yendiNo time for a full linkdump, but here are five things to read:
1. Wonder what a community organizer really does (as opposed to the horseshit line that Palin tossed out)? Here are some answers. As always, ML is as worth reading for the comment threads as for the posts themselves. Read the whole thing.
2.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
james_nicoll has a list of current SF tropes and fuck-ups that annoy him.
3. Lauren Winner on why the Christian argument to sit out elections is not the way to go.
4. The founder of Cinemart talks about how he got into, and out of, the business of bootlegging.
5. Jo Walton (who'd likely get my vote for Fan Writer if I were willing to shell out Worldcon money; her writing for Tor's site has been wonderful) has a great column on Brust's Vlad Taltos books.
