Kevin's worked his magic yet again and I believe the numbers that exist out there now are correct and all in sync. I plan to take a look at those and the numbers I have in the morning. I think I can determine what we should have had on the 27th and update things accordingly.

Morning all. I'll be up early and going to bed late these next three days. My thesis is due on Wednesday. If there's interest, let me know and I'll post some of it.

I'm not sure I will understand it, but I would be interested Jonathan.

Obama just got his private army…
…And no one seems to have noticed. It is buried in the Senate revisions to the health care bill.
