Jury-rigged, jerry-built: Maybe a problem?
The word had popped up the week before in The New York Times Magazine article, "The Sleep-Industrial Complex," all about the mattress and pharmaceutical industries. The piece included a reference to a man who was such an enthusiast for Sleep Number Beds that he "jury-rigged something similar for his bulldog." On the subject of exactly how the dog expressed its preference for a particular Sleep Number, the author was silent. Jury-rigging is a term with nautical origins. "Rig" is one of those little words so short that it contains nearly infinite meanings (an early form of nanotechnology). One of its meanings is "the arrangement of masts, sails, etc., on a vessel." In the days of the tall ships, when a vessel on the high seas lost a mast in a storm or a battle, the ship's carpenter would fashion what was known as a jury mast from spare parts down in the hold.

Kerry: Around the far left corner, ahead by a nose: Super Tuesday is still a ways off but that isn't stopping Paul Weyrich from making some predictions about what will go down that big day and who will likely be left standing
Why the Democrats still don't get it: As a Catholic writer Peter Vere wasn't surprised that Catholics for Dean tried to recuit him into their ranks.
