This is a couple of days old, but I wanted to share anyway: was reading in the NYT that some high-level conservatives have started trying to manufacture a meme that Alberto Gonzales would not make a good SCOTUS justice because his views would deepen fractures within the party. "Aha," I thought, "His abominable take on torture, now highly exposed, is winning him few friends." And then I kept reading, and nope, nope: the issue was that he might possibly not be anti-abortion.

I wished the morning Cumberland Farms lady a happy 4th as I bought my coffee and she smiled sunnily. I love her, she's my favorite.

OTOH I think she put raspberry into the hazelnut pot this morning. yuch.
