What I’m reading during my procrastinating:
Absent Signified has a fabulous post about Zidane, sports, racism, and timely headbutts.

What I’m procrastinating from: Putting together my contribution to the hastily convened Long Sunday symposium on democracy, which has already begun with posts by Jodi and John. I will post on Monday.
