For a while there in the spring, I was periodically blogging about Martin Luther King, Jr.’s Strength to Love. Then I stopped. I’m not entirely sure why, other than that I hit a chapter that really didn’t speak to me — and as previously admitted, I sometimes have a hard time following through on projects. [...]

“How should a Christian view Communism?”

Open Thread anew.
Update: Now, of course, the OTAN is back, and most of us seem to have headed back home! I think I’ll put up a new Open Thread here late on Friday, though, in case people want a place to hang out over the weekend, and we’ll see what happens with it. It doesn’t look like [...]

Things I don’t hate.
(Looking for the Open Thread? Go here). You would think, being that I am a social liberal, a feminist, a Jew, and an upper-middle-class suburban mother, that you might be able to draw a pretty crunchy-granola circle around me and fairly easily determine what I will and will not allow in my house. And in [...]

Friday again, so fast! Open Thread.
Right, so having confessed my complete ignorance as to workings of the Open Threads, that last one was pretty lively! It’s near the unwieldy 50 mark, though, and very nearly Friday, so I’m starting a new one. I have a feeling that when Mr. Coates comes back online next week, he’ll reopen the OTANs. I’m [...]

Good stuff: Nothin’.
Having promised to try to be more jointed today, so far, I got nothin’. But that’s ok, because I also got Nothin’, a Townes Van Zandt tune that I just discovered today, though I’ve surely heard it before. It’s track #11 on the Robert Plant/Alison Krauss collaboration Raising Sand, which I really, really love (one [...]

Uh… about the post….
Ok, so as a daily blogger, I have really fallen down on the job this week! Having not posted since very late Sunday night. There are some good reasons for this! Here’s what I emailed to my poor neglected sister just this morning: Monday was the last day before school and though I managed to [...]

New Open Thread?
As I’ve intimated in the past, I am particularly stupid when it comes to reading the tea leaves re: the Open Threads — the last one appears to have died on the vine (other than dmf! Bless dmf! Thank you dmf!), but I don’t know if that’s because folks have lost interest, or if everyone [...]

Good stuff: “A home for all God’s children, that’s America to me.”
(Looking for the Open Thread? Go here). Monday is the last day of summer vacation, so I am going to be largely absent from anything even resembling professional activity, but, as luck would have it, I stumbled on something really wonderful, absolutely worth sharing, and easily posted. To wit! The House I Live In. First, [...]

So. What’s this all about then?
A few new folks appear to be dropping by, via a comment I left on a Nick Kristof column at the New York Times, so I thought I might introduce myself, and show y’all around the place! I tend to write a lot about Israel/Palestine and the contemporary Middle East, broadly speaking — hence my [...]

Because it’s Friday (& now it’s Monday) Open Thread.
Ok, I’mma call it! That other Open Thread there needs to be folded up and put away, and a fresh new one laid out for Friday. For explanations and rules, go here and here and here. For the Coatesian mothership, here.
