Since I'll probably be at the hospital with Mary Ellen all day today, I put this up using auto-post so you'd have somewhere to write if you were so moved. Anything on your mind today?

And good riddance to the skeletal, scary Michael Chertoff. You can read about Napolitano's pertinent skills at emptywheel.
