Not the Giants defense, that's for damn sure. There my craw overflows.

• Wow: the Obama Administration is actually making good on part of that whole transparency-and-accountability thing.
• The successor to SpaceShipOne is finally ready. Space tourism grows ever nearer.
• Houston TX is now the largest city to elect an openly gay mayor, thanks to Annise Parker's victory Saturday night...and despite the vicious campaign.
• It's always cool to see another little corner of Jeffersonian history uncovered.

Thin week this time, I know. I've been trying to toss off the warm-but-stifling blankets of my own reticence and work up a Big Damn Post; perhaps tomorrow. It's only a day away.
