More blogging later...

...but I'm off this morning to do my duty as a Kerry delegate at my Legislative District caucus, where we select delegates to go on to the Congressional District caucus and State Convention. I'll be putting my hat in the ring - wish me luck.

We also draft a local platform, and this being the Democratic Party and all, who know's when I'll get back to the 'puter. I'll have a report, though, on the events, and some other stuff to post later.

While you're waiting, check out a couple 'can't miss' pieces from the last few days that you might have missed. Bob Herbert was on point in the NY Times, writing a piece that wrapped up with "The sad truth about Iraq is that one year after President Bush gaudily proclaimed victory with his "Top Gun" moment aboard the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln, we don't know what we're doing in Iraq. We don't know where we're heading. We don't know how many troops it will take to get us there. And we don't know how to get out.

Salon has one of the best overviews of the Rumsfeld DOD I've seen anywhere, with lots of Generals wondering aloud just what in the world Rummy is doing to our military. It's worth sitting through the 'day pass' ad for, and yet another excellent reason to get a subcription.

See ya in a bit...
