Three days off means catching up on four days of work. For those of you not so hamstrung today, here's a space for you to keep us up to date.

There's been some great blogging this holiday weekend. Many thanks to TalkLeft commenter Squeaky for assembling the first, and I hope not the last, edition of Squeaky's Sightings:

• Jane's Sunday Syllogism. (I'll add: Also check out Jane's tribute to Duane Allman and this rare 1970 footage of the Allman Brothers performing Whipping Post.)

• Atrios on Timmeh

• Empty Wheels awesome two-part Plame Story narrative.

• Crooks and Liars' Late Night Music Club with Wes Montgomery and Benny Goodman and Gene Krupa. (I'll add John's link to Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne and Prince performing "While My Guitar Gently Weeps.")

Check out this terrific video promotion by Ava Lowery for Yearly Kos.

Here's another , which Yearly Kos writes is by actor Will Keenan.

Thanks to Hoverground for sending them -- a great Will Keenan video is here.

Yearly Kos, June 8 to 11, Las Vegas. My thoughts on the event are here.

From Financial Times:

The internet will this year overtake national newspapers to become the third biggest advertising medium by spend, according to authoritative forecasts.

By the end of 2007, internet advertising will close the gap on regional newspapers, the number two medium, but will still be well short of television, the biggest outlet in the £12bn-a-year media advertising market.

No wonder --the prices are much more reasonable. Check out Advertising Liberally and The Law Blog Ad Network.

The blogging cool kidz will be in Vegas the weekend of June 9 attending the first Yearly Kos convention. So will many Democratic party leaders. The Sunday New York Times Magazine gives it a big shout-out.

Next week, 1,000 devotees of the liberal blogging universe -- people who know one another only as pseudonyms on a screen, connected by only their running commentaries -- will descend on the Riviera Hotel in hopes of affixing names and faces to their online personas.

If you are online today, and not because you are at work, chances are, like me, you are avoiding or procastinating doing something else. In the spirit of 100 Things I've Never Done by Jim Capozzola of Rittenhouse Review (also see his 100 Things About Me), I'm going to list as many projects as I can that I haven't finished -- mostly because it's easier to sit at the computer and surf the net or blog. I'm hoping that by writing them out I'll not only have a written list but actually do some of them.

What could or should you be doing other than reading this? Feel free to list them in the comments. No need to list 15, any number is fine. If you number them, you can post a followup later should you get any done.

Ok, here's my list, in no particular order:

I'm told this is the most popular screen-saver in the U.S. (If he gets stuck, just move him with your cursor or right-click and press play.)

Here's an open thread to begin the holiday weekend.

Say hello to Stand Down, a blog by the Texas Standown Project covering death penalty issues. While Texas-centric it also links to major national stories and events.

It's great to see more of anti-death penalty blogs. I also recommend Abolish (NCADP) and Capital Defense Weekly which in addition to its own blogging, has a blogroll with many defender blogs.

I don't know what it is about Tuesdays that make me unavailable to blog. It's usually work, but why Tuesdays? It needn't matter to you, as I put up the open thread with no subject limitations. So, go for it, whats' on your mind?

Update: This just in from Mark Corallo:

Nothing going on. I was told by several journalists who were down at the courthouse that the Grand Jury was not meeting today. Of course, the GJ may be meeting at the undisclosed location (as VP Cheney is out of town and not using it today...)

Thanks, Mark!

original post:

Okay, I don't think Karl Rove is on pins and needles any more. He obviously knows if there has been or will be action today. If the answer is "no," he's breathing a temporary sigh of relief. So he's leaving the hot seat on the pincushion. The rest of us are still on it.

But, there's no news. We've already speculated on just about every possible outcome, so how about a thread to talk about things unrelated to Rove to take our mind off the waiting. I'm headed to the gym for a boxing lesson. Then I'm going to finish my seminar outline on Terrorism and the War on Drugs that's due today for the NORML Aspen Legal seminar June 1-3.

Tell us what you're doing to pass the time -- or talk about other news and issues, your choice.

The Senate voted to make English the "national" or "common" language, according to CNN.com. Press Secretary Tony Snow said that the President supports it, too.

Too bad the Senate cannot make minimal competence in the language a requirement, too.

Karl Rove may not be going to court today, but I am. Here's an open thread for all things but Duke (separate open thread here). I'll be back at the end of the day.
