It occurs to me that I never posted an update on my grandmother’s situation. Turns out the mass is caused by the thinning of her stomach muscles. Or something like that. The important thing is, it’s not a malignant cancerous tumor. And for that I am so grateful.

From here on out, I decree that Mallard Fillmore be referred to as “The Daily Strawman,” for its insipid and indefensible reliance on logical fallacies to make its points. Man, I hate that cartoon.

I’ve been steaming over NRO columnist John Derbyshire’s recent (now infamous) comments regarding women’s sexual attractiveness peaking at 20, but I haven’t much had the time to sit down and hash out a response that hasn’t already been offered by quicker, more insightful writers than I.

We did pretty well at trivia last night. I think we placed in the top six or so, which is not bad for a team of three people. My finest (i.e. only) moments? Supplying the answers to A) Which two presidents have double letters in both their first and last names? and B) Which teen actor was the youngest ever to join the cast of SNL?
