Last week was awful. If one were dis­posed to such abuses of lan­guage, one might assert that it sucked. One would be right. Slightly more than half of my dead­lines are now in the past (and met!). I think I only have six or seven huge projects or assign­ments on my plate now. It’s like a vaca­tion. I have, lit­er­ally, whole min­utes of free time now. So luxurious.

Any­who.

I missed a lot this week.

Happy Birth­day, Atlas Shrugged among them.

And Acad­emy Award Win­ner Al Gore is now Acad­emy Award Win­ning Nobel Lau­re­ate Al Gore. He should go for knight­hood, next. Except his mag­num pro­pa­gan­dum got totally bitch-​​slapped by the Hon. Mr. Jus­tice Bur­ton of Her Majesty’s High Court of Jus­tice, Queen’s Bench Divi­sion. [HT: Galileo Blogs] So he oughtn’t be expect­ing boons from QE2 any time in the fore­see­able future.

I have a bunch of half-​​digested posts sit­ting in the queue which I should be able to squeeze out later this week.

[I just read that last line, and I apol­o­gize for it. It was entirely tasteless.]
