A Moment of Silence

This blog will be taking the rest of the day off in honor of President Bush's colonoscopy. As a "survivor" of said procedure, I can attest that the pres won't be doing much news-making himself today. And it looks like no one else is picking up the slack. Besides, the usual offering of silly stories was woefully weak this morning. Guess everybody's staying home to read the new Harry Potter book. Hope they all enjoy it.
