I always feel like somebody’s watching blogs…

Brink Lindsey: More good stuff on Zambia and free-market reforms.

Charles Murtaugh: Possible cultural factors in the African AIDS epidemic.

OxBlog: Nifty new blog from Oxford types, including Josh Chafetz (there’s your link–sorry it took so long!).

Mark Shea: Good summary of the debate about the bishops’ proposed Day of Reparations for the priestly scandals. And the need for public repentance, not public relations.

Unqualified Offerings: I can’t wait to read his long posts on Palestine and Israel. Or, actually, I can wait, because I have to–did I mention that today is a madhouse over here?–but you shouldn’t. Don’t delay, read today. Also, this post about the love of tiny or dysfunctional homelands is really good. As a certified lover of the District of Chaos, home of Marion “A Mayor With Convictions” Barry, the initial point made sense (love of country isn’t about what your country can do), and the post segues into a few points about the worldview of an ordinary Palestinian.

Matt Welch: Lots of good stuff about journalism, especially this dissection of execrable news-speak and this excellent, 100% right-on smackdown of the “all analysis, no reporting” school of journalism.

And Eric Conveys An Emotion is just hysterical.
