Time for me to go.

Well, folks, it's been fun, but it's time for me to sign off. The myserious DK will be with you over the weekend, and then I believe Josh will make his return next week. As for me, this is not only the end of my guest-blogging stint, but actually the end of my time as a member of the TPM Media team. It's been a great experience, and I very much admire the whole enterprise, but for various reasons I've decided to return my blogging to its original state -- a single site -- at the easy to remember URL MatthewYglesias.com; please check it out.

As a parting thought, let me just observe that not only has Bush made a mess of domestic policy, and a stupendous mess of national security policy, but he's also overseen the continuing humiliation of USA Senior Men's Basketball at the hands of sundry foreign elements. It's a truly pathetic record.
