The year is nearly half over and the first few days of July are near. I'll be avoiding the red glare of rockets for the next few days and probably away from things online. Go ahead, talk amongst yourselves. And ask your students, next time you see them, about national holidays in the countries they study. Occasions? Traditions? Observations? Symbolism?

If you find a bit of information that might be useful for teaching comparative politics, post it at Sharing Comparative or send me a note with the information. I will be back online next week.
