Time for the monthly update

Actually, it's not that I have lost interest in political news, it's just that I have surrendered to the fact that the people who do this all the time get the stories faster and tend to write better commentary than me, as well. So I've been busy reading Jesus' General, Eschaton, and Shakespeare's Sister, just to name a few. I suggest you go add them to your regular reading as well, if you aren't doing so already.
