Monday open thread

I actually read the paper (online) today, but I still don’t have anything to say.  I find it very hard to blog on a lap top, since I usually write with an ergonomically sinuous keyboard and a mouse.  The learning curve for my hands in dealing with this little laptop keyboard and a mouse pad is sufficiently intense that I have to be impassioned to write.  As it is, the news today did not inflame me.  Although if I were to recommend one thing, it would be this, which falls into the category of “would you buy a used car (or, indeed, any car) from this man?”

The other comment I have is to wonder why it is okay for Rahm Emanuel, an unelected official, to be the power behind the throne, when it was considered the end of the world and the sign of all evil that Cheney, an elected official, was thought by some to be the power behind the throne?

And on those thoughts, my exhausted fingers give out….
