It's been a U2 kind of day:

You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it

And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if our way should falter
Along the stony pass

It's just a moment
This time will pass

In other news, I went to a good bar in Baltimore ($2 Guinness and not smoky). And this article from Commonweal was really interesting, particularly the sidebar, which describes the author's attempts to reconcile Catholicism and liberalism. The sidebar is unfortunately formatted, but it's a really interesting read.
