Hey, Marion -

You just answered my question……was wondering if everyone got knocked off the FDL logged in grid last night and since it happened to both of us, assume answer is “yes”.

Good morning, pups. It’s Collins, Blow and Herbert this morning. In “The Eye of the Beholder” Ms. Collins says in New Jersey’s gubernatorial race, a candidate’s weight is now an issue. As Americans get fatter, who will be qualified to run for office? That won’t be a problem here in Savannah — our former mayor was separated at birth from Jabba the Hut. Mr. Blow, in “No More Suffering in Silence,” says we must do a better job of helping children who are sexually assaulted realize they are not alone, not at fault and not powerless. In “Igniting the Growth of Jobs” Mr. Herbert says the government must develop creative approaches and make the investments necessary to start putting people back to work.

Here they are.

The coffee and tea are ready, and I’ve got French toast with warm maple syrup this morning. They must have been working on the servers last night, because I was logged off this morning. (Which would also explain the very few comments.) I guess they’re back up and running? Hope so… Have a good day.

The letter with the big gold seal?
We started the morning with people asking if the Nobel announcement was a Onion prank, and ended it with the head of the RNC pretending to be on RomperRoom.

I have to head in to work today. I started a new job this week and I’m too far behind to enjoy a weekend. So, I’m going to miss PUAC (sigh).

Good piece, Knoxville! I like to hear Andrew Sullivan’s take on things, but sometimes he just falls ‘way off the mark. IMHO, he aspires to be an intelligent Conservative voice (and no, that’s not an oxymoron), but his arguments just fall short, sometimes.

When he’s been on, say, Kurtz’s Roundtable or elsewhere, Sullivan seems like he’s just grazing in the field of conservative thought, not digging in and pulling out his points by the roots. Not sure if he’s ever done Charlie Rose. May not have liked what Buckley might opine in his regal way, but he landed his points well; he delivered something cogent to argue against.
