Wedding Bells

As a personal note, my oldest daughter's wedding is today. So, I've been extra busy over the holidays with friends and family in town for the events and less engaged in political blogging. But you just can't get totally away from politics these days. The groom's family lives in Wisconsin. they like cheese and Democrats. A new brother-in-law regularly chats with Sen. Russ Feingold at a Madison camera store. The wedding party includes two active duty soldiers and two others who have served in Iraq and three retired from military service. We've had some interesting conversations this week!
