The Laughing Wolf

Some Quick Thoughts

Today is rapidly being eaten by errands, follow-ups, and more.

The BBC is up to its usual, check out Andrew and Glenn for more on the usual madness. Andrew also notes a good thing at the NYT with the start of an independent ombudsman.

This post over at MTPolitics has brought to mind the joy, and the loss, of my own four legged friend/family member many years ago. Charles Shultz had it right with Snoopy on the personality of beagles. Go read some touching and good stories that are up on Digger.

I really should do a new op-ed on the TSA follies and hook it to the assinine decision to reduce the number of Sky Marshalls. If I get the time today, I will do a post on how the number of armed security forces could be exponentially increased without a great deal of extra funds, an idea that I and others submitted to the government right after 9-11 to have it rebuffed. It would work, be efficient, and was logical. What were we thinking...

More to come, someday when I get rid of the ducks that are nibbling my writing time to death...
