Rich should be back next week to do the name “Capitol Fax” justice. In the meantime, thank you for the e-mails, the comments and just generally putting up with me this week.

I hope you all have a great and safe holiday weekend. I am headed home (Carlock, Ill., which is also home of the best breakfast skillet you’ll ever have if the campaign trail leads you to the Bloomington-Normal area) to see some old pals I still talk to from high school and my younger brother, who just finished his first week at Elmhurst College. Sam & Dave will be leading me there….

“Hold on, I’m comin’. Hold on!”
