Please post comments on any fiction posted. Don't worry about whether or not you're saying the "right thing"--just hi or thanks or 'I'm reading' is helpful for the writers.
I urge you to support Sarah, who's running a story right now with the Liberator posts.
Thanks.
The floor is yours.
]]>Investigators trying to determine whether access was illegal
Friday, October 24, 2008 8:57 PM

The Columbus Dispatch
"State and local officials are investigating if state and law-enforcement computer systems were illegally accessed when they were tapped for personal information about "Joe the Plumber."
"...Public records requested by The Dispatch disclose that information on Wurzelbacher's driver's license or his sport-utility vehicle was pulled from the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles database three times shortly after the debate.
]]>Please post jokes.
Why do we have elections?
Because Monopoly with real money gets boring.
Because junior high is too short.
Because there's only so many people you can hurt with religion.
To check the census.
Because how many other booths can you leap out of and save the world?!
(please don't try this at your own polling place; caped crusader collusions can turn to violence.)
Because otherwise we'd know we have no choice.
To keep us in practice filling out those little oval bubbles. Otherwise we might forget between the SATs and the Social Security forms.
So the Village can blame us.
What else can be stolen so cheaply anymore?
Because shop early, shop often isn't funny.
Here's the place to talk about books.
Please review a book, old or now, that you have read.
We are looking for books that helped you, that entertained you, that let you escape, that you recommend. Or even those books that horrified you, that you will pan.
All reviews welcome any time.
Please let us know the answer to this question: Where do you find the books you read?
Review a book here, tomorrow.
What book do you wish you'd written?
]]>Anyone have any writing they wish to post, fiction—or non-fiction?
Feedback (we'll be nice), blurbs, readers...what more could you want?
Please post at your own blog. You may post here too if you want.
In any case, please post in the comments here with a link to fiction or non-fiction you have done, so people will have a chance to read what you're done. And if possible, please comment on what you've read.
]]>Happy Friday!
We made it. I think.
Please post jokes.
What do you say to a Joke-Off? Someone tells a joke and then we all try to tell a joke on the same topic.
]]>Update: You are welcome to post or cross-post at YOWP also, but to book them we need individual posts at your own blog. Yes, I got that exactly backwards but think it's right now: please post your fiction in your own blog. Thanks for writing!
]]>Please review a book.
We would be happy to hear your thoughts.
Any topic any time...
Today we are particularly interested in Do-It-Yourself books and books that are set in the fall.
Are prize-winning books good reads? Do you really like them? What impact have they made on you?
Sunday Morning Book Reviews, here, tomorrow.
Why not write a book review?
]]>Or is it really because we are having a public negotiation about what's going to be acceptable in our society?
