Well, my latest and possibly last Blogway Blabby post is up, so on to my very patient fellow Liberal Coalition members:
My goodness, 33 items (that's what Bloglines calls posts) from Alex Greenwood alone! Apparently Alex doesn't like Mo Rocca (who I agree is an acquired taste) hamming it up for CNN. I concur, these news-lightening efforts don't work very well in a medium that has so shamelessly and completely turned itself into infotainment in the first place.
Amy's pissed about Nomar. I'll miss him as well, and I don't even follow the Red Sox since the days when Steve and I were married.
Andante reports that the Miss America contest will no longer be televising the "talent" competition.
Bryant Gries presents the parable of Suzi Registered Voter.
Charles2 notes that the Bush administration really, really doesn't like lawyers who advocate on behalf of consumers and not corporations.
Chris Brown promises to tell us all about San Diego, real soon now.
Clonecone reproes Barack Obama's speech en toto, which is weird 'cause wouldn't a link to any of the official sites have it too and circumvent possible copyright violation?
Oy, 60 unread posts from Corrente since last I checked in with them! Highlights: Tom reports on the threat level being changed to orange in Washington DC, and that Tom "I need a better paying job" Ridge also says Newark is in trouble. Lambert details the strange adventure of Frank Luntz. And Xan passes along a poem parodying the Rime of the Ancient Mariner.
Echidne (back from vacation, hoorah!) may be a minor Greek goddess but she sure knows how to do the Vatican rag. Of course, if they're going to taunt us like that they can't really blame us for mocking them...
Scout at And Then... takes a look at oil company profits.
Guy Andrew Hall has the skinny on airline pensions in trouble.
Jeff at Speedkill questions a weird MTV get-out-the-vote ad.
Over at The Gotham City 13, Tas has some pretty unconventional pictures from Boston, whilst Jesse has more fun with Photoshop.
John McKay has concluded what many of us have suspected all along, that Florida is a bad TV movie.
I'm not sure, but I think Jude Camwell is voting for the marmot.
I'm hoping that when Keith returns from vacation he'll get an RSS feed.
Maru Soze (my Dell hopes your Dell gets better soon, Maru!) always has so much great stuff it's hard to know where to begin, but be sure to check out today's picture - Michael Moore and Bill Maher on their knees begging Ralph Nader not to run for the presidency in '04. She has a good bit on Republicans for Kerry, and Triumph versus Colmes.
MercuryX23 gives us an imagined John Madden play-by-play on a convention speech. And congrats on the house, Mercury!
Michael Spires at Musing's Musings passes along the latest horrific news about burning churches in Baghdad and Mosul. Earlier in the week he posted a couple of lovely travelogues.
Mike Stabile still hasn't turned on his RSS feed (hey Mike, it's "Settings," then "Site Feed," then toggling to "Yes" under "Publish Site Feed?") but has a couple tasty techie posts anyway, one on image analysis of eyes and the other inviting folks to take Sprint's wireless phone courtesy test. (I scored an 81, but I don't really use my cell phone in crowds all that often, usually just when I'm alone.)
Moi has some good news about scientific discoveries concerning autism.
Mustang Bobby reveals that Florida election officials knew about their database problems for months. Bobby's mom has also been a hell of a DemoCon correspondent. (Yes Bobby, please send me that PDF!)
Natalie Davis has a nice quote from Václav Havel and recommends Ted Casablanca's column for some unexpected Bush-zinging. Congrats to Natalie on her gig presenting a workshop on Blogging for Women and Girls this November!
Norbizness presents a list of his favorite Pinky AYPWIP responses, and also ponders all the Americas out there.
NTodd Pritsky talks about the Warsaw uprising; I watched a bit about it on EuroNews yesterday and learned more in five minutes than I would have watching, oh, I dunno, a year of typical American news channels. He's also sent his contribution to A Picture's Worth (happy anniversary, David!) but I don't know which one it is...
Over at Kick the Leftist, Peter warns that some stubborn right-wing Jews could cost Kerry the election. Someone should tell them he's practically a landsman.
Rivka at Respectful of Otters reviews Beyond Fear.
Scott at the Gamer's Nook is a Deadhead; who knew?!
Steve Bates remembers his dad and updates us on other personal stuff.
Wow, 33 Steve Gilliard posts on which to catch up! Today he seems to have little patience for Greg Palast and gives us the skinny on Nader's PA office shutting down.
Trish Wilson does some lovely Friday Cat Blogging of Lucky, reminds us that most women do not feel regret or distress after undergoing a common medical procedure, and reports on the discovery of an ancient Peruvian brewery.
Lastly, upyernoz reviews the Manchurian Candidate remake.
Whew, time for dinner already! That only took about seven on-and-off hours. Now y'all know why I don't do LC blogarounds more often. :)
