Swamped

The perennial problem: much office time this past few weeks, looming deadlines.

There are lots of stories worth commenting on -- Pat Tillman, Scott Thomas Beauchamp's Iraq memoir in TRN (and the attendant rightblogistan meltdown), many more.

I don't have time. Maybe I'll be able to deal with some of these stories after Tuesday.

Shit happens, y'know.

Update

Found a few minutes:

On Beauchamp, see Robert Farley at Lawyers, Guns and Money, Matthew Yglesias at Atlantic, Kevin Drum at Washington Monthly, and Andrew Sullivan.

You can even go to the source, if you subscribe to The New Republic: "War Bonds" and "Dead of Night". "Shock Troops" is the one that seems to be getting the most attention. Here is the blog post with Beauchamp's statement.
