New on Backwash: "The Mother of All Protests". A look ahead at what I hope will come of all the hubbub in New York City this coming week, along with a bit of an anecdote about Dubya's recent visit to my neck of the woods.
As you no doubt noticed, this is my first Backwash column in several weeks, and to be honest I'm having a lot of questions about whether or not I want to continue there. As with most of my other Web efforts, I'm getting mightily discouraged by the lack of feedback my writing is generating. That's especially difficult for me to deal with on Backwash, since the family of writers there guarantees a built-in audience for my work, and on seemingly everyone else's columns there's always at least a handful of responses from other columnists. That's not the case with my work there, though, and if I'm not generating discussion with my work there, then why should I keep up with it?
