There's a reason James Joyner of Outside the Beltway is at the top of my RSS reader. Go read him and find out why.
And for those who have been wondering when I'll post again (both of you) and/or why I haven't posted much lately, it's a combination of Real Life™ and trying to keep up on reading blogs. There are so many compelling blogs that help me understand what's going on. James's just happens to be the best of them.
Update: And it has nothing to do with my Scotch consumption this evening.
