A note to Squiggler readers ...
For the next couple of days, my blogging will most likely be light or nonexistent. We are moving, starting tonight, and I have a gazillion things to take care of that will keep me away from the computer.
In the meantime, why not take the time to scroll through some of our past posts.
I'll try to catch up on the news as time permits.
Have a good day. Thanks for stopping by. Please come back.

And this for your reading pleasure:

"We listened patiently and attentively to the people in the Bush Administration -- I mean as patiently as one can to these fools," said Keller. "But it's time we took the reins of power."
"Forgive me, I know this is pretty elementary stuff — but it's the kind of elementary context that sometimes gets lost on morons who don't work for the New York Times, especially the knuckledraggers and mouth breathers who vote for Republicans," said Keller. "And while we hesitate to preempt the role of legislators and courts, and ultimately the electorate, we just feel ... well, that we're smarter."
"What he said," said new shadow Secretary of Defense Paul Krugman. ... Continued here
