I'm spending the morning at the hospital while the First Mate undergoes a regularly-schedule maintenance procedure related to her kidney transplant. The wireless connection at the hospital is unusually slow today, which means my posting will be limited. I'll try to catch up on a huge backlog of e-mail and work on a couple of speeches I have scheduled, while keeping an eye on the wire services for breaking news.

In the meantime, here are a few items that might interest CQ readers:

* If you are looking for greeting cards, motivational knick-knacks, and original gift ideas, give The Stickmans a visit. It's a new outfit (partly owned and operated by my uncle, the Tenor Saxman) with unique and whimsical merchandise. Tell them the Captain sent you.

* Don't forget about our Not One Dime logo contest. All of the Not One Dime posts and my reporting on the judiciary can be found in my Judiciary category.

* King catches Strib columnist and Air America host Nick Coleman in another dishonest misrepresentation, but notes that complaining to the Strib about it is utterly pointless.

* Fraters Libertas notes that Minnesota will not have a poet laureate, nor a state mime. Thank God and Tim Pawlenty for both, although I would nominate Nick Coleman for the latter if he'd accept.

* Radioblogger has a transcript from a Hugh Hewitt interview with Senators Santorum, Ensign, and Talent -- all of whom support the constitutional option if the Democrats filibuster any more judicial nominees.

* Mike Krempansky has been working hard on the response to the FEC at Redstate, while Scared Monkeys asks, "Should blogs trust the FEC?" Michelle Malkin (and I) both say no.

* Jon Henke announces the release of the latest edition of The New Libertarian. If you don't already know this, Jon is the most rational and convincing proponent for Neolibertarianism in the blogosphere. I read QandO every day, and so should you.

* For updates on the Canadian situation, be sure to check out Stephen Taylor, Newsbeat 1, and Angry in the Great White North.
