Laundromat open thread — and a favor *UPDATED*

Apparently the god of inanimate objects is still angry at me, because my washing machine — filled with wet laundry, of course — gave up the ghost. I am therefore at the laundromat, an environment that precludes serious blogging, especially on an iPhone.

Speaking of blogging, I won’t be able to blog for the next few days. Indeed, I don’t even know if I’ll have computer access. In case I do, would any of you be interested in emailing me guest blogger articles? If I can, I’ll definitely publish them. I think it livens up the blog considerably to have new, fresh viewpoints on occasion. Just be warned that I probably won’t be able to edit much, if at all, so be sure you’re comfortable with anything you send. Also, shorter is probably better (paragraphs, not pages, of text).

UPDATE:  Re sending me blog posts — I think I’ve figured out how to post even from my iPhone, although I won’t be able to include any hyperlinks.  If you have a link, you’ll just have to put it in parenthesis.  So, you’d write, “As Mark Steyn said (http://article.nationalreview.com/430938/tax-season/mark-steyn), blah blah blah.”  It’s not pretty, but it will work.  Later, if I have access to a real computer, I can tidy things up.

No promise, of course, that I’ll be able to publish what you’ve submitted (and I might have a problem with content, although I know most of you pretty well and am not worried), but do consider it.
