Is it better or worse than the old recent-comments thing?
Any ideas for modifications or alternatives?
Leave a comment if you have an opinion.
Thanks.
Some Chicago Boyz know each other from student days at the University of Chicago. Others are Chicago boys in spirit. The blog name is also intended as a good-humored gesture of admiration for distinguished Chicago School economists and fellow travelers.

I decided to break my media fast and start trying to find out what has been going on in the world the last couple of weeks so I clicked over to Instapundit only to be greeted by a completely frivolous picture of a mushroom that Glenn took.
This is clearly a sign from gods of the Blogsphere that I continue my vacation from reality. As I am deeply religious when it is to my advantage to be so, I am going to follow this omen.
Look! Grass on the lawn! Isn’t this a wonderful world?
Following the lead of Jay Manifold (without any of his heavy lifting), below you may find links to works worth commenting upon. I don’t have the time (or the knowledge) to add value. (And yes, that is what bloggers are supposed to do, but view this as interactive blogging – part of our new national fitness exercises. Just because I’m lazy doesn’t mean you need to be.) Read on if these categories interest: Benedict’s speech, apocalyptic visions – superficial and dangerous, complaints about Kofi Annan.

Via Captain’s Quarters:
Issac Schr�dinger of the Liberty and Justice Blog currently is fighting deportation from Canada to his native country of Pakistan.
His coblogger Michael van der Galien writes that
As all of you who have read (some of) his articles will know, Isaac is very critical about radical Islam. He witnessed the results of a culture of radical Islam, he saw the effects of this ideology of hatred and ignorance, how people are forced to live, first-hand. As a result, he understands that Muslim extremists do not just pose a threat to the West, but also to every single person living in ‘Muslim countries’.
As a result, it should be obvious to anyone with any basic knowledge about this subject, it is not exactly safe for him, an apostate, to live in a country in which Muslim extremists have quite some power. He came from Pakistan, was educated in Saudi Arabia, later in the United States and now lives in Canada.
He is currently involved in the battle of his life: in January 2007 one judge will decide whether he should be granted refugee status in Canada or be deported to Pakistan.
(Emphasis mine).
Isaac’s hearing with the Canadian authorities has been scheduled for January 2007.
Michael goes on to say that
You can help. If you have links to relevant article about the treatment of apostates / not-good-Muslims / etc. in Pakistan or just want to show Isaac your support, please use the e-mail button at his blog, drop it off in one of the comment sections at his blog and or just leave a link or even simply a word of support in the comment section here.
So if you have any knowledge to share with Isaac please do so or support him any other way you can.
