I've escaped up until now, but Susie over at Suburban Guerrilla finally tagged me with the dreaded "Meme of Fours." (In the blogosphere, you actually have to respond to these or it's eternal bad luck -- all your readers drift way, your get blogger's block, your fingers forget QWERTY...)
Four jobs you’ve had in your life: Plumber's assistant, supermarket bagger, Assistant Director of Research fo rSafety and Health, Special Assistant to the Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health.
Four movies you could watch over and over: Who'll Stop the Rain, Off The Map, Lion in Winter, "Z"
Four places you’ve lived: Bologna (Italy), Bonn (Germany), Palos Verdes Estates, CA, Takoma Park, MD
Four TV shows you love to watch: ER, West Wing, Alias, Lost

Four websites you visit daily: Suburban Guerrilla, Effect Measure, Political Animal, SirotaBlog

And now it's my turn. I'm tagging the recently-returned-honeymooner, Nathan Newman, the blogger most likely to get a pair of cement overshoes from his old friends, David Sirota, blogger and Senate candidate Jonathan Tasini, and for a view from the dark side, Pat Cleary at Manufacturers (NAM) Blog.
You all are IT. Ignore this at your peril.
