   Washingtons budget hawks want to decimate the federal workforce to shrink the deficit. It will have the opposite effect.
 There arent nearly enough counterterrorism experts to instruct all of Americas police. So we got these guys instead.
 Last year there wasn�t a single fatal airline accident in the developed world. So why is the U.S. health care system still accidently killing hundreds of thousands? The answer is a lack of transparency.

It's good to have you back Kevin. How did you enjoy your much-deserved vacation? Posted by: American Hawk on June 11, 2006 at 8:23 PM | PERMALINK
How did your genealogy search go? Major info breakthroughs? Pray, tell. Posted by: Gunther on June 11, 2006 at 8:38 PM | PERMALINKYou're back already? Wow, that seemed to go so fast. Are you sure you don't need another week off? Posted by: jerry on June 11, 2006 at 8:59 PM | PERMALINKNo genealogy this year, Gunther. We decided to do some more research first and go to Germany in 2007. We'll also avoid World Cup fever that way. This week was just an ordinary week off.

KEVIN DRUM: This week was just an ordinary week off. Just curious... How many of those do you get with pay every year?
Great to have you back. Steve Benen was definitely the best substitute you've had. I've not been a regular reader of the Carpetbagger, but I will be as of this week. Thanks. Posted by: hank on June 11, 2006 at 11:15 PM | PERMALINKGreat job Steve, got a new bookmark and a new great interesting blogger to read. Posted by: Paul on June 11, 2006 at 11:31 PM | PERMALINKSteve said there wouldn't be any homework or tests the rest of the year! Honest! Posted by: R.L. on June 12, 2006 at 12:33 AM | PERMALINKWelcome back, Kevin. Steve did a good job, and I hope you'll have him back as a guest blogger evey so often. fercryinoutloud Posted by: fercryinoutloud on June 12, 2006 at 1:45 AM | PERMALINKGreat to have you back. Steve Benen was definitely the best substitute you've had. I've not been a regular reader of the Carpetbagger, but I will be as of this week. Thanks. My son sicced me onto both: Political Animal and Carpetbagger. Unfortunately, I started reading during the week they almost doubled because of Kevin's vacation. Will look forward to seeing the differences in the writing styles and layouts, but won't quit HuffPost just yet; I like being able to pick the stories I want to read and make my own mind about the content. Posted by: libra on June 12, 2006 at 3:00 AM | PERMALINKKevin, I also like Steve's posts, though their style differed from your significantly. I also noticed that Steve tended to bunch his posts into the EDT working hours, wheras your posts are spread out over PDT waking hours. You notice these things when you read US blogs from Europe, I recommend a trip into the Alps when you visit Germany next summer. Bring your hiking boots. If you visit the Italian side the coffee is much much better. Trog Posted by: troglodyte on June 12, 2006 at 4:42 AM | PERMALINKWelcome back, Kotter, uh, Kevin. When will you tell us of your german adventures and the quest for ancestors? Glad to have you back, Kevin. Just in case you didn't see it, here's some inspiration for Jasmine and Inkblot, although for your sake I hope you never find any ursines roaming through Irvine: http://www.wtop.com/?nid=456&sid=817012 Ladies and gentlemen, that is one tough tabby. Welcome back, Kevin. Let the wonkery begin! Posted by: thump on June 12, 2006 at 11:50 AM | PERMALINKwelcome back, kevin. hope you enjoyed your time off.
