This ought to work about as well as my begging for comments ever does--that is, poorly--but it's like this: I look over the past week, and I have really posted nothing of consequence, nothing of interest, nothing . . . Cotillion-worthy.
Some of you email me links now and then. Well, this is your golden opportunity: Pick a subject, general or specific, that you'd like me to write about. Make sure it's at least vaguely political or current events-ish because, you know, it would be poor form for me to submit something about what detergent I use or how my diabetic cat is doing (fine, actually).
I don't want to drag down the group, is the thing. So make it good. You don't have to provide a link--a simple "what do you think about x" or "I'd really like to see you give the business to y" would do.
And please: No Pandagon links. We've tilled that fertile soil enough lately, I think.

Both attack machines are in low gear issuing warnings and such. Although I'm a bit tired of contentious politics, contentiousness might be expected and maybe even warranted here. The stakes are too high. By opposing Bork, Democrats got Kennedy. That victory grows with every Supreme Court decision. The Republican majority doesn't mean all that much if you ask me. Republicans have done a great job at winning elections and becoming the majority but they are still amateurs at being the majority. Whereas Democrats ran over Republicans when they were the majority, Republicans get thwarted way too much. The question: Is Bush going to nominate a Bork or a Kennedy?
Posted by: Rob at July 3, 2005 04:23 PMYeah, lots of talk about that one going around. And that's the problem--I don't think I could possibly add anything useful to it.
I do think probably a Kennedy rather than a Bork, but who knows? Everyone's already been duped once about WHICH justice was going to retire, so I don't know whether there are more surprises awaiting us or not.

Posted by: Rob at July 3, 2005 11:14 PMHow about flag burning? Congress is going for a burn ban again. Despite these things getting continually stifled in the Senate and the high court's rock solid ruling against it.
It's topical for me since I just burned one over the weekend. Hmmm...that might deserve a write up.
