This Time I Mean It


I really am going to take a break. It's summer (at least for the time being), I have a massive backlog of books to review (which means I can justify sitting-in-the-garden time), and the news is just as depressing as usual.

Check out Pam's House Blend for reports on the latest Christianist excesses, Andrew Sullivan for the latest ivory tower speculations, and AmericaBlog for the latest wild-eyed liberal finger-pointing.

Mostly, I just don't feel like it.
