Out, Damned Spot

I suppose I should take the Iraq Study Group seriously, especially if I want to be taken seriously as a serious blogger. Their report's worth 10 posts, at least.

But since two of its esteemed members -- James Baker and Sandra Day O'Connor -- are in large measure responsible for the death and destruction in Iraq, I can't seem to even feign interest. Lord and Lady Macbeth can scrub themselves raw, but I have no interest in watching.
