in the wake of such a week, losing new orleans and rehnquist in one go, i am utterly at a loss for words. i don't have anyone close in new orleans, i've never been there and don't have any personal feelings for the place, just the disappointment that i'm never going to see it. so i haven't posted much lately. what do i really have to say?
