Columbus Day

I’m blogging from an remote undisclosed location at Ohio State and . . . damn!  I just disclosed my location.  I hate it when I do that.  Anyway, the Nader post and the Berman post have generated some interesting responses, and I’ll say more about them when I get a free moment.  No, I won’t say anything more about Nader.  I promised.  But I will say something about third-party voting and why progressives should try to do in the Democratic party what the “movement conservatives” have done in the GOP over the past forty years.

In the meantime, the hockey fans among you-- and the slightly larger group interested in gay politics in and out of sports-- should check out this remarkable story from Salon‘s King Kaufman.  My (adopted) St. Louis Blues may have gone down easily to the Sharks in five games-- indeed, without showing any determination in game five other than a determination to cough up the puck in front of their own net-- but Blues stars Doug Weight and Chris Pronger deserve all kinds of props for their response to the possibility that one of their teammates might in fact be gay.

And lest we forget:  nine years ago today, a Certain Ethnic Group struck terror into our hearts, right here on American soil.
