We had a posting eruption at our humble establishment a few days ago to offset the dearth of activity from which we suffered throughout most of the week.  T’wasn’t like at Powerline, where Deacon and Rocketman departed to parts unknown for well-earned and long-overdue vacations, leaving Brother Trunk to keep the gerbil wheel spinning.  As often happens to us, both Jenber and I were pre-empted by an overabundance of “real life” intrusions.  And as also happens when that happens, the itch became too overpowering not to rabidly scratch.

So why am I only posting Friday’s recap now?  Well, I, um, went away for the weekend with my family right after Saturday morning’s award-deserving blogcast.  To, you know, get away from it all.

A pity GOP Senator John Warner can’t take a lot more than just a vacation.  Senate Dems could use one fewer RINO poodle.

Rudy Giuliani’s stubborn presence in the GOP presidential top tier continues to baffle me given his support for the Big Black Monolith of judicial imperialism.  Perhaps even more baffling is how his two principle rivals (or one and a half, anyway) can’t get out of their own rhetorical way enough to exploit it.

A friendly note to French President Nicholas Sarkozy: Thanks for your support, but we need the UN back in Iraq like your country needs more snotty Napoleon wannabes.

The Democrats will bow down to golden statues of George Bush before they’ll let two-fifths of California’s fifty-five Electoral College votes slip through their fingers.

Beware issue polls that are long on generics and short on specifics, lest you believe the American people to be more right-of-center than they really are.

The “pork-busting” dynamic grinds cannibalistically on, just as I predicted.

Yet another libospheric tour, this time on the Donks’ congenital incapability of taking national security seriously.  If you’re expecting another explaining how they can be back in power anyway, it’s probably gonna be a long wait.
