Monday/Tuesday open thread (UPDATED)
Hey y’all – I’m feeling a lot under the weather tonight and so far, the chicken soup and the Dayquil aren’t really helping. Maybe a good night’s sleep will.
Profoundly inane quote of the day
Liberal Matthew Yglesias, on the various stories hitting the MSM about how Obama doesn’t appear to be making a whole lot of time for his generals on the issue of Afghanistan strategy (via Mark Hemingway):
Has General Petraeus taken a back seat in the Obama war room?
The NYT has published a disturbing report about how the WH is wary of General David Petraeus’ recommendations on war strategy in both Afghanistan and Iraq because they believe he may have presidential ambitions (via ST reader Leslie):
The things people say
I was recently in a local Ulta make-up store looking for this absolutely wonderful concealer by Benefit Cosmetics that will hide just about anything, and was talking to one of the female employees who was working the floor making sure people could find what they were looking for. I found most of the items I came in there to purchase, but not the concealer. They had the line of make-up I was looking for, but the particular item in question was not to be found. I asked her about it, and she said the store only carried the “top 20” for that line of make-up, so I ended up getting one of their top 20 concealers.
Happy 6th Blogiversary, ST blog!
Can you believe I forgot my own anniversary? 😮
