notes from the organizer, oct 16

Today, I've posted my own essay on Jordan, "Postponing the elections?"   This won't be a common occurrence - Qahwa Sada is not "Abu Aardvark West".  But since I'm asking a lot of my colleagues to donate their time and effort to the venture, I wanted to lead by example and produce something specifically for Qahwa Sada.  Also, two promising pieces failed to materialize over the weekend for various reasons - they should be coming along soon, just not today.   The rest of the week looks good.  Thanks to everyone who linked to the site last week - we'll try to live up to all the kind words and high expectations!
