Boing Boing, Pajamas Media, and Talking Points Memo all link to his Sepia Mutiny post on why the mainstream American political blogs have mostly ignored the 7/11 bombings in Mumbai. A nice post, Ennis, and good to see the issue getting some attention.
In the meantime, I need to rewrite my own essay dealing with the bombing since it's largely incoherent and seems to say something other than what I want it to. Not sure I'll get to it today, though. I will say that I'm personally not dealing with this very well. I've had a buildup of PTSD triggers, and this isn't helping muchly. But I'll muddle through. Roll the rock up the hill, etc.
Blissful ignorance would be so much easier.
100% agreed on the abundance of PTSD triggers lately, or even just stress triggers. (Of course, I'm writing from a city where it is now possible for a 3-ton concrete slab to fall on you while you're driving to the airport.)
Ironically, I heard a right-wing radio talk show host this morning saying how glad he was Kerry had lost the Presidential election because the world would be a big mess if he had won. Except he wasn't being ironic!
