This has definitely not been a bad day.  It’s ranged from irritating, to neutral, to quite good — but none of it has included time at the computer.  I’m now heading off for the post-school carpool circuit, after which I treat myself to the pleasure of a neighborhood mom’s night

I find irritating people who comment on ones stress level and then either (a) add to it or (b) do nothing to alleviate it. My morning is taken over by matters domestic, and blogging will resume in the afternoon.

I’ve been on the go since 6 a.m. and am only now sitting down at the computer — where I have 6 minutes until my next “on the go moment.”  I’ll be back here as of 10:30 my time and I finally figured out what I want to write about.

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. Chicago Boyz looks at the way that, counterintuitively for those who aren’t paying attention, liberal orders suddenly collapse, turning authoritarian regimes when they fail to fulfill

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
