I’m taking a week off to take care of some stuff. No, I’m not going anywhere — too broke. Some people will be filling in sporadically (don’t worry, Boohunney will still do her daily posts), but this time, I want my readers to do most of the work. I’ll throw up the occasional piece, but it will be sporadic.

I’m posting an open thread every morning. Link to the day’s most interesting stories in the comments (you know, stuff like this) and tell us what you think. What’s on your mind?
