Blogging will be light to nonexistent until August 11, since my parents are in town for a visit. There's plenty of news to comment on, from Hezbollah's assault on Israeli cities while Israel sits and waits, reports that the Qana "massacre" is reminiscent of the one in Jenin with the death toll dropping by the day, the not-yet-announced death of Fidel Castro, ETA's threats to return to violence if they don't get what they want from the Zap administration, Iberia's cave-in allowing the wildcat strikers to keep their jobs, and much more. But you'll have to read about it on some other blog; I suggest the ones in the blogroll to the left.
