Oh yeah, I have this blog going again…. I better put something up before BigBro yells at me.
- The Dangers and Difficulties of 'Bottom Kill' (Philip Bethge, Spiegel)
- McChrystal Told the Truth (Rowan Scarborough, Human Events)
- Afghan mission impossible (George Will, Boston Herald)
- Obama's Greek tragedy (Victor Davis Hanson, RCP)
- Politico Opens the Kimono. And then Pretends it Never Happened (Jay Rosen, Press Think) Chron.com does that post-publication editing all the time. It’s pathetic. And let’s not EVEN get started on journos who get so close to their sources they forget how to be journos.
- The true story of American soccer (Dave Eggers, Slate)
The beauty of soccer for very young people is that, to create a simulacrum of the game, it requires very little skill. There is no other sport that can bear such incompetence. With soccer, 22 kids can be running around, most of them aimlessly, or picking weeds by the sidelines, or crying for no apparent reason, and yet the game can have the general appearance of an actual soccer match. If there are three or four coordinated kids among the 22 flailing bodies, there will actually be dribbling, a few legal throw-ins, and a couple of times when the ball stretches the back of the net. It will be soccer, more or less.
- Free furnace for man who lost arm in boiler accident (AP) Umm… I guess he won’t get cold while he contemplates his missing arm?
- Nigeria: Attackers Drive Nail Into Politician's Head (AllAfrica.com) Screw term limits. The Nigerians may have a better idea.
- Aegean Airlines Joins Star Alliance June 30th (View from the Wing) Eventually, we’re going to be able to put together a very nice reward ticket all the way through to a Greek island. And Aegean is nice to fly (esp compared to Olympic, although they are in the process of merging).
- Sarah Palin: Libs Hate Her Because She's Beautiful, Not Like That Michelle Obama (Hair Balls) It’s so sad to see a one-time professional journalist reduced to this.
- The downside to unelected officials (Off the Kuff)
I don’t know anything about the particulars of this case, but that’s not important.
If that were important, there would be a severe reduction in the blockquote blogging! LOL - Strange things the dailies say (Perry vs World)
- Kasra feeds the imagination, vividly (Alison Cook, Houston Chronicle) It’s a cool place, and even within walking distance (this would surely shock the Smart Growth Inner Loop Booster types!)
