No column today because of an appallingly absentminded screw-up on my part, but there will be something this week. Who knows? Maybe my shtick will play better on a Wednesday.<\/p>\n
In lieu of anything original, I recommend two articles by up and coming writers. Both are from student newspapers, which is encouraging; also, you probably wouldn’t come across them in your normal reading. The first is from an acquaintance of mine at Louisiana State University, Ryan Merryman, who demonstrates that Baton Rouge<\/a> is not without hope: “Republican Right’s Forgotten Brethren.”<\/a><\/p>\n The second is from David Mackey of the Auburn Plainsman<\/i>: “Earth’s Ruin Complete, Mars Next.”<\/a> (Link courtesy of Libertarian Jackass<\/a>.)<\/p>\n Support young writers! We’ll need good jobs to pay down the Bush deficit! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" No column today because of an appallingly absentminded screw-up on my part, but there will be something this week.
