Last week I actually wrote THREE different posts for Politics Monday, but ended up not running any of them. I wrote about the amateurish reporting at the St. Pete Times (I started to call it embarrassing, but they don’t seem embarrassed by their work), the cowardice of Mayor Bob Buckhorn, and the stunning willingness of our Congress to grant extra-legal powers to the Executive Office.
But, frankly, each of these topics is depressing, and it’s not the sort of thing I want to emphasize with Politics Monday.
I thought about doing a link round-up, but all the stories I read and the stories my friends send me are similar bummers.
That means this week I’m stumped. I need some new kind of kick. During the early summer I went through a similar politics burn-out and just put PM on hiatus for a month or so. I’m thinking this time I need a special series to focus on for the next few weeks. Any suggestions?
