Week of 9/3 thru 9/9/06
Note to self: next time, take the Pepto-Bismol after the ravioli and garlic bread but before going to bed. Or skip the garlic bread altogether since you know that can't be good for your blood pressure... Oh well, at least the heartburn-induced insomnia gives me a chance to catch up on my Liberal Coalition blogaround:
• Please send good wishes out to Chris Brown's wife, the lovely Kel, as she battles through her chronic pain for which doctors have yet to find the cause.
• Some good seasonal posts this past week: Echidne celebrates Labor Day with two posts about the history of the holiday and women in the workforce. Meanwhile, John reminds us that even though Labor Day has come and gone summer is still with us, and Michael connects the season with the gearing up of election propaganda. Speaking of which, NTodd has thrown his hat into a Connecticut ring. And Just in time for tomorrow's somber commemmorations (by New Yorkers and other thinking people) or glib propagandizing (by the people who let the tragedy happen and their supporters), Steve Gilliard reminds us why 9/11 ain't entertainment.
• Echidne also takes note of the current situation regarding the royals in Japan and the sexism of succession.
• Jane Hamsher reviews the revelations provided by John Dean when he was a Firedoglake comments-section guest for her last book review. Isn't a comments section a bit awkward for a live discussion? Wouldn't an IRC-emulator be better?
• Maru brings us yet another Bushism, wherein the president admits that lying is indeed hard work.
• I don't know how Norbizness gets access to all these super-double-secret-probation Presidential speeches, but I'm glad he does.
• Lastly, I'd like to recommend two more good posts from NTodd about revisionism, one by Yahoo News about the fight against terrorism and the other by Disney, not about what you think it is but about the disappearance of Sunflower.
Big day of driving ahead of me, best try to catch a few z's again before leaving...
