No political blogging today, nor, likely, will political blogging ensue Sunday morning. My daughter and I are spending this Christmas weekend out of town with a remarkably poor Internet connection but an absolutely superb lady. Yep, you got it. I have rediscovered love -- big time, as Mr. Cheney would say. Never thought this would happen. Never. But it has. And I am floating, I am utterly vertiginous, dear reader. Enjoy your holiday weekend. 

Very best

Sunday "p.m." postscript: Many thanks for your kind words and shared joy. It's Sunday night; me lady is now here at my home, wreck that it is (she was less appalled than I expected, or at least she kindly feigned "Oh it's not so bad" — I should have known, consummate lady that she is). Tomorrow morning she returns to her home some miles away — a sad but only temporary parting — at which point I'll return to meditating on all things politically grisly, always a delight. See you, then, sometime Monday a.m. And thank you again.
