BUSH AND THE FILIBUSTER

My thoughts about the risks – and upsides – of the looming clash.

CHILL, GUYS: Pejman and Althouse need to get a grip. Have bloggers become that touchy? I thought David Greenberg (disclosure: an old friend) got a lot about blogging dead-on. It’s harder to do well than it looks; and you need a skin as thick as a dinosaur’s. Or mine.

QUOTE OF THE DAY: “Now we are forced to do something that societies often do when people can’t control their desires. We have to pass laws to stop their desires.” – Rick Santorum, in a quote that basically sums up his position on most topics. (This time it was about the filibuster.)

CPAP UPDATE: In the last installment in my apnea-drama, I complained about facial imprints and bruises from the attachment to the mask. Well, it turns out I had the straps on inside out. I’m not that big a dope. The guy who trained me in its use – he was sent by the CPAP company – put the straps on the wrong way round; and it wasn’t till I was washing the mask Saturday night that it occurred to me to reverse them. Now there’s barely a mark. I should withdraw my gripe.
