Ci vediamo, woops, see you next week…

I’ll be in Italy most of next week attending a conference, so the posts will likely be short-to-nonexistent.

A couple of predictions while I’m away:

1.  Arlen Specter will continue to make Democrats and Republicans angry while raising a lot of money.  Is this what they mean by “laughing all the way to the bank?”

2.  Bruce Castor will decide to run for some office other than Montgomery County Commissioner. If not the state Senate, how about Congress… or, for that matter, President?  He’s almost as good looking as Sarah Palin, after all, and to the best of my knowledge he buys his own clothes.

3.  The Inquirer and The New York Times will publish additional stories predicting the demise of the Republican Party, leading to an obvious question: If the Party is so irrelevant, why do you write about it all the time?

By the way, if you think item No. 1 is going away any time soon, check out www.specterscorecard.com, a new Web site that evaluates Specter according to the “progressive” criteria of its authors.  So far he’s batting about .500, which is not quite Obama territory, but still better than Manny Ramirez even without a drug test.

You’ve got to admire anyone who can get other people to create Web sites with their name on them—even if they’re not always friendly.

See you in a week.
