…with politics right now. All kind of things are happening — the Able Danger scandal, Supreme Court nomination hearings, Hurricane Rita, the nomination of an unqualified person to head U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and so on — but I just don’t care. It’s pointless to rant and rave about something I have no control over. Politicians have and will always do what they want to do, and I’m tired of complaining about it.
Posting will be light today unless I get a sudden flash of inspiration, and tomorrow I’m attending an all-day workshop to learn how to conduct research like a journalist. Another light posting day.
Consider this an open thread and comment about whatever’s on your mind. Have you blogged about something interesting? Is there underreported news or an event you want people to know about? Are you a new blogger eager to announce your arrival in the blogosphere? This is the post to do it.
Inspire me.
Addendum: Here’s an idea: moral poverty in New Orleans.
Other ideas:
- A review of The Uncivil War: How a New Elite is Destroying Our Democracy, at Counseling Kevin.
- Are you a Harry Potter-reading Christian? Here’s one who explains why.
- Review of an anti-America movie called Flight Plan, by Debbie Schlussel. (spoiler warning) Guess who’s the terrorist? (Hint: No, it’s not the Arab Muslim.)
Update (3:47 p.m.): Bloggers testified on the Hill today about the Federal Election Commission’s attempts to curb political speech on the Internet.
— Bloggers United Against the FEC — Online Coalition
— FEC vs. Bloggers Hoopla Overhyped?
Update II: For the latest news on Hurricane Rita, check the Houston Chronicle’s blog, the Weather Channel’s site, Yahoo! full coverage, and Michelle Malkin’s links. And as always, pray for the people.
