LC Saturday
Time for my weekly overview of what's going on at the blogs of my fellow
Liberal Coalition members, even though
Mustang Bobby already beat me to it with his Pen-Elayne-free Saturday Surfing...
Over at Corrente, the Farmer echoes Digby in putting left-wing bloggers' voices in perspective. I'm kind of used to being a small-to-medium fish in a miniscule pond, a subset of a subset to infinite regression, but it's nice to see others being self-aware about this.
LC leader N. Todd Pritsky reports on new rules enabling the FBI to continue its increased wiretaps, searches and other privacy invasions subject to oversight by a secret intelligence court rather than publicly-accountable criminal courts. All in the name of fighting "terrorism," which is of course whatever the people in power say it is. Lovely.
My neighbor to the west and frequent commenter, Scott from Gamer's Nook, is undoubtedly inspired by the latest Jack Chick parody making the blog rounds, and links to A Very Cthulhu Christmas. That's A Very Cthulhu NODWISH to you, Scott!
Everyone wish T. Rex and the proprietor of Invisible Library well on their finals! Dang, I can't believe my college years took place half a life ago... And get well soon to Chris Brown, felled (as have been so many of us) by the Dreaded Lurgy...
Mustang Bobby's found that some Austrians are more equal than other Austrians...
Lilith Devlin is in the process of moving to Albuquerque, but I'm sure when she returns to blogging she'll have a report on our meeting this past Wednesday. :)
Jeff at Speedkill has way more patience with homophobic letter writers than I ever would.
Scout at And Then... has another '60s flashback. Tanned, rested and ready!
Left is Right takes a look at Imad Khadduri's attic - actually, the Guardian's examination of Khadduri's new book, Iraq's Nuclear Mirage.
Clonecone at It's Craptastic! recommends a post from fellow LC member Peter at Kick the Leftist entitled Big Corporate vs. 13 y/o girl (and the RIAA hits keep on coming!) for the upcoming week's New Blog Showcase.
Guy Andrew Hall at Rook's Rant bids a fond farewell to Cowboy Kahlil, as Kevin Hayden makes 51 Reasons Why Americans Should Elect Howard Dean his last post before starting up a new weblog sometime in early '04...
Jesse at The Gotham City 13 gives us some Weekend Funnies, including the burning question "What Do the Stars Think About Al Gore?"
Charles2 at The Fulcrum asks the Wall Street Journal, "Why go Boom?"
Tao of Dowingba would like the US to fucking lay off Canada, eh.
Alex at Sooner Thought passes along an article about Connecticut legislators calling for Governor John Rowland's resignation after his admission that, yeah, a state contractor and others helped pay for work on his summer home after all (contrary to his earlier denials).
Mercury23's permalinks are still bloggered or I'd take you right to his post on Bushco vs. Nature, but at the moment it's right at the top of his blog so it's not hard to find. (Hey Mercury23, republishing the entire site usually works for me in fixing bloggered links...)
Upyernoz at Rubber Hose wonders whether he needs to make excuses for when he doesn't blog. Sure you do, everyone knows when you do meta-posts (i.e., blogging about blogging) you always get more response in the comments section!
Run away! Edwardpig has found a way cool optical illusion-type design that will totally make your eyes cross!
Amy (who doesn't seem to have permalinks) points to this news article entitled Pic Of Naked Canadian Mayor Stolen From Computer that didn't actually come from Mark Morford!
Stradiotto's photo scares me.
Lastly, just wanted to note that two of my favorite blogroll folks, Steve Bates and Maru Soze, are now contributors to the Liberal Coalition blog. Yay!
