Or, rather, for a few moments -- I'm going to be out of town and unable to update doublethink for a few days -- so if you're starved for biting liberal commentary on the latest news, make sure to check any or all of the wonderful sites I have listed on the left side of the page.
In the meantime, here are the tantalizing headlines that caught my attention this morning -- and which I would have loved to blog, were I not in such a hurry to subject myself to yet another search at the hands of overzealous security people protecting harmless citizens like myself at one of the nation's finest airports. (Did I ever mention, I hate going to the airport?)
Enjoy! (Well, maybe that's not the right word...)
