Slow tonight . . .

Blogging will be very light tonight. If The Adventures of Chester could direct you to one site today, it would be here and here for some very interesting posts over at Belmont Club about the impact of the Iraqi elections on the region in general and the Iranian regime in particular. Please don't forget the Friends of Iraq Blogger Challenge, which ends tonight at midnight pacific. We're awfully proud of the great showing that readers of The Adventures of Chester have given in this contest: our site remains in fourth place and has raised $2003. Thanks to all of you who've contributed! We said at the outset that we wanted to prove that our readers could soundly trounce those of other blogs and that's about the size of it! If you haven't donated yet, please consider -- tonight's your last chance!
