Is it just me or have their been no unqualified offerings since July 11th?
No Bill, it’s not just you. I’ve been keeping quiet about the news because I don’t want to queer my Vegas act. Also, after two years of assuming that blogger burnout was something that happened to other people, I discovered I was wrong. If I were blogging, I’d note how . . . touching it is, in its way, that the New Republic believes it would be just perfect if Iyad Allawi were the sort of person who thinks like a New Republic contributor, and how maybe, just maby, he does. I’d wonder what’s up with Iraq’s somewhat-less-mass -than-advertised graves (thanks to reader Eric Mauro); I’d agitate for war against Iran or whoever was behind 9/11 this month; and, for sure, I’d be writing stuff every bit as good as Will Wilkinson is turning out for the redesigned Fly Bottle, oh yes. I probably wouldn’t have written about Eightball #23 yet because I don’t know what I think about it yet.
Anyway, while we’ve all fallen into an alternate universe where Patrick Nielsen Hayden blogs and I don’t, that’s a glimpse of what things look like back on Earth Prime. Who, really, would choose to return?
