Today has been one of those days when blogging and parenthood have been incompatible. Oh well, it’s not like there are a ton of things I’m dying to write about. Herman Cain is a creep. Big deal.

But that’s a complex subject that requires a few minutes of uninterrupted thought to discuss intelligently.
One of the weird things about it is that Netanyahu’s government responded by announcing more building in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. The Israeli papers are reporting it as a direct tit-for-tat, as though the new settlements are being built strictly for purposes of revenge.
It’s worse than high school. It’s middle school.
