Dr. E. from TMV, is a New Columnist for The National Catholic Reporter
It's like being in a perpetual open air lyceum. I don't know that my world is made bigger, but it is definitely made deeper. I've also come to know many of the intelligent commenters here at TMV, and have considered many points of view and gained valuable insights into human nature, cultural and otherwise, from the souls who post their knowledge, facts and opinions. Thus, from time to time, I will be linking back and forth between my columns at the National Catholic Reporter and my columns at The Moderate Voice to invite readers from each site, and other blog sites as well, to come to the feasts laid out by the other. I think many will find kindred spirits. If you would like to read the first column I filed this morning over at the National Catholic Reporter– The River Beneath the River– you can find it here: The Babushka Brigade: What Old Believers Say about Torture of Human Beings.
Ting Tings release first single
The Ting Tings have released their much-anticipated debut single Great DJ. And the duo, who have been billed as a band to watch for 2008, have revealed their surprise at how much buzz has been surrounding their music.

Airplay and stuff has been amazing." Although the group are playing down the hype, they are hoping to drum up more support ahead of their album release in May. They said: "We try not to read too much of it because it can give you a really big head. So I think we've got to play shows all this year and show people what we do." .
Wild Card -- Tuesday PM
For those keeping score at home, there was a good reason why Duane Hagadone pulled his memorial garden request in December. He woulda gotten clobbered at the polls. On Dec. 15, two days before he pulled the request, internal polling for the library bond showed the downtown garden proposals failing 72% to 28% (outta 756 replies). This, while the poll showed the library passing with 63% and the public safety bond with 56%). And you were wondering why The Duane didn't want to risk an advisory vote?

*I visited the Ron Rankin Veterans Memorial Plaza this p.m., and I'm certain The Ronfather woulda been pleased. You don't get the impact of the eagle statue, donated by the Rankin family, from photos. It's huge. And the new war mural of the kneeling Marines at Fallujah ... well, you can't visit the plaza without feeling as though you're on holy ground.
