The good is I've been very busy at work. Employment is a good thing. The bad is that the blog has suffered as a result.
Let me catch up on some urgent business concerning two other fine blogs.
First, Arthur Silber's been publishing the finest, most well reasoned anti-war arguments extant. He is, understandably, upset that his arguments are roundly ignored by the blogosphere. You can easily burn an hour or two reading his blog, and if you support the war you might want to challenge him via his comments feature. I'll guarantee you'll learn something there.
Secondly, Andy might agree with me when I say employment is good thing. Feel free to hit the tip jar at each of those exemplary blogs.
