Kathryn, thanks for posting the link earlier this

week to Points, the new Sunday opinion section of the Dallas Morning News,

which I’m editing. I had an opportunity to come up for air this morning, and

I’ve been re-reading a week’s worth of rockin’ Corner posts. Being an editor

instead of a full-time writer eats up an incredible amount of time, and I’ve

been pretty slack on blogging and column-writing. I’m also making the final

turn on “Crunchy Con,” the book I have forthcoming from Crown next year,

which is consuming all the time I have outside of the office. I’ve got two

chapters left to write — one on Religion, another on The Environment — and

a conclusion.

Anyway, thanks to those who e-mailed me about Points. We have some cool

stuff coming up, including a short interview I did with Mel Gibson for this

weekend, in which he says some pretty provocative things about Hollywood and

“The Passion,” and in a couple of weeks, a really good piece by journalist

Randall Sullivan, writing about how he was treated by the MSM, of which he

(as a bestselling author and Rolling Stone contributing editor) has long

been a part, after he came out as a Christian with the publication of last

year’s “The Miracle Detective.” I’ve got Charlotte Allen, Bat Ye’or,

Christine Rosen and others that NRO-niks love to read circling above DFW,

waiting to land. I’ll be running stuff from smart liberals too.
