Yeah, I'm around...

...but blogging will probably be a bit light again today, in no small part because of the demands of activities more, ahem, renumerative (as always, you could relieve some of that stress right here) and a desire to block off some time to dig through Matt Bai's epic 'whither the Party' piece in the New York Times Magazine, about which I will doubtless opine before the close of business.

I'll be in and out today, though, and invite you to do the same. Hey, it seems a little slow throughout the lefty blogosphere as we all tune up for the impending festivities. I'll do my bit to keep things going as best I can.
