The weather is finally changing, around here…. a cold front moving through, and it’s been raining nonstop for the last four hours or so.  Driving home was an interesting adventure.  Apparently the signal patterns on the night time AM band

I must say, James Joyner disappointed me this morning. I admit, I came down on him pretty hard… and particularly hard for someone I so often agree with on most matters…  Perhaps overly so, but bless it all, why on

Mrs. Pelosi has, apparently, come to her senses. Michele Malkin reports that Representative Alcee Hastings is out of consideration for the chair of the House Intellgence Committee.  I commend Mrs. Pelosi for the move.  The nation will be better
