A short recon of what’s out there that might draw your attention.
Pam of Iraq War Today writes My Two Cents: My Taliban Neighbor “A little over an hour from my house is Yale University. - it's even closer to where I work.

Here's the audio. You have to listen to believe it.
Cassandra of Villainous Company writes Vox Populi “When next you are subjected to a spate of overwrought DNC bloviation about how the President should listen to the will of the people, you might want to stop and reflect upon whether said "People" have the slightest idea what they're talking about:”
