OVERNIGHT LINKS — well, just one, really. I’m heading out to the Left Coast for some time to come, so blogging will be a bit more sporadic and light. For today . . . ITEM: Debra Saunders takes a look at Pelosi’s Tortured Explanation: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had been pushing for a “truth commission” […]
My laptop is threatening to die, or at least be reduced to seriously degraded performance. I’ve been having problems with it for months, and I think it may be on the way out. One way or the other, I’ll see you in a day or two, once I’ve either got this one fixed up or […]
