The Daily Parker

Fortunately, I have a couple of long flights coming up in two weeks. Unfortunately, not all of this will be relevant then:

• Mike Huckabee's entry into the presidential race may mean the Christian right is deteriorating.
• Bourbon's popularity, and the longevity of oak trees, is a problem.
• Did Jeb Bush trigger an Iraq War watershed?
• The Southern Regional Climate Center has a new climate tool that I'm going to play with...someday.
• Only one more Mad Men episode. I'm sad.
• ICYMI: Upgrading to Windows 10 will be free for personal users.
• And, oh yes, one more about Illinois pension reform.

Tonight I'm taking a short break to go to the Wait! Wait! Don't tell me taping, which is conveniently located two blocks from my office. And tomorrow I might have some time to think.
