Following the post this morning about Fred Thompson being at the Iowa State Fair, I thought, “I ought to drive up there. It’s only three and a half hours. I could go up, get a picture or two, talk to the man and be back this evening.” But I looked at the domestic agenda and decided that today was not a good day.

“Keep your powder dry,” the tall, balding Southerner replied.
