Just some random stuff: 
*  Doing the Libby trial, no matter what the outcome, has been a helluva lotta fun.  I met some really interesting people, learned a lot and watched this little experiment we have going here grow and grow.  How cool is that?
 
*  Steve Gilliard, our occasional guest writer and very good friend, is in the hospital.  Please send healing thoughts his way, and head over to his site to leave a comment of well wishing.  The early word is he should be out Wednesday.
 
*  I love this Donny Hathaway video.  Hell, I love Donny Hathaway.  Another brilliant talent too soon gone.
 
*  It's Spring Training time, and my two favorite Mets sites are Metsblog and Amazin' Avenue, the latter of which is one of Commander Markos' network of sportsblogs.  I'm so well trained, I gave the link without direct orders from the Mighty Kos.  I also wanted to talk up the Mets on behalf of my fellow Mets fan, Steve Gilliard, and for him, I have to add, "Fuck the fuckin' Yankees!"  Take that, Amato.
 
*  Speaking of that Donny Hathaway song, you'll notice it's a religious song, though one that was very popular in the 1970's.  I have not weighed in on all the fuss over the integration of the religious left into progressive politics going on elsewhere this week, but I do want to note that we've done a pretty good amount of working seamlessly to promote inclusion on all sides here at FDL.  I do agree with Atrios, though:  those who argue that the left is not welcoming to the religious left really need to start naming some names and quoting some statements directly if they want to be taken seriously.  And, as our friend Steve Gilliard notes, all those people saying the left is hostile to people of faith are ignoring the entire African American community.  What's up with that?
 
*  I'm really excited to have Phoenix Woman among our contributors, and equally excited about the pending inclusion of some other familiar commenting names among our front pagers.  Can you guess who? 
 
*  For those of you who may have missed it, Tommy Yum reports that his son Esten is heading back to school following his bout with leukemia.  For those of you who don't know it, Tommy Yum was the co-writer of our election year special hit, Have You Had Enough?  
 
*  Washington Post public relations hack ombusdman Deb Howell justifies the decision to run Victoria Toensing's lies as the Libby case closes, amplifying the paper's editorial level decision to go all the way in the tank for Team Libby.  Since Deb is so interested in offering "provocative" content in the Outlook section, I expect Jane Hamsher to be published there any Sunday now.  Here's the difference:  Toensing had her basic facts wrong and Jane will have hers dead on cold correct.  (Hat tip to TeddySanFran.)
 

That's all I've got for now.  What's cookin' with you tonight? 
 
UPDATE:  And in other news, we now have video of the only remaining New York City residents who remember the Giuliani administration fondly.
