evolution

… wherein I hand off a few of my blogging topics to someone else, either because I’m sick of talking about them or because it causes me actual physical pain to do so.

» Handoff issue #1: Chiefs blogging. Having lived in Kansas for approximately 96.6% of my life, I have grown up with the Chiefs, suffering with them through the 80s and riding high with them in the 90s. It’s too hard for me to write about them, especially when they play as they did this Sunday. (There were extenuating circumstances, but that doesn’t absolve someone of the need to actually cover Antonio Gates.) Therefore, I’ll turn over all Chiefs-blogging duties to our old friend Nathan of Chiefly Musing (formerly of Brain Fertilizer). Have at it, pal.

» Handoff issue #2: Plame/Wilson CIA leak. God, I’m so sick of this. All Plame/Wilson blogging will now be done vicariously through Reynolds (again here) and
Goldstein.

» Handoff issue #3: Supreme Court nominations. I’ll probably still talk about decisions of the Court and cases before the court, but the politics of the nomination process I’ll leave to someone else… say, Patterico. But first, the soothing balm of healing…

» See me… feel me… touch me… heal me.

» [14:25] A great post by John Cole. Another from Hubris at INDC on the ThinkProgress freak-out.

» [16:19] Volokhian Jim Lindgren, noting that the spousal notification is supported by majorities of Americans/Democrats/liberals, you have to wonder — is it really all that out of the mainstream? I don’t think so. If I were the child’s father — and I’d most certainly be held responsible if it were carried to term — I think I’d want to know.
