I am on the whole a pacifist, but I respect the tremendous sacrifices made by the men and women of our military, and the best way I can express my appreciation for those currently in service is to offer a wish that they return home soon. President-elect Obama, I'll trust the judgment of you and the military leaders to sort out the details, but please, as soon as it's safe, heed the words of Freda Payne* and Bring the Boys Home. Meantime, I thank all our veterans for making what in many cases were the ultimate sacrifices to ensure our liberty here.* Or, as a friend likes to call her, "she-took-two-aspirins-and-now-she's Freda Payne."

A fabulous 45, at any rate. Or as Robert Christgau once called it, "Vietnam With Violins".
