Internet restored last night — I haven’t had home access since Hurricane Ike, though it seems the Masters of the Universe have kept themselves busy in the meantime. Before I jump back in though, please note that I get a one-week grace period on saying something ignorant or already-exhaustively-blogged-about. In a slower news period, I’ll explain what life without Internet access is like. But first, the bailout. Post to come later tonight — and grace period lenity applies.
Oh yeah, and this:
Welcome back to the land of the living, publius. Glad to see you've survived all the hurricane muck and now have the internet once again re-introduced into your life.

I want to see something similar, but with Putin's head photoshopped onto the top portion of Cthulu's head (tentacles below the nose), and have that Puthulu leering over Alaska.

Also, I hope you enjoy this fleeting period of tranquility and prosperity. Soon the great market crash of twenty aught-eight will take hold across the nation and across the world, leaving us utterly vulnerable to our impending doom.

Welcome back to the 21st century, and I hope and assume you and yours are OK, or at least recovering well. Now that you are back, of course, it is incumbent on you to fix everything.

Welcome back, Publius. Would still be interested in your hurricane experiences, when you have time to blog them.

Being out of touch for any week can make you feel like Rip van Winkle, but this past week has really been doozy.
Good to hear from you!

Hey, Publius, welcome back tothe land of the living.
Since this is more or less an open thread I'll post this notice to any one who is interested:
Emily is at the vet. It doesn't look good. She has had nine grand mal seizures in the last twenty four hours. The vet tec told me to pray for her.
So...I guess if you believe in prayer, please do. I don't so I'm justhopinng.

Am I the only one who thinks the picture looks like Rudy Giuliani?
