Welcome back Blogger...

YOU ARE VISITING THE OLD MALKIN(S)WATCH. THAT'S FANTASTIC. PLEASE VISIT THE NEW MALKIN(S)WATCH WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE.

Just in time for me to go on a short (probably not more than two days) hiatus - family matters.

But first, a couple loose ends:

Reader Ryan F. notes that Malkin's latest column is available on GOPUSA. WorldNetDaily just a bit too reputable for you, eh, Michelle?

And speaking of classy organizations, let's have a hand for the United Auto Workers (emphasis mine):

[T]he director of security at the UAW told them that while they support the troops, Marines driving foreign vehicles or sporting a President George Bush bumper sticker were no longer welcome to park there...

"While reservists certainly have the right to drive non-union made vehicles and display bumper stickers touting the most anti-worker, anti-union president since the 1920s, that doesn’t mean they have the right to park in a lot owned by members of the UAW."

Real classy.

I couldn't agree more.
