I’ll be out of the loop until late this evening, at the earliest. Meanwhile, feel free to comment here on whatever is on your mind.
You might want to guess how the Supreme Court is going to rule on the handgun ban in Washington, D.C. A decision is expected tomorrow.
I expect that the ban will be overturned, but I think the justices will issue varying opinions on the matter instead of a sweeping decision that establishes Second Amendment rights as broad as the gun lobby would prefer.
Anyway, feel free to discuss anything (within bounds of decency, of course.)

He’s Baaack!
Patrick- as you correctly surmised, my euphemistic “personal and family matters” was something else, namely a vacation. Pope Benedict says Hi, by the way.
I’ll be back to my normal snarky self as soon as the jet lag wears off and your vacation from me will then be over.

Did you have a personal audience with the pope? Did you tell him about your hanging around this near-occasion-of-sin known as Applesauce? Did he respond by performing an exorcism?

I did receive an extended blessing when he was informed of the referenced associations.

Pat - I’m surprised no posts about the North Korea developments. After US lead negotiations, North Korea is finally cooperating and W took them of the terrorist list. Now if W and Cheney would try that with Iran…..

Sorry, not ‘lead’, ‘led’.

Yeah, Henry, I’ve been meaning to get around to that. Sounds like appeasement to me. Just joking.
