Neither team did anything yesterday, and we're now at 3500 next June, which I could stand. The nearby caches, however, don't exist, so we have two more days of "nothing" before we can defend ourselves.

Rich had a filling put in this morning, and in the afternoon I saw "The Stepford Wives." Not bad, though I liked yesterday's movie better and I remember reading the book avidly.

It's been a year since we found Reflections!

Paul Krugman is not quite so brilliant as he thinks...

Joke of the day.

A comment at Chuck Muth:

Chuck: After I got over the disgust of the Clintons' behavior (dozing off during President Reagan�s memorial service at the Cathedral), I tried to find some humor, as The Gipper would have. I had to laugh as I looked again at the picture of the Clintons at his funeral. This is probably the first time they�ve slept together in a long time!!

No! Anything but that!

But if you put the equation another way. There are 10 mad fanatics each with a bomb capable of destroying your home. Each is independent and may select the time and method of their choosing to throw the bomb. If you defend and patrol you lose as it is highly unlikely that in 10 attempts at least one of the attacks is not successful. Or you may decoy a more tempting target and perform search and destroy to ferret out the attackers. Each take out reducing the attackers chance of success.

They also take on the Raddled old Drunk.

Glenn on Darfur: "Time for more from Arabs than vacuous statements."

Chuck Simmins points out that the war is not Bush's to lose, it's mine. (What does it profit a Democrat if he wins the election and loses his country?)

Connect those dots...

Meanwhile, back at the Hot-Air Capital of California, the lege, who Really REALLY need to be part-time, has again put up a bill (defeated in committee two weeks ago!) to make it illegal for parents to smoke in the car. Yeah, I know about second-hand smoke, but it's not the gummint's job to make us sinless people. They can't do a budget, but they're happy to be Nannys! The seat-belt law was the camel's nose in the tent, I guess.
