Gone Fishing
I’m taking a break from blogging for a while. But thanks for stopping by.

Compromise Is Not Impossible
It occurs to me that portions of my last post could be construed to mean that political compromise is not possible. Clearly, a statement to that effect would be false. Which presents me with an opportunity to say something I’ve always wanted to say, mimicking a classic maneuver occasionally pulled by the Supreme Court:
Though we (I) do not believe that such a construction represents the best and most faithful interpretation of our (my) previous statements, to the extent that they may be so construed, they are hereby expressly overruled.
Self-Congratulatory Housekeeping
Last week’s post about the retracted rule on advance directives got some nice attention and comments, thanks to a link from Austin Frakt. The post has now been republished at Care and Cost, a new forum for healthcare writing—a bloggregation, if I may—hosted by Brian Klepper. Check it out.
(And yes, obviously I’m going to need a more professional mugshot for this sort of thing.)
The New Organon
I’ve redesigned the site. The changes are subtle, but the new design is cleaner and more socially mediated. Getting an early start on my new year’s resolution to raise my social-networking profile.
