Usually, I post this series on Friday evenings but since I'm worried I may not be able to post later today, I decided to jump the gun. Hopefully, many people who don't tend to hang out on Daily Kos on Friday nights will read this and become regular readers.
For those people, here's the deal: I post a series of news items and tidbits that may have gotten lost in the shuffle of the big stories of the week. None of these warrant a post of their own but they will give you something to talk about over the weekend. I encourage comments so please don't be shy and please tip your server.

Lots of stuff going on this week.
