When you lie motionless in Room 310 at the Subacute Center of Bristol, your body stricken with ALS, [...]
The Yankee Institute, which loves to stick it to government for wasteful spending, is out with a new report that takes a close look at the tax implications of dog ownership. The Yankee folks, who apparently have some time on their hands, conclude that "a dog's life in Connecticut'" [...]

Wow. You take a few days away from blogging to focus on the job that pays and look what you miss:
1. Hearst’s drooling front page love fest on Linda McMahon
(see “McMahon’s wealth dwarfs resources of most GOP foes”).
