	<description>Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a litttle salty on some of the sites to which this blog links. So, don't say you weren't warned. By the way, this blog's name is inspired by the Will Rogers quote, "All politics is applesauce."</description>

Patrick- as you correctly surmised, my euphemistic "personal and family matters" was something else, namely a vacation. Pope Benedict says Hi, by the way.
