Sorry for the light blogging this week.

So, the deal is: I am off to Hawaii to marry off a friend.

That—and the fact that the lovely other wishes for a tranquil vacation in Hawaii—conspires to deprive you of my blogging services.

In my stead, welcome Stephen Young (left) of the Union of Concerned Scientists.

He isn’t really a scientist, but he is concerned.

Check out his previous posts on nuclear earth penetrators, missile defense and HEU exports.
