Blogroll Amnesty Day

Posted on by

Skippy has declared Blogroll Amnesty Day, so here we are. My blogroll is still scrambled, because we are in kind of upgrade bardo at the moment, but I can still add stuff and hope it straightens out eventuality.

In honor of Blogroll Amnesty, please nominate blogs you know of that are cool and hip that you think I should blogroll, and I will check them out. My own new addition is named Byzigenous Buddhapalian.

Mark Steyn Hates America

Highlights of Mark Steyn’s latest column:

  • He wants us all to get syphilis. The BooMan explains.
  • He repeats a much-debunked Republican lie that the Obama stimulus package contains $4.2 billion for ACORN. In fact, the bill does not mention ACORN. But you know righties — once they get a story in their heads that reinforces their opinions, you can debunk it from now until doomsday and they’ll keep repeating it anyway. Years from now, when both the stimulus package and ACORN have faded into history, they will still believe ACORN got $4.2 billion.

Other stuff to read:

“The Nativists Are Restless” — The GOP continues to shoot itself in the foot over the immigration issue.

Frank Rich notes that the GOP keeps promising us “new ideas” but so far haven’t produced any. However, they (although not the Democrats) live in fear of the wrath of Rushbo.
