If I don't die by Thursday, I'll be roaring Friday night.

I’m finally back on-line and catching up on the news (the reading kind – not the 30 second sound bites that pass for news on the US cable TV “news” channels.) Not much has really changed in the last couple of weeks, has it? The Bush administration still seems to be foundering, seeking a foreign policy that isn’t going to eventually end up mimicking his daddy’s slippery slope after the “read my lips - ooops” kind of back peddling that’s going to happen when he is forced to "get out of Dodge.” Political reality looks more and more like ‘reality TV’ every day.

I think I’ll pick just a couple of stories to follow over the weekend and see what happens.
