Speaking of which – must compose a working version of my “fishing joke” for you. Let me shake off my jet lag and we’ll have you well and truly entertained by this evening.

Indeed, I’m sure that the Noe news occupied more media time in Toledo than Bonds has in San Francisco in connection with this trial.

And even if you disagree with that, it was probably the biggest story in Ohio for two years. It got the governor convicted of a crime.

If there is a mountain of evidence in the prosecution’s favor, it’s hard to do much about that.
