was on my own, and then had a team kind of built around me as we ramped up development staff for a capital campaign, made it hard for me to adapt, because I liked it so much better when I was on my own and never got used to having to go through more than one person to get stuff done.
The job requires someone who's a strong writer and an all-around responsible, well-organized person, above all. You don't have to be expert with numbers/money, but you're dealing with banking and tax info, so you need to be a responsible record-keeper who can manage high school math on an Excel spreadsheet. College education required, experience in copywriting, PR, development, fundraising, and/or event planning strongly desirable.
If you or a friend is interested, email me and I'll send you the URL for the posting and answer any questions you have.
