Staccato nature of today's blogging due to Friday fatigue. More thoughtful stuff later, after I take a chunk out of the mountain of grading I have to do this weekend (finishing grading papers on Everson and Zobrest and on the disputes over the 1798 Sedition Act, as well as my first American Government exams). Plus, the weather was beautiful today but should turn pretty crappy tomorrow, so I'll be indoors for the next few days, turning pale. . .
