Work has been busy, and life at home has been a higher priority than blogging, now that I’m a M-F commuter. (Maybe I ought to start analog blogging journaling during my train ride!)

This Goodyear fellow lobbied for the Burmese military (those kind folks who won’t let aid workers into their country), and McCain selected him to run the Republican national convention. Isikoff would’ve been better served by replacing “could fuel perceptions” with “could cause people to notice.”
