Yes, I am breathing…barely! Been sick as a dog and had to travel to Philly for a speaking engagement yesterday to address Daniel Pipes’ terrific Middle East Forum. Had a great time–excellent and engaging conversation with Americans committed personally and professionally to fighting Islamic terrorism at home and abroad. Thanks to all who attended.

Both kids are awfully sick, too, so blogging will be lighter than usual. But I will be posting in the afternoon and updating you on Operation Lump of Coal. THANKS TO ALL THE SPIRITED BLOGGERS AND READERS WHO HAVE JOINED ME!!!!

And tomorrow, fyi, I will be addressing the Collegiate Network’s 25th anniversary dinner if I don’t keel over with some kind of Lindsay Lohan-like mysterious illness. Hope to post more on that, too (er, the Collegiate Network, that is, not the ick). In the meantime, read more on CN and the Vast Right Wing Conservative Journalism Conspiracy from John Miller and Bernadette Malone (the fabulously talented editor who worked with me on Invasion).

Hacking fit coming on. More later…
