An e-mail from Minneapolis:

I am grateful for many things:
– No attacks have occurred on our soil in five years plus.
– Britney Spears and Reese Witherspoon have standards.
– For SecDef, one face, name, and personality was swapped for another, but the deep experience is still there.
– BSG
– John Kerry is fully willing and able to speak.
– In a year and a half, you all (y’all) will be in our backyard. We eagerly await it.
