Today’s links
Friends and regular readers have said they find it difficult to find my posts at The Moderate Voice. What I will try to do is post links here every day to my posts there, along with links to articles of interest I’ve read that I may not have posted about. We’ll see how it goes…

The news this week was already filled with stories on Republicans self-destructing. Huckabee was right on cue.
