Roundup!

Over the past two weeks I have driven thousands of miles, attended two bachelor’s parties, witnessed two weddings, and gained six pounds.  I’ve been only periodically in touch with the inter-tubes during the time, so please forgive the paucity of blogging.  Home by Wednesday night, with luck. Some random stuff I don’t have time to blog about:

• WTF Kucinich!? Hope that this has been manufactured by Syrian state media.
• Not surprised by the claim that lawyers are being over-produced, but uncertain of the methodology used in this report.  Bar passage rate seems the wrong metric.
• Note to Jim Webb: Please stop sounding stupid.
• Very interesting on the enduring effects of Vietnam draft lottery numbers…
• There are limits to the utility of comparing the Soviet and Chinese navies.
• Nuthin’ good about the idea of loose Pakistani nukes.
• Conservative silliness on civil-military relations.

Don’t be surprised by a couple more posts of this nature while I clear out the Google Reader backlog.
