Monday Miscellany - Carnivalingus

I will be making an effort over the next week to complete the process of converting DWSUWF to New Blogger. We are currently operating on New Blogger with an Old Blogger template. This works fine, but the mix occasionally precipitates some odd behavior and limits my ability to add widgets and enhancements to the blog. So * Fair Warning * while the update is in process there may be some unpredictable things happening around here, including parts of the blog appearing and disappearing without notice. To take advantage of Blogger labels, I may also have to repost everything from the beginning of time (April 2006), which may or may not confuse my RSS readers. I should have everything cleared up before July 4. Which brings me to...

The next post will probably be the Carnival of Divided Government Quârtus Decimus - Special Independence Day Edition, to be posted July 4th, 2007. Blog articles may be submitted for the carnival of divided government using the carnival submission form. Past posts can be found on our blog carnival index page or this label link. In this special edition we continue our search for bloggers, pundits and writers declaring their independence from conventional partisan wisdom. We will be searching the blogosphere and mainstream media for articles and posts on the singular topic of government divided between the major parties. As in all of the CODGOV series, the primary only criteria for acceptance in the carnival is to use the words and/or concept of "divided government" in submitted posts. If the words "divided government" are in the post, it almost certainly will be included. If the words "divided government" are not in the post, it almost certainly will not be included. Sooo... make sure the words "divided government" are in your submission.
