Talk Amongst Yourselves
I am making a quick trip out of town and won't be back at this computer until Saturday morning at the earliest. But this time, I'm hoping those of you who read this bilge will keep it going in my absence. Lots of bigtime bloggers periodically put up "open threads," in which readers can talk about anything they want to, thus keeping the blog an interesting place to visit even when the blogger is off doing who-knows-what. Atrios does it; so does Kos. There's plenty to talk about, like the damage Kerry has suffered in the last two weeks, or the wisdom of relying on his Vietnam experience in the face of the GOP spin machine and brain-dead media. It doesn't even have to be political, though. Talk about the Olympics. Talk about ice cream. The thing is, just talk. I know you can, and you know you want to.
