No news is good news....

For those who wonder why I have not posted any commentary for nearly a week, I have a straightforward explanation. This silence has had nothing to do with the Easter holidays, which have sent many folks on vacation and disrupted work schedules in many European countries.  No, it has to do with global news, or the relative absence of it. The war in Gaza grinds on. The war in Ukraine grinds on. But there has been no dramatic turn of events in these conflicts or elsewhere in the world to grab the headlines of our media and require comment from talking heads.
