Several days of silence - I had lots of things I wanted to say but no real time to sit down and say them. Yesterday was another licensing exam, the day before was a class for the exam and studying at night.

So, after a decent night's sleep, I'm ready to start thinking about other things besides Investment Advisor registration requirements and ethics rules.

Won't bother with the Supreme Court nomination of John Roberts (I wonder what his REAL name is), except to say that I think the Dems would be wise to let him in with only a token fuss. If Bush gets another appointment opportunity, that will be the time to be stubborn because that will be the wingnut appointee. Damned activist Republican judges ...
