Happy New Year

DB is back from a small vacation in Utah. Not sure which encounter was worse, the stomach bug on Day One or Ollie North at the ski resort. Probably the stomach bug, but it's close. Nothing will ever beat seeing Bill Bennett at the airport in 2002.

Looks like the blog-o-sphere has been riding high with three themes since DB left town:

• Bush broke the law and didn't have to (and what is he hiding?)
  
• Bush supporters are cowards who would throw away their rights to survive the threat of some cave dwellars
  
• The Neternit™ is here to stay... so reporters should start linking and quit bitching.
  

DB says YES to all three (and hooray for our side).

So here's to '06. Love that painting up top, Mark Bryan
