Well, I meant to mention most of this on Friday, but I sort of ran out of time. So in case you didn't already know:
Adil's post on the pseudo-scholarship of Edward Said is up at Winds of Change. Love it.
And The American Kaiser's abdication fortunately seems to have been short-lived, or at least only partial. Posts are currently few but fine.
And Rinat Malkes explains why she wants to join the IDF. But she's having a problem with age discrimination (she's all of 23). Sorry, the permalink's not working, but the comments are. Don't feed the troll.
And speaking of trolls, this post by Solly Ezekiel (responding to Alis, who may or may not be a true troll) has been linked all over the damn place but it's worth yet one more. I also owe penance for having forgotten to add him to my blogroll before now. UPDATE: The Solly/Alis debate continues, here.
Finally, Meryl's been having an awfully tough week. First her heat went out (and, no, it's not warm down in Richmond this weekend), then she fell on her . . . um, posterior (only Meryl could make this sound so painful and so funny at the same time) and then she had a mishap with a pill bottle. Remind me to thank her for not revealing my identity on this one. Oops!
