The first bit are articles and essays of the goings-on in politics, including some of my own commentary on what I think of what Congress/Supreme Court/Dubya are up to in D.C.
The second part is just essays by famous authors about what have you and that, too.
I have sorted them out into different columns so you might be able to
pick a topic.

BOB DYLAN WEEK
This week, the greatest lyricist ever(try challenging
that one) turns sixty. He has been in the music business for more
than forty years now, and is still going strong.
Because he is a living legend(or god, if you'd like
to call him that), there will be many news articles out about him this
week, and I intend to find as many of them as I can. After I post
them, they will probably be put on the Bob Dylan lyrics page once all is
said and done.
