To the Uttermost West

As is common on these special occasions, I now depart for a primitive realm, isolated from the All Knowing Web. For the next three days, my knowledge of the outside world will be limited to what I can discern from the marks Bill Keller allows to be made on sheets of mashed up wood. I will be unable to experience DemFromCt's 645th consecutive post on the swine flu apocalypse and the post-civilization world into which it will soon plunge us all. I will return no doubt changed, my mind devolved to the more primitive state of human consciousness of the late 20th Century.

I will try to enjoy it. Probably back on Sunday.

We interrupt Cervante's obsession with influenza and DemFromCT to wish him and his a happy thanksgiving, and point him to "On Cancer Screening, Politics, and Communication" (since he only reads my flu posts in order to work up a good rant, he may have missed this one.)

Remember the less fortunate while you argue politics with family and friends. And stay well.
