SORRY FOR THE LIMITED BLOGGING: The Insta-Dad had aneurysm-repair surgery today. I just left him napping at the hospital, where he’s doing fine, while I drop into my office. (It wasn’t a near-death experience or anything, it’s been scheduled for a while, but it was a bit more involved than they planned).

I’ll try to be back for the debates, if possible, and maybe even sooner. But if I’m not, Ann Althouse and Stephen Green will be liveblogging as usual. And there’s lots of interesting stuff at The Volokh Conspiracy, so check them out. Plus, what I’ve called a “media Enron” before is starting to look a bit more that way. Back later.
