Saturday Quickies
Roy Blunt, July 25:
Senior Republican officials acknowledged privately that there was another factor at work in the Republican tide against the housing bill – a potential leadership fight after the fall elections. Looking at potential losses in November, the current leadership team is not assured another term at the top. And Mr. Boehner, other [...]
Yay!!
I have a sitemeter and a blogroll again.
Good times…
A Realist, Not a Cynic
“But the larger point is that you can’t bring yourself to make any distinctions between any of these groups. You’ve given up.
I actually wrote the Four Lethal Cynicisms for you.
–Booman
The Four Lethal Cynicisms:
The first lethal cynicism is the conviction that the people are too stupid, too susceptible, and too selfish to be counted upon [...]
Gauntlet
Tomorrow I leave to go pick up Sam, again an extended trip across the border, and then back about to Benton, PA for the Out Among the Stars Bluegrass Festival. The trip across the border adds an extra three hours round trip to the already-brutal eight hours I travel to Syracuse and back, but [...]

My brother has dogged Larry Johnson days and days and days on end. Relentless!

Rebuilding the Blogroll
Since I moved to the new server, you may notice my blogroll has disappeared. I thought that was a temporary thing, but when we upgraded to the new version of Wordpress, it seems to have disappeared forever.
Sometime today, I’ll be rebuilding that roll. If I forget anyone, please email me.
How do you like [...]
