I was a snowball in hell

Avalanche or blogwatch

A jailer trapped in his cell…

Ted Barlow: How to thank those awesome Masai who sent us cows. The comments are also good.

Dappled Things: Latins vs. litigiousness; Roman exceptions; a very good post on the Curia. And the Reformation Polka (which is not as much fun as the Masochism Tango, I regret to inform you).

Brink Lindsey: Fathers and Sons; people need plants and pets (this, by the way, is one reason DC is the greatest city in the world–city-at-night streetscapes plus lots and lots of big flowering and leafy trees; there’s no reason to pose a stark dichotomy between nature and city); and tariffs have consequences.

Emily Stimpson beats up on the teachers’ unions; Michael Shirley defends them (as always, check the comments); Sara Russo busts out the whuppin’ stick.

Dave Winer: Must-read quick essay about spineless journalists. To quote Edward G. Robinson in “Five-Star Final,” “No wonder the newspaper is rotten. We need more drunkards.” Hey, me and my friends are doing our part….

And I forgot to link to Daniel Connaughton’s blog–he’s the guy who sent in all those nifty contest entries below.

Oh man, Dee Dee Ramone died. No surprise I suppose. R.I.P.

Not back on it, Joe, still on it.
