I’m off to the beach

Rehoboth Beach, Delaware that is. I’ll be gone for a week and probably won’t blog during that time. I’ll consume just enough news to be able (I hope) to produce a Daily Standard column when I return.
For my parting shot, I’ll post this piece from Democracy Project about the unfortunate and potentially tragic Israeli pull-out from Gaza.
On a more optimistic note, the Washington Times cites a study by some liberal think tank showing that liberal bloggers remain well behind their conservative adversaries. I’m counting on John and Scott to increase the gap while I’m away.
