My niece Hannah is guest blogging today, with a story she wrote for school:

THE GIRL DOG
By HANNAH

The dog takes a walk.
The girl dog sees a boy dog.
The girl dog said, "Could you be my boyfriend"?

The End

Mystery, romance, dogs. It's got it all. Ok, she's six...

Thanks Hannah. Your Uncle Kaf loves ya!

 
For anyone foolish enough to stumble in here while my blog-consciousness is still (mostly) in remission, I recommend the following (anything to move you along):

Mac Diva is presently giving instruction on bad blogging. Thanks Diva, but I've taken the master class.

Scoobie Davis is enjoying Bill Bennett's karmic petard. Trust me, it's not the usual slap at the Boy of Virtue.

John Scalzi is putting the universe in the palm of your hand. You'd like owning the universe, wouldn't you? Then buy it!

Atrios has been excerpting Blumenthal's The Clinton Wars. Go there and scroll down (or check the archive for the past week). And you might as well buy that one, too.

Finally, both Ted Barlow and Salam Pax have returned to blogging after a brief hiatus. Did you know they've never been seen in the same room together. Yeah, spooky.
