It seems to me I said something about getting back to a regular blogging schedule this week, didn't I? It ain't gonna happen. Too much visiting, too much partying, too much eating of rich food and not enough sleep. And in an hour or so I'm off on an unscheduled road trip. It seems a computer has "melted down" and I wanna see this for myself.
I've managed to catch up on what some other people are writing and I can leave you with a little food for thought.
Writing at Daily Kos, Stirling Newberry works the numbers and explains why things look pretty grim for the American effort in Iraq.
Melanie at Bump continues her close coverage of the possibility of a new and deadly influenza pandemic. As far as I can tell, she's the only one who's consistently on top of this story.
And if you want something meatier than blog posts, Ian Welsh has been reading up a storm and provides some quick book reviews.
I should be back in time to wish everyone a happy new year.


I hope this is a free speech free thought /musing about blogish place>maybe not?
I never thought much about iraq before the current prima donna of the media ,but why go on killing those people, if someone tries to kill me or order me around i would not oblige.
Let noone tred on me.
freedom is essential and yes i would rather die than submit to troops telling me what where and how do.
Death i know may be the result but i will not allow myself to be pushed around by threats and gun toting troops.
thank you.
