Don’t think it’s lost on us that you are the same people who were saying that a vote against debt ceiling increases would be a vote for Obama, and that to hold the line against further increases marked us as naive and unnuanced (right before the credit downgrade you pretended your capitulations would prevent); the same people who called us Hobbits for demanding the GOP stay good to its word

My son is listless and has a stomach ache this morning, and his temperature is registering about a degree and a half low. He says he’s shaking, but “on the inside.” I’ve let him go back to bed and I want to keep a close monitor on him. So for now, feel free to entertain yourselves in a manner you see fit.

Same old story, same old story, same old song and dance, my friend.

I know what you’re all thinking: The headline-as-performative for both the tenuousness of liberty and the natural desire of a power-hungry central authority to use any and every instrumentality of government to expand its size, reach, and control, that one is.

I’ll update with information on funeral, etc., as I find out more.

A couple interesting comments from “an erstwhile reader,” Rachel, who in an earlier thread expresses her concern over my support for Bachmann and Santorum, the gist being that my site has evolved from a classical liberal venue to one in which I and many of the regulars here are somehow something else these days. She writes in her second comment: Jeff, thanks for the well-reasoned reply. From what I’ve read

Just popping back in real quick to note that Satch placed 4th in the district tournament today and will go on to the regionals in two weeks. He’d like to thank you all for the birthday wishes — though admittedly he thought it kind of strange that so many people he doesn’t know are interested in his birthday. Next up for us is a pizza and Nerf Gun party this
