I am thrilled to announce that DRJ will soon resume blogging here, probably beginning tomorrow. She will likely be contributing no more than 1-2 posts per day, typically relating to breaking news stories of interest.

Her return is fortunately timed, because my job duties in the near future will likely slow down my blogging pace. (You may already have noticed this over the past couple of weeks.) I have been very pleased that Karl has continued to post here along with his new Hot Air gig, and that Jack Dunphy has been able to submit more politically themed posts. With the return of DRJ, I am confident that this will remain an interesting place to visit despite my busy periods at work.

Please join me in welcoming back DRJ.

And Obama grins. Yuk, yuk, yuk:

Paging David Neiwert! Paging David Neiwert! Does this count as “eliminationist” rhetoric?

Of course not! Because, you see, it’s impossible for leftists to engage in such rhetoric.

Sykes also jokes that maybe Limbaugh was the 20th hijacker on 9/11 . . . but was just so strung out on Oxycontin that he missed the flight.

Yuk, yuk, yuk.

Keep grinning, Barry! He looks almost as pleased as when he was shaking the hand of Hugo Chavez . . .

Give your mother a hug if you can, and a phone call if you’re unable to give her that hug.

Here’s my sister’s post, complete with a picture of Mom with my nephew.

Enjoy the day.
