I’ll Be Back
Gentle Readers, I have been ill since Thursday night–too ill to come down to a cold basement and blog–or even check my email. (I did watch the NY Giants beat the Pats–as I predicted. Too bad I never gamble.) I’ll return shortly.

The Levellers were a 17th C. movement during the English Civil War. They were a religiously-inspired political movement for democracy, human rights, justice for the poor, and peace. Their strongest leader was Richard Overton, a pacifist General Baptist influenced by Dutch Mennonites. In the spirit of Overton and the Levellers, this is a series of “Leveller Manifestos” for 21st C. U.S. life.

Sorry you are ill. I’m home with probably something similiar. What do you know about Rick Lischer’s book on Martin Luther King which I believe is called “The Preacher King”?
Lischer’s book is focused on King’s oratory.
okay….thanks.
How you recover soon, and use the encforced idlenmess to think of good things to blog about.
Get outta bed, Michael. Brother Romney just called to let you know that he’s stepping out of the race. McCain it is, for the Republicans, like it or not (or will there be a sudden Huckabee surge???)
Another turn in the race…
