I feel a blogwatch on my shoulder

And the touch of a world that is older

Turn the switch and check the number

Leave it on when in bed I slumber …

The Agitator: Scroll about for lots and lots and LOTS of mail about the Drug War.

Colby Cosh: Did you know Christopher Hitchens testified to the Vatican about Mother Theresa’s cause for canonization? Neither did I. Plus more stuff about “Inappropriately Touched by an Angel.” Via Relapsed Catholic.

Unqualified Offerings: Yet more war confusion and weirdness. It’s fortunate that no one cares what I think about this, since I’m still totally unsure about the whole Iraq thing. Hussein tried to kill our former president. We’ve been poking him with a sharp stick, and if you do that long enough, you have to either shoot the dog or get bit. On the other hand, I really don’t think it’s in our long-term best interests to be (and be seen as) jetting around the world knocking off any scuzzball who begins amassing uranium. Don’t know that that means we shouldn’t act in certain short-term crises, which we may be in/have created/a lot of both. Am now leaning pro-war, but still confused, unhappy, and all the rest. Yeargh. But this was supposed to be a blogwatch; UO has posts on two kinds of anti-war stances; uranium in Turkey, part one; part two, with theories about what’s going on over there. Plus he pointed me to this necessary post from Amygdala about unsettling Israeli settlement stats.
