My beloved has mentioned me in her blog, which will bring scores of new readers here, all of whom will no doubt wonder why I haven't posted since April.

The answer is simple: my last entry, a reply to our friend Mrs. Chili, was such a thing of beauty that I supposed I should retire while I was ahead. Matter of fact, I re-read it just now, and I wonder if I can submit myself to the Nobel committee. Anyone know? Bueller?

Thank you all for coming. Now that you're all here, please don't forget to support Ron Paul! Speaking of, here is some footage of Mrs. Chili's beautiful, if somewhat snowy, Seacoast region. Courtesy of the very silly Ridley Report:

Thanks for coming by; let's not wait another eight months, y'hear?
