In a couple of weeks, I’m going to roll over 1500 posts on this blog since about the time the war started in 2003. Are you guys going to throw me a party? Wait, I don’t want to know. Let it be a surprise!

Speaking of the war, I’m aware that I didn’t mention it in my cursory assessment of the SOTU speech. I didn’t forget, I’m just leaving it to the bloggers more qualified to untangle that twisted morass. I keep getting the earbuds of my iPod in a knot. A man’s gotta know his limitations.
