A BRIEF PERSONAL NOTE: Sorry for scaring people a week ago, with a medical emergency.  No, we’re still not absolutely sure what caused it, but we’re accumulating an impressive list of ways in which I am perfectly healthy.  Not all test results are back, but at this point there’s no reason to be worried.  After taking it easy for a week, I hope to be more regular here in the evenings. Thank you to everyone who sent good wishes.

BEST THING ABOUT A REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT USED TO BE THAT THE MEDIA REMEMBERED TO DO THEIR JOB: Now I think they’ll just go crazier. Requiem for a Narrative.  Instead of the endless summer of recovery, we’ll have the endless winter of the media’s discontent.  And they don’t even realize that in the end, it’s their credibility they’re burying.
