Fascinatin’ blogwatch, you got me on the go…

Iraq At a Glance: New Iraqi blog! a.k.a. the secret lives of Iraqi dentists.

LucyHoney23: Dissection of porno. Via her husband. Contains, as you might expect, lots of explicit descriptions (and definitely wouldn’t get the Imprimatur), but insightful and even poignant: “the NORM in porn is the guy disconnecting physically–even before the sex act is over. that’s pretty messed up.”

Noli Irritare Leones: Doesn’t quite answer my question about what the deal is with the Avengers (the costumed vigilantes, not the excellent punk band), but does describe some fun-sounding storylines.

Unqualified Offerings: Help Arthur Silber!–with bonus urban-wonk libertarianism. I love me some urban-wonk libertarianism–more on that below. Anyway, Silber is a great guy, so please lend a hand if you can.

Jesse Walker explores how Business Improvement Districts exist “between public and private,” and the theoretical and practical problems that twilight status causes. These urban-wonk libertarian articles are what I read Reason for, people. (OK, that and Charles Freund.) Their supposedly “fun” pieces on sex, drugs, and rocknroll virtually never tell me anything the mainstream isn’t already yapping in my ear, thus they are no fun. So yeah, stop trying to be cool.

They’re trying to snatch her kids because she scored low on an IQ test? Is this for real? (via Mark Shea.)
