I, too, am going on my own little recess for the next week, so you most likely wont see any new posts (though I will have my laptop, but I'm trying to actually take a vacation). So, instead of being cruel and everytime you check this site seeing Chertoff's mug, I thought I'd leave you with an image of picturesque Washington in the haze of a heat wave. Have a good week and try to stay cool!
