Audio Word for the Week (other stuff too!)

Some of you may have seen me comment about a podcast/audioblog I've been working on, but for anyone who hasn't, it's something I've been trying to do for Lent. The best way I can think to describe it is that it's a little bit like Oscar's Word for the Week, except that it's in an audio format. And it's my own spiritual reflections, which tend to be different from Oscar's in a number of ways. And today is Thursday, not Sunday. Well, I did say that it was a *little* like the Word for the Week he does.





(Or, here's a direct link to the mp3. I've actually got most of the audio blog written up--will try to post that somewhere some time tomorrow, for anyone who is interested.)

A few odds and ends...

For anyone who missed it, please check out this post from yesterday, Guest Bloggers Needed.

Take a look at Faithful Ohio to see some of the news coverage that the We Believe launch that took place on the 14th has received.

Russ Feingold has a new podcast up at his Progressive Patriots Fund site about his call for censure of George Bush.

Keith Olbermann was recently a guest on The Colbert Report. Crooks and Liars has the video.

At Buckeye State Blog this week, I got to actually listen to Subodh Chandra (who is running for Attorney General in Ohio) speak for the first time. Wow. There is about half an hour of audio, but I highly recommend it to anyone with the ability to download larger files like that. He starts with the story he told in his guest blog here about being unable to find one of his toddler triplets and goes on to explain just what it is that the Republican leadership has been up to for the past decade or so in Ohio, and how the office of Attorney General can become an office that makes a positive difference for ordinary people. If you'd like to learn more but can't listen to the audio, there are a number of articles about Chandra that you can find linked on his web site. I found this one that was published in Cleveland Scene last September particularly interesting: Little Brown Man... He's the best hope for Ohio's resurrection.

Finally, with the third anniversary of the beginning of "Shock and Awe" coming up in just two days, the United States has launched "what the military described as the largest air assault since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion." They've even *named* this attack--"Operation Swarmer". Words fail me at this moment. But speaking of this bloody anniversary, I know that a number of rallies are planned. What's happening in your area?
