by folkbumI'm not following the Democratic primary all that closely, because, frankly, I think I will be happy to support any of the top three or five candidates as they stand right now. There are things I like more or less about each candidate, but on balance, they are people I can get behind and who, I think, are eminently electable.The Republican primary, on the other hand--now that's where

Now that I have all the widgets--as they call 'em for the "new" Blogger--set up with all the data (blogrolls, scripts, whatnot), it hit me that I can't transfer the contents of the widgets!So here it is, what the new blog will look like. But actually making the transition at the real place will be a bit of a bear.Grr.But I really like the label cloud. Just wait 'til that hits the real blog!

Because not only am I featured in Wiggy's column (where I co-star with Cindy Sheehan, of all people), it turns out that I also transport autos around Europe:One of the most unusual and highly specialised fleets in the UK has taken delivery of four new Euro 5 compliant Volvo FH-440 4x2 tractor units - part of a total order for six. CARS, the initials stand for Classic Automotive Relocation

by folkbum (UPDATED below)I'd like to see Patrick McIlheran spin his way out of this:An unclassified summary of outed CIA officer Valerie Plame's employment history at the spy agency, disclosed for the first time today in a court filing by Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald, indicates that Plame was "covert" when her name became public in July 2003.

So I've been at this four years, today. Woo.I'm in one of my periodic what's-the-point-of-blogging slumps, which is a big part of why this space has been quiet for a few days.
