Home today suffering from a vicious stomach virus - thanks for this almost certainly goes to Church's Chicken, which is where I had dinner - but am trying to be productive anyway.
David Corn over at MoJo's has a succinct and poignant piece on the Obama decision to send "more troops" to Af"morass"istan.

The Obama Surge

Sigh. I support my prez here, no doubt about it, but Lordy, I sure hope he knows what he's doing on this one because I can't for the life of me see how we're going to succeed where everyone else, throughout all of history, has failed. This decision is almost certain to go over like a lead balloon with most of us who voted for him....
