Week of 3/5 thru 3/11/06
Before I get to other Liberal Coalition members' posts of interest from this past week, I want to extend my deepest condolences to John at archy on the loss of his beloved Miss Parker, and send my best to Echidne of the Snakes, who's dealing with Hank's histiocytic sarcoma as best anyone can.
• Death was on the minds of many LC members this week, as Natalie at All Facts and Opinions pays tribute to Dana Morosini Reeve, Mustang Bobby at Bark Bark Woof Woof (among others) remembers Gordon Parks, and Michael at Musing's Musings assures the dead dictator Milosevic that he won't be missed.
• Life does continue, however, and a few LC'ers celebrated PZ Myers' birthday this past week by doing some very good science blogging, like Coturnix's latest roundup and John's reproing a picture of PZ's favorite icon.
• Both Uptown Ruler at Scrutiny Hooligans and Echidne warn against sushi (actually, the mercury levels found therein in some CA restaurants, as well as the "food uniformity act"). Lalalala, I can't hear you, lalalala...
• None of the male-run A-list bloggers seemed to notice International Women's Day - heck, even Arianna's Huffington Post didn't mention it! - but LC members blogged about it, as well as blogging against sexism. Here are posts from Echidne, Bryant at Make Me A Commentator!!!, and two good ones from T. Rex.
• In other news, Scrutiny Hooligans scores an interview with Dr. J. Wendell Runion, Jane Hamsher at Firedoglake name-drops all over the place, so does Echidne but in her case it's goddess stuff, and Scott at ...You Are A Tree is extremely excited about Spore.
• Steve Gilliard takes a look at how the Dutch want to ban burqas. I wonder how many progressive bloggers who got those free trips to Amsterdam are going to write about this; so far the total seems to be zero, so I stand by my theory about them being successfully bought off.
• Last but not least, Mustang Bobby makes an interesting connection between Bush's current standing in the polls and the latest bullshit terror warning. 'Twas ever thus...
As a final reminder, lots of LC member blogs, including Pen-Elayne, are nominated for various Koufax Awards and the first-round voting ends today. Personally I think it would be very nice if ever LC member votes for the Liberal Coalition in the category of Best Blog Community.
