First the good news...

Things do stack up on a day off from the blog. Among the brighter notes since my last post, Louisiana went and elected itself a Democratic Governor. A big cheer from way up here to way down there!

Some have observed that Gov Elect Kathleen Blanco is nearly as conservative as her Republican opponent in some ways, but for right now, she's my kind of Democrat - the kind that gets elected.

We needed one, and we got it.
