The [Thursday] Papers
By Steve Rhodes
Weekend Note: The Weekend Desk Report will appear at some point between now and Monday. Sorry for the erratic publishing schedule lately; trying to get back on track.

I've got nothing today.
*
I mean, I've got a lot of material to work with, but it's the kind of material that requires a bit of work to, um, work up. I don't have that kind of work in me right now. Not for free, anyway.
