Lily went to the U.S. Open today with our son, so I took the girl to the American Air Power Museum. She had fun and I took some good pictures. I’ve just made this one my desktop image. It came out much better that I thought it would. The P-51 Glamorous Gal was not able […]

NRO got it right. Inexperience. Palin has been governor for about two minutes. Thanks to McCain’s decision, Palin could be commander-in-chief next year.
