I’m sorry I’m so delinquent posting today. I spent an hour and a half on the phone with a reporter from Stars and Stripes doing an information dump on the subject of the IVAW. I don’t have high expectations for the resulting article, but I take a measure of comfort in the fact that at least he asked me about them.

While I get back to the business of blogging, here’s some interesting links I ran across while catching up;

My mentor, drinking buddy and pal Matt Burden (otherwise known as Blackfive) has announced what some of us have known for a week or so; he’s running for Illinois State Representative.
