Guys, I'm going to take a break for a while.
Basically, I am very busy at home, and in order to catch up, I need to go cold turkey on the blogs. Also, it looks like this primary is going to go on and on, and few issues other than the primaries are going to be on the agenda. Given that reality, this is the best time to get some R & R.

Plus, I have to admit, this made me chuckle:

Josh Marshall:

Enough Already

TPMCafe reader post: "I think one thing is clear this far into the Democratic primary race: Both Obama's and Clinton's supporters must now drop out of the race."

http://tpmcafe.talkingpointsmemo.com/talk/2008/03/obama-and-clinton-supporters-m.php

Supporters of both candidates, please listen closely. For the good of the Party -- no, for the good of the Nation! -- the time has come for you to leave this race.

No more late nights in front of MSNBC. No more blogging. No more reading TPM. No more arguing at the watercooler, or at the happy hour after work at TGIF's.

Find a hobby -- knitting is really getting popular these days!

Anything, anything but your insistent and continual droning on and on about how perfect your candidate is.

Remember -- the future of this Republic is at stake.

Thank you for your consideration in this matter.


Okay, point taken. See you guys after I get some rest.

1. Have a great vacation!
Not that you'll be spending the time relaxing. It feels so good to totally let go of politics every now and then. We'll miss you, though. :hug:

Come back refreshed, rested and ready. We will need you.

I am, as ever, a big fan of taking breaks. Go, get done what needs doing, read some novels, hang out with family, have some fun. We'll keep the light on for ya over here. (Metaphorically speaking. It's one of those energy-efficient bulbs. It'll go on whenever you need it.)

Take care kiddo!

4. We'll miss you, but you've certainly earned a break!
I know exactly how you feel. Except the circus is just about to come to my state, sigh. (The only bright spot is that JK just might have to show up to campaign for Obama. Now that would cheer me up!)

Thanks for the TPM link, that post is great and the comments are pretty humorous too.

5. I agree now is a good time to take some R&R. Don't be away to long though.
I know we all will miss you.
