Rounding up the week

There are a lot of topics on people's minds, so it's difficult to take the temperature of the black blogosphere this week. I'm tracking over 402 blogs written or co-written by black folks, so I have a few ideas, mind you. The four or five that come to mind most easily this week are the terrorist transport bombings in London, the Live 8 concerts (accompanying the just-concluded G-8 meetings in Scotland), the death (and afterlife, if you will) of vocalist Luther Vandross, the run-up to hearings for Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor's replacement and the Memim Pinguin Mexican-stamp controversy. Let's see if those topics show some staying power next week.
