Good Morning! Closing out the week guest blogging, it is once again me, Alex that is, leaving the familiar confines of Martini Revolution. Thanks to Mike for asking me to fill in, and especially thanks to all the readers who dropped kind notes in comments and email.

Breaking later yesterday were uncharitable, if accurate, comments by General Richard Sanchez regarding the administration's war plan, if I may call it such, which the general referred to as a nightmare. Naturally, all the wingnut hypocrites who defecated their drawers and cried foul about MoveOn's Petraeus ad promptly slimed the general who spoke unpleasant truths their wee little minds didn't want to hear.
