business end
"What Susan Milligan and her Globe researchers do in this report that is so helpful is actually collate data on procedures like closed rules, floor debate time, and conference committee riders and offer the appropriate comparisons to congressional practice in the past. Their findings should finally put to rest the claim that Democrats were just as ruthless when they were in charge and are now just whining out of sour grapes. What's going on now really is unprecedented (or it's at least without precedent since the days of "Czar Joe" Cannon, Speaker of the House in the early 1900s)."

guarding the line
quite a week for mr moulitsas. first fluff then kerfuffle, now a byline in the guardian. the road to flame wars and fortune hunters is paved with blogs.
sail or moon
well, my friend who once claimed he was the worlds second best driver has driven his family off a cliff, figuratively speaking. actually it was his soon to be ex-wife that cut the brakeline. had he been buckled in im sure everything would be fine, but he had to go think his marriage was indestructable and got reckless. sorry mostly for the kids, theyre the ones that will suffer the worst of the whiplash. those headrests dont give much support.
but theres a happy ending to this brief tale, at least for me. in exchange for the wife and two kids, my friend has put a down payment on a 46' sailboat to be moored in saint johns. so it wont be long now before i have harrowing tales of the coast guard fishing us out of the drink (im so nautical) somewhere between virgin gorda and dominica. my timbers are already ashiver.
