On the Road

I'm off to the airport for a little trip. I'll be back here in a few days but I do expect to be posting in the interim. Probably not until late tonight or tomorrow morning though.

Meanwhile, head over to Drug WarRant for the breaking news on Andrea Barthwell. It appears our deputy drug czar has resigned in order to chase the nomination as the GOP candidate for an Illinois Senate seat, now that former contender Jack Ryan was forced to drop out of the race because of those nasty sex allegations.

Pete thinks it's bad for drug reform. Me, I think it's good for drug policy reform that she's took her lying butt out of the ONDCP office but granted, it does not bode well for drug policy in Illinois nor in future Senate votes if she manages to snag a seat.

Guess we'll just have to make sure she loses the bid.
