Robert and Saskia are on vacation this week, and I am off to Burning Man till Labor Day, so we leave you in Kim’s able hands.

Hopefully, by the time I come back, Bush will have announced a pullout from Iraq, Arnie will have resigned, and Gerardo and Phil will agree to share the Assessor’s office.

Unfortunately, it’s more likely that Bush really will attempt to assassinate Chavez, Arnie will steal another few billion from the schools, and we will be at Part VLII of the Sandoval Saga.
