Spoke with a federal prosecutor the other day.  She was honorably very circumspect, but she couldn’t stop herself from saying that a KSM trial in New York’s federal court system would be a “nightmare.”  I don’t know her political viewpoints, so I can only believe that she’ talking about the

The race is on to see whether the Motrin kicks in first or my back goes out first.  No sitting at the computer for me right now, at least for several hours.  I’m alternating between flat on my back and moving around to ease the spasms.  I’m betting on the

I’m running, but there’s no reason you can’t kvell about the victories in Virginia and New Jersey.  They are a big deal.  Also, Michelle Malkin takes a sanguine view of Hoffman’s narrow defeat in New York’s 23rd District.  While I worry that the Republican Party will take it as a

I have deadline work today, so won’t be able to blog for a while.  ‘Til then, I was impressed with these morning reads: The Post-Gracious President, which focuses on Obama’s ongoing battle against the now long-departed President Bush.  I think Obama is a singularly unpleasant person, as I’ve blogged before,

GM’s Place discusses the way in which the Obama Administration is using a splitting technique that’s pretty classic for patients with Borderline Personality Disorders.

I’m hustling off to the last soccer game of the season, but I have a must-read for you:  Jennifer Rubin explaining some of the Constitutional nuances our White House seems to miss. Michele Bachmann — a true neocon, dedicated to liberty. A fascinating account of the moral price educational institutions

Turns out my mother simply fainted because she fainted.  When you’re her age, that sometime happens.  It scared the living daylights out of my son, though, who thought she had died right before his eyes.  We talked about it and he’s recovered from the experience now, as she has.  Long

I must have been tired, since I slept for almost 11 hours.  Not surprising, I guess, considering the chronic insomnia that plagues me and the usual 5-6 hour nights.  I’m feeling quite good right now, although I have a little bit of a sleep hangover.  It would be a great

Gone for the day to watch the Blue Angels. Here’s an open thread, complete with some Bugs Bunny:

I’m not sick, but the children are, and my computer had a few hiccups this morning.  The computer is back, but the kids are still languishing, so I’m off to a slow start.  I’ll be back soon, I promise.

Going to the dojo.  Yay!  I really need to get some nervous energy discharged.  So here’s your open thread.

Apologies for the prolonged blog silence today, but I’ve been running from pillar to post since 7 a.m.  Of course, when the pillar is a new, well-paying work assignment, and one of the posts is lunch with both Thomas Lifson, of American Thinker, and Robin of Berkeley, you really can’t
