Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
I got nothing, and the news coverage is dominated by the shootings in Ft. Hood, and I don’t have anything to add to the speculation there.
I will say this, though- the speed with which Lily picks up anything even remotely edible and begins to chomp on it while I am walking her is frightening, and would lead a casual observer to think she had never been fed once in her life. I’m beginning to understand the term “trashhound.”
Your weekly soul- and tummy-warmer, thank you Bad Horse’s Filly:

On the board tonight:

Terrible stuff in Ft. Hood today.
I have to admit that I don’t have a very strong opinion about Afghanistan. I don’t understand the situation at all, I understand that, unlike Iraq, there may have been good reasons to go in, and I also understand that those reasons may or may not have anything to do with whether or not the United States should stay there and that staying there costs a lot of money and demands a huge sacrifice from our servicemen.
In any case, I was impressed with this speech about why we should get out, from my Congressman, Eric Massa:
Comrade Luke, Paris.
Shawn, Stockholm Harbor.

I really wish Steve Gilliard were here today, because only he could do full justice to both Bloomberg’s victory and Corzine’s failure. And while Mr. Gilliard was, IIRC, no fan of Mayor Bloomberg, he would certainly have had some useful if excoriating advice for those goo-goos who are now shocked, shocked that a rich person could be rewarded by New York City voters for a blatant attempt to buy his way into keeping office.
Also (ergo?), Fuck The Fucking Yankees…
