Back in the saddle

...to quote Orcinus. Been away a while. I'm back.

In other news, Laura Bush says, in speaking candidly about her husband's Thanksgiving trip:

"I think it was really one of the best-kept secrets ever," she said. "It had to be a really good secret because the security was so tight and because the president didn't want to jeopardize the lives of anyone to be able to do this." (emphasis added)

Isn't it rather too late for that now?
