Sometimes, wanting to write just isn’t good enough.
Sometimes, you just want to read what other people are saying. Given the news, and given the weather hereabouts (heavy rain, which always puts me in a mood for a nap) today is one of those days.
So I’ve been reading rather than writing today. Here are some good reads today:
Michele has a reminder.
The other Michelle (the Malkin one) is hot on the trail of Homeland Insecurity.
Doc Russia sees through Kerry’s “warrior” act.
Serenity appears to have learned a few things from her move to Dallas.
Spoons notes two “September 10” (a.k.a. “head-in-the-sand“) thinkers of the day.
Steve (my new favorite author) notes that in defending ourselves, we can choose between racial profiling, or letting ourselves get killed in the name of Political Correctness.
The Homeland Security business is certainly big today. Jeff at protein wisdom is on the case, too.
And of course, the news of the day: a narrowly-tailored Orange Alert.
Update: Duane notes in the comments here and on his site that there’s still a missing tanker truck.
Update 2: Mamamontezz has kind words to the troops wondering about Michael Moore’s latest pack of lies.

Is it just me, or does the whole Kerry “hamster CPR” episode have a Nixonian “Checkers speech” feel to it?
I didn’t actually see/hear Alexandra Kerry telling the hamster CPR story, but it strikes me as one of those things politicians do (or that they have done on their behalf) in an attempt to humanize themselves.
Here’s a hint for Kerry: don’t act human; don’t send the kid out to tell us you’re human; just be human.
George W. Bush doesn’t need that sort of story told about him — we know he’s genuine.
