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.
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 is not without hope: “Republican Right’s Forgotten Brethren.”
The second is from David Mackey of the Auburn Plainsman: “Earth’s Ruin Complete, Mars Next.” (Link courtesy of Libertarian Jackass.)
Support young writers! We’ll need good jobs to pay down the Bush deficit!
