A good night's sleep, a relatively quiet day with the need to look busy, a perhaps-misplaced sense of obligation, and 462+ unread messages all add up to another irregular look at what's happening with my fellow Liberal Coalition members!
First of all, feeds. Bryant Gries doesn't have his Atom feed turned and his other RSS feed haven't worked in months, so I've put an asterisk next to his name on my Bloglines feeds, as with Keith at Invisible Library and Mike at Left is Right, neither of whom have yet to turn on their Atom feeds either. Folks, it's real easy. Go to your Blogger editing page, choose "Settings" (the second of the four tabs), then "Site Feed" (the sixth of the eight sub-tabs). Next to "Publish Site Feed" change it to "Yes," decide whether your description/feed should be full or short, click the Save Settings button and republish your index. I will then be able to read you via Bloglines, and your feed URL will be [blogname].blogspot.com/atom.xml and that's all there is to it! (New daddy T. Rex doesn't have a site feed yet either but he's not on Blogger so I have no idea how to help him out there...) Okay, onto the folks who have actual feeds...
Alex & co. at Sooner Thought are trying to rally their readers to protest cuts in Pell Grant funding.
Amy at BlogAmY is away on a cruise, but before she left she expressed bemusement at a proposed Canadian act to ban dwarf-tossing, which is actually a bit more complicated that she might suspect, as many dwarves who've protested these bans in various places (Florida, France, Ontario) apparently make their living this way as consenting barroom attractions...
Andante at Collective Sigh decries the waste of money spent doing tests with faulty missiles, and I agree. She also finds a list of five foreign countries who don't hate the US, and why they don't.
Charles2 at the Fulcrum celebrates the first snow of the season in his area, and notes that American workers' productivity has risen at a slower pace than in the recent past because we're all tired and overworked (including him)...
Chris "Lefty" Brown passes along a horrid little story from Jesusland. Other than that, he's busy consuming entertainment and discarding that which he no longer consumes. Here's your chance to see if Avengers Disassembled was as disappointing as much of comics fandom seems to think it was...
Over at Corrente - good grief, how long has it been the Blog of 7? and how out of touch am I that I just noticed that? - the farmer relates yet another story of someone whining about being an oppressed victim when the group to which they belong (in this case, white American fundie faux-Christians) pretty much runs everything in this country; Lambert is delighted (as am I) that the Pretenders are among the 2005 inductees into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame; and Xan is still plagued by the pain that is Trent Lott.
Echidne despairs of an Alabama judge's fashion statement (most of us were taught that truth and belief are two different things, like, way back in elementary school) and weighs in on the Koufax nominations.
Edwardpig has been railing against Donald Rumsfeld in his last few posts, and I suspect all that righteous anger may have burnt him out on posting this week...
Eryk at And Then... passes along a list of which stores support which political party, in case you want to practice selective holiday shopping, and notes that the TSA is still on the job protecting us...
Tena at First Draft has a great anecdote about President Clinton in Central Park; another goodie on that group blog is Athenae's linktastic Good King Wenceslas (scroll down a bit to "A Bloggy Christmas Carol," as permalinks don't seem to be operational at the moment...).
Guy Andrew Hall at Rook's Rant examines better living through chemicals and wonders whether it's even worth it to try and impeach Bush.
Jeff at Speedkill is headed back to Troy and receives all due sympathies.
John McKay at archy swears he has nothing to do with the flamboyant fundamentalist WWI era, but does give us other fundamentals.
Jude Camwell at Iddybud waxes poetic and has the scoop on Clinton Curtis here and here.
Maru Soze at WTF Is It Now?? has the usual scary links and cool pictures. Her photos and images are always the best!!
Michael at Musing's Musings says his holiday shopping is done. So's mine, but I don't really do any. Anyway, his post is really about how fundies want to desecularize Christmas - which I'm all for in theory, so let's make them use up vacation days instead of it being a federal holiday - but methinks he (as well as Jesse) misreads Rev. Melnyk's quote, which it seems to me was intended to be an alarmist comment reminding people of what happens when you "boycott people who are different," not an actual suggestion that anyone engage in such behavior.
Moi at bloggg finds a quiz to rate school music programs.
Mustang Bobby at Bark Bark Woof Woof reminds us that, while the last election may have been stolen, our message is still powerful.
Norbizness at Happy Furry Puppy Story Time is running his chronology of crapola for the 2004 Self-Congratulatories, which is what it's all about of course. And he has more of the best captioned funny pictures around...
NTodd at Dohiyi Mir is getting into the Nodwish (NOn-Denominational WInter Solstice Holiday, ™ MercuryX23) spirit, even though he's currently grumbling around Washington DC...
Scott at the Gamer's Nook likes his job! Or does he?...
The Scrutiny Hooligans looked for that union label.
Steve Bates at Yellow Doggerel Democrat goes all MISTY on us.
Steve Gilliard reveals that Bernard Kerik owns flats in my neighborhood - eek! (Bet he's west of the Parkway...) Not the actual story, of course; that would be the extensive, expensive renovations to those apartments, done when he had no money. The guy just gets skeevier by the minute, doesn't he? If I ever see him at any of the local shops I promise to kick him in the shin (if not higher).
Trish Wilson sold another story! Yay Trish!
Over at rubber hose, upyernoz examines the historical relationship between Muslims and Jews.
And lastly, Wanda at Words on a Page takes a look at Rolling Stone.
Whew! That's plenty for now! Back to the rest of my blogroll...
