Check These Out...

Good reasons to sit through a brief web ad (in no particular order):

SALON'S GARY KAMIYA TAKES A STAB
AT HILLARY'S "APOLOGY" SPEECH

Hillary should apologize or at least better explain or justify her position on the War and her vote for it. Admitting a mistake can be the hardest thing a politician ever does, and Clinton has been so resistant, it will be nearly impossible for her now.

Anyway, Kamiya's column is a scathing hypothetical self-critique by Clinton. something most people, never mind pols would be incapable of doing to themselves publicly. But it is well worth reading, and articulates perfectly why I don't want her to be the Democratic nominee.

LINDSAY "MAJIKTHISE" BEYERSTEIN
IS SMARTER THAN AMANDA AND JOHN EDWARDS.

A fascinating look at how Edwards offered the job to Lindsay first, and why she turned it down. Oh, and it also offers a glimpse of why I don't like Edwards much either. You, like me, may have avoided all of these "blogger controversy" stories—you should read this one. Also included, Jim Webb is smarter than John Edwards too.

That was a good piece by Lindsay. Would have been nice to hear her thoughts on Melissa (as opposed to just Amanda, of whom I'm not a fan), but a good read anyhow.

Not a fan of Amanda either.

But I probably blame her disproportionally for the decline of pandagon—which had at one time been just about my favorite blog (way back when it was Ezra and Jesse).

Shows what a blogging newbie I am. I thought Pandagon was Amanda's site.

I thought the "anda" part of the name was based on her name.
