Previews of Coming Attractions

It's not that I have nothing to talk about.  There are any number of things that have caught my attention over the last few days.  Hasidic modesty squads.  Incipient alcoholism among college faculty.  Extortionary cable television policies  Psychopathic cats.  Many if not all of these topics will be discussed in the days ahead, as soon as I can snap out of this semi-comatose state brought about by repetitive presentation syndrome.  Stay with me, Nation!
