A blogwatch hand on my shoulder

And then it’s over

Alabaster crashes down, six months is a long time

To try to live in the blogwatch

Instead of a jail…

Yeah, a lot of watching lately, not so much blogging. I know. You’ll thank me, though, because these links are good stuff.

Dear Raed: Watching Iraqi propaganda: “At one point ‘the doubter’ asks ‘the wise one’ about war, the answer is evasive. He says it doesn’t matter whether matters ‘get hotter or cool down’ we should not listen to hostile reporting and believe it. Well, I guess this means I am removing the NY Times from my bookmarks then. I am a good citizen you know.

“You can’t believe how excited I am about these five or six minutes. They have acknowledged a crisis situation, they have never done that before. And it is not done with speeches directed to politicians abroad but to the people, in a simple story-like way. It’s a first.”

And: “The party’s name in Arabic is Hizb al-Baa[here you make a sound as if you were choking]th al-Arabi…”

E-Pression: Excellent point, originally by Mark Shea. “Thus an occasional will to stupidity.”

The Old Oligarch: A good, basic letter calling us to penance on the anniversary of Roe vs. Wade.

Unqualified Offerings: March with the anti-socialist contingent at this Saturday’s antiwar demo.

…but before I began–I was bored before I even began…
