    McChrystal: When Does Goofing Off Become Military Rule?

    Here’s the Rolling Stone on McChrystal and his staff. I’m glad the “clown” was Jim Jones, and not Obama, which can be significant in light of recent tea party characterizations of Obama.

    Muse: Brothers, Skunks, BP Oil

    Muse, musings, musing.  One of those:

    WHAT?

    Big sisters are always toast.  Earlier this week I realized a woman was giving me the “OMG, I can’t believe it!” look.  I wondered if I had spilled on my shirt… and then I heard it.  I thought it must be my daughter, Hannah.  Wow.

    The elevator doors opened, the woman walked [...]
