I’m not sure that this will mean anything to any of the readers here, but I was really bummed to learn that Moon of Alabama is calling it a day. They were my secret weapon, a great place I could always rely on for knock-your-socks-off analysis of international affairs, and links to all the important articles the other blogs don’t carry. Plus commenters so smart I always felt unqualified to say anything there myself, though I did a couple of times anyway.
But all good things. Anyway, goodnight, Moon– I’ll miss you!
Goodnight cow jumping over the moon!
Goodnight bears!
Goodnight chairs!
Goodnight light, and the red balloon!
…I read that book to two different kids, I still have the damn thing memorized…
Book was a bloody work of genius. Not so much a story, as a ritual.
