400-408 – Thanks to Mike Johnson for sitting in for me while I went snow-mobiling for the first time, took my Jeep off-road in the snow for the first time, cleaned off a long driveway with a snow blower for the first time, enjoyed a tour of Heavenly and the ski village in South Lake Tahoe for the first time, and survived the ride down Kingsbury Grade in white out for the first time. Also, took a long detour around the blizzard that closed 395 down from Topaz to Mammoth, with lows reaching 19 on the drive home.

On the pundit civil wars, Rush Limbaugh declared on the radio this week, "I'm here to tell you, if either of these two guys [Mr. McCain or Mike Huckabee] get the nomination, it's going to destroy the Republican Party. It's going to change it forever, be the end of it!" This is absurd. George W. Bush destroyed the Republican Party, by which I mean he sundered it, broke its constituent pieces apart and set them against each other. He did this on spending, the size of government, war, the ability to prosecute war, immigration and other issues.
