Well, I don't seem to have a lot of time tonight and tomorrow and the weekend are looking kind of iffy, so I thought I'd assign a bunch of reading. There will be a quiz on Monday.
I really start to see the light at the end of the tunnel . . .
Let me rephrase that. I start to get cautiously optimistic about Iraq when I see columns like this appearing in the Arab press. You also might want to look at Zeyad's Healing Iraq, which I've blogrolled. He's a young dentist in Baghdad, and he's getting a lot of well-deserved attention.
Then for a change of pace, The Worst Album Covers of All Time, courtesy of Jonah Goldberg in The Corner.
And last but not least, a nice article in The Weekly Standard on bluegrass. I'm not much of an aficionado when it comes to country music (a true country music fan wouldn't use words like aficionado, for starters) but I've always loved bluegrass, with its high lonesome tone and blistering instrumental virtuosity.
And with that, I am outta here. Have a good weekend, y'all.
