Liberal Coalition Blogaround
Even though the New Blog Showcase is no more, some alliances remain, TLC among them. I haven't done one of these in awhile, so I'm way overdue. I've started this after just finishing our apartment-hunting visits for the day (good job we'll be away from the park across the street before the cicadas arrive - thanks for the heads-up, Susie!) and my head cold's getting worse so it might be slow going.
Over at Corrente, Lambert links to the Campaign Desk interview with Helen Thomas. I don't seem to have the same problem with CJR's blog that others have expressed, but then I'm about three issues behind in reading the magazine. And keep scrolling down for Lambert's much-appreciated "Just Asking" questions.
N. Todd Pritsky decided to change his blog's name from Dohiyi Mir to The N. Todd Times in solidarity with Robert Cox, accused by the NY Times of copyright theft. I don't know enough to comment on the legality of the sitch, but to me it actually looks like a Times page more than it looks like a parody of a Times page. As my husband says, "there's a reason they change it to 'Super-Duper Man'." Here's an article about it from the NY Daily News.
Steve Gilliard's back home and asking, Who's running the Bush campaign? He also weighs in on one of my favorite subjects, the current culture wars.
T. Rex has been doing lots of surveys of his National Government class. Geez, I don't remember taking too many surveys in class when I went to college...
Trish Wilson is justifiably incensed over missing information in headlines regarding a mass murderer and his victims. Unlike these newspapers, whose job should be to inform rather than infer, I'm deliberately being vague here so as not to spoil the impact of her post.
Guy Hall at Rook's Rant reviews Kerry's "Bush is misleading America" ad and wonders if GE is serious about solar power.
Eryk Salvaggio at And Then... balks a bit at Andrew Northrup's Bush ad parody which I linked to yesterday. I thought the last picture was a bit much as well, but I also thought it was supposed to be, and gave the entire parody an intense impact.
Speedkill's in Troy, MT. Where they're into weather. In a big way. I mean, really into it. Not a lot for non-snowmobilers to do, I guess.
I know Charles2 is headed to the Great White North, but I have no idea where Jesse's going. Maybe to Troy, MT? No wait, what about Kenya?
Mustang Bobby (whose frequent blogarounds put the rest of us to shame) loves him his Salon. I find I'm going to their site a lot more often than I used to as well.
Jude Camwell at Iddybud ponders the message of the umbrellas of Madrid.
Andante at Collective Sigh suggests that Congress ask the Pentagon's Missile Defense Agency some basic and sensible questions culled from Consumer Highlights magazine.
Over at Rick's Cafe Americain, Signor Ferrari has a weird experience with New York basketball fans. Geez, SF, I work a block away from Madison Square Garden, I coulda predicted all that. :)
Clonecone at It's Craptastic! has the "Are You Better Off Now Than Four Years Ago?" graphs from BuzzFlash, all in one handy chart, as well as news on Education Secretary Rod Paige's latest hissy fit.
Alex Greenwood and SoonerThought appeal for support on behalf of Kalyn Free of Oklahoma, who has endorsements so far from the likes of Rep. Patrick Kennedy and 17 labor unions. There's also a remembrance of OK attorney Fern Holland, killed in Iraq whilst investigation human rights violations.
John McKay at archy suggests a Kerry-McCain ticket just to see what it'd do to Karl Rove.
Rivka at Respectful of Otters tears Lauren Slater a new one.
Echidne celebrates the New John Kerry, and examines the record of George and the Girls in her latest Rara Avis installment.
Upyernoz at Rubber Hose is seeing signs. By the time I finally post this blogaround, it'll be Sunday and Signspotting will qualify for my Silly Site o' the Day.
Speaking of which, Amy did a Blogroll of Epic Proportion crossword puzzle and this blog was like the first answer I clicked on (clue: Source of Silliness). Way cool, I made a puzzle answer! Amy also discovers GAMPAC.
Peter at Kick the Leftist brings us warnings from rural Germany that the US shouldn't oughta mess with bits of the moon they bought from Dennis Hope.
Keith Kisser at The Invisible Library is as taken as I am with TBoggs' weekly look at America's Worst Mother™. Hey Keith, TBogg led me to SV's page, World O' Crap, where she supplements the skewering.
Edwardpig cites Barney Frank and the article the Congressman's just written about How A Bad Bill Becomes a Law in "what the legislative process has become under the Bush administration and the Republicans in Congress." Schoolhouse Rock it ain't. He also does a nice LC blogaround! Yep, it's Sunday already and I'm still not finished. :)
Speaking of Sunday, Mercury X23 notes that Jesus is now on the air! You can even send him Holy E-Mail!
I love Wanda's new Words on a Page banner picture.
Yikes, Chris Brown did a baby blogaround too; can this mother be far behind? And what about that water bottle dropped on Mars? For that thought I'll even forgive the unintentional fatphobia in his second paragraph...
Bryant Gries at Make Me A Commentator! has an iron will to actually listen to that much Rush and report back to his readers. And an LC blogaround! Good grief, I'm getting there, I'm getting there...
HL Victoria New World Blogger seems to have found the stats to back up Ezra Klein's feeling that the percentage of female to male political bloggers is remarkably low. But as we've been discussing on the LC mailing list, a lot of this might be semantics - am I a political blogger? a comics blogger? a New York blogger? a Silly Site blogger? or all those things and whatever else happens to catch my interest at any time? Is it perhaps the trend of women's blogs making the personal political and men's blogs doing the opposite? Or was that too pithy an observation since it's now 12:30 AM?
Woo-hoo, made it to the bottom of my LC blogroll - and a Feak Blogging picture to boot, up on bloggg, as well as a lovely tip of the hat to Granny D.
Lots of good LC readin' for ya there! And don't forget to check out the list of contributor blogs over at the LC blog sidebar! G'night all...
