Tick, tock goes the clock. 3 DUPBBSNIT (Days Until President Bush’s Big Speech, Not Including Today; acronym appropriately pronounced: “dub-snit”).

Most Saturdays here on Winds of Change.NET are “good news” days, where we put aside our normal conversations and focus on Sufi wisdom, heroism, and promising new discoveries. Today’s thoughts are a bit more somber. All of us can see what’s coming, and understand its necessity. Doesn’t mean we have to like it, though. And there’s other news we’d rather not have heard.

Folks who prefer our regular rotation may find value in some of yesterday’s exchanges, from Celeste’s post about responsibility in the face of a sometimes-hostile world to Armed Liberal’s meditations on taxes to Trent Telenko and I having a bit of a back and forth over France.
