I'm Just Saying, Is All: Check-up time. I've noticed that this supposedly political blog has recently taken to any subject at the expense of the policy discussion and media analysis that thousands of devoted readers have come to rely on. And I've noticed, too, the candidates the two major parties have thrown up for this year's presidential race. Coincidence? I'll likely watch the debate on Thusrday, after which I'll be reading the drunkblogging of it here (Note well, Steve, that Flyer thinks he has your ass on drunkblogging; he'll expect a real live, down-home, upended-moonshine-jar kind of session to get back in his good graces.) And then, chances are, I'll check out of this race until roughly 10:00 pm, November 2nd. A man's got to know his limitations.
