Saturday eagle blogging

I do apologize for the glitch where it sometimes ends up being June again. We know how to fix it, but we don't yet know how to make it stop happening altogether.

Posting will stop being so light in a few days. Thanks for your patience.

But here's a thought for you about media coverage of presidential candidates.

Can we please stop with the discussion of who does or doesn't "look like a president" or "seem presidential"?

You know who looks like a president? The president. Even when we're stuck with one who looks disturbingly chimplike. Even if you look like the worst president, that's a kind of looking like a president. So, could we please start analyzing what these guys actually want to do in office (Thompson wants to stay in Iraq forever, Giuliani wants to bomb Iran, Romney wants to "double the size of Guantanamo") and stop acting like we're casting the role of the president in a movie of the week?
