(no subject)

I didn't follow much of the convention coverage this week. Every once in a while I'd turn on NPR and hear them talking about how the Democrats had to be "strong on national security" and present a "coherent foreign policy" but I don't know what happened next because I was shouting "COMPARED TO WHAT?" at my dashboard.

( Fortunately I have my weekly paper to tell me stuff. )

It looks like I haven't posted anything but Times links for a couple of weeks. I'll try to get a personal update in soon.
