Redirection – to the Mother Ship
The new issue of Just Above Sunset, the magazine-style weekly that is parent to this daily web log, went online shortly after midnight. This is Volume 3, Number 44 for the week of Sunday, October 30, 2005, containing extended versions of what first appeared here, with some new commentary, and much that did not, and could not, appear here.
This week the current events commentary covers the huge stories, the indictment of that White House fellow and his resignation, all the rumors swirling around, the debacle with the woman who now will not get a chance to sit on the Supreme Court, and the mess at the most authoritative newspaper in the county, as an internal war breaks out there. Oh yes, some notes on the White House trying to stop a publication from being careless in their parody, and a follow-up on previous items about what really lies under some of the disputes in the news.
So why were there riots last week in both the second largest city in the UK and in Paris. "Our Man in London," Mike McCahill explains the first, and much more that happened there this week. "Our Man in Paris," Ric Erickson, explains, well, not the rioting, but the bird situation, and more of last week there. It seems that the "grippe aviaire" has folks spooked.
Bob Patterson is back with a column on the "cliché fest" in journalism at the moment, and more, and photos, and his book column is on soldiers turned writers.
It is Halloween weekend, and although last week's issue had much on what that's like out here, Don Smith from Paris sends us Halloween gravestones and such from there. Photographers, and photography buffs, will be amazed.
Oh yes, this week's pithy quotes are all about last week's political scandals - conspiracy and lies and all that sort of thing.
