And we’re back! The blog, that is — I’m still on vacation. But we were down for about 24 hours. Plausible explanations include:

1. Mitt Romney said something nice about atheists, and God was pissed.
2. Julianne said something nice about Mitt Romney, and the universe didn’t know how to react.
3. Computers are mysterious and complicated things, and frankly nobody understands how they work.

We should be in working order, although some comments were lost — sorry about that.
