Well, actually I've had a few great thoughts lately, but they have yet to coagulate so far...
Subjects of late include:
- Is running for office tax deductible - I realize there are special rules for "big campaigns," but I'm thinking more along the lines of the average Joe Politik running for mayor.
- Post 9/11 retribution literature - There's a huge, growing body of literature devoted to the fantasy of "hitting back" and getting even for 9/11. Often they take a middle ground in treating Islam as a dualistic peaceful / hateful, but not always.
- Relatedly, the death of shock in modern media. We've seen it all in TV and Movies, there's no real shock anymore. What comes next?
Anyway, just a few random ideas, maybe they'll make it here one day!
Happy V Day!
