Monday open thread — and another request for blog submissions

As I mentioned yesterday, blogging this week will be minimal, as all my time will be tied up in the family.  So please, think seriously about sending me emails that you’d like to see as posts.  A few caveats:

1.  I don’t promise to publish.  The views expressed can be different from mine but, if they’re too different, I just won’t be able to make my blog a forum for those views.

2.  I won’t be able to do much, if any, editing.  Be comfortable with what you write, because that’s what others will read.

3.  I probably won’t be able to do hyperlinking, because I’m going to be copying over from my iPhone.  If you have a link, just include it in parentheses, i.e., “For the best coverage of the administration’s wacko, and dangerous, approach to Israel, I recommend Commentary Contentions (http://www.commentarymagazine.com/blogs/index.php/category/contentions.”
