WeinerGate Leaves Rep's Career Dangling

I'll be on vacation for a few weeks, so my internet presence will be spotty -- I have lots of chores and, hopefully, a bit of R&R along the way. We also need to spend some time planning our publicity and selling ideas for Storm Chaser, since I should be getting my print copies in a couple of weeks. Don't even talk to me about Amazon.com and other bookseller sites; with this temporary tooth crown torn up, I'm already stressed. But the tooth will be fixed tomorrow, the Kindle/Nook version will be up soon (fingers crossed!) and as usual I'm just an e-mail away. Say, I should write a column about dentists ... at least then I'd get something besides a new crown out of this.

 

SLIGHTLY OFF THE MARK

 

            I was heating up some hot dogs the other day, and got to thinking about U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner.           

( The great thing about this scandal, which ultimately takes attention away from what's really important, is that politics don't matter -- I didn't even know this guy's party until a few days after it broke. Right or left, Weiner's just ... a dick. )
