 Man, this is hard. This was the first time we’d gotten the band together in about six weeks, and we just walked up and

I don’t know what to say, Billy, except that if you’re going to go, it may as well be with family and friends, a few beers, and a few smiles. Too often, it goes the other way.. suddenly, painfully,

I see Jonah Goldberg has taken up the chant over “true diversity”.  He’s getting the usual feedback from idiots such as Ezra Klein.

A follow-on to my Greenwald post of yesterday… read James Joyner’s updated comments which he placed in a new thread, over at OTB… and then read the comments section… and pay particular attention to my references to the double
