Sorry I haven't been here in a while. No excuses, just, well....stuff. And I'm only floating in to offer one of my favorite responses to Sarah Palin's address at the RNC last night. This from Andrew Coyne at Macleans, who as Real Clear Politics points out, is no conservative mouthpiece:

Her critics in the media and in the opposition may regret having piled on quite so enthusiastically, and with so little heed for who they hurt -- or angered. Watching the tumultuous, ecstatic reaction in the hall, I was reminded of the famous words of the Admiral Yamamoto after Pearl Harbour: "I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant, and fill him with a terrible resolve."

All of a sudden, we have an election, not a coronation.

Quote du jour:

“It's passionately interesting for me that the things that I learned in a small town, in a very modest home, are just the things that I believe have won the election.”

Margaret Thatcher (1925 - ____) English political leader
