You tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is 'never try'. -- Homer Simpson
Back to our Blog Roll, picking up after our last stop of Lori & Maripat of “Right We Are”, brings us into the meat and potatoes of the right-wing sites.
I also want to apologize to you all for not getting this done sooner, but I am still trying to deal with the leftover “boosh-wa” (as my mother would have said) from last week’s fiasco with Verizon. But I’m back, as thoroughly as can be managed on a 56K dial-up account, and we’ll be finishing the R’s and continuing on through the remainder of the alphabet over the next few days.
Right Wing News, owned and operated by John Hawkins (he of the “Top 20” lists, and the ACPOTI items) is one of my daily stops, even if there is no indication of a recent update, simply because he has a wonderfully dry wit, and an eye for picking out the logical absurdities in today’s news items. He also manages to get interviews with some really cool people. He’s talking now about Hamas, and Hezbollah, and how we should just let the Israelis deal with them, just as we would if those camel-humpers were blowing up buses in Des Moines rather than Bethlehem.
Lee runs another of my favorite haunts, Right Thinking From The Left Coast, from “the belly of the beast” - the San Francisco Bay area. He manages to provide some of the more humorous numbskullery from the Libtards who manage to surprise even themselves, and even manages to get pictures. He’s talking about how NOW (the National Organization for Women) is planning on giving its support to Carol Moseley-Braun. Hey, it’s worth a shot, right? Heh.
Scrappleface has a deliciously ironic and sarcastic sense of humor, satirizing the powerful and popular in the news of the moment. He’s engendering yux with his AOL Journal entry, among several others. Usually worthwhile, and always at least a little funny.
Bigwig, from Silflay Hraka, and his fellow bloggers are the cause and ongoing support for the Carnival of the Vanities (which I will be hosting again on December 17th, so mark your caledars, and get the essays and rants ready!). He’s poking a little bit of light fun at getting caught blogging at work.
David Strain, who came up with the motto for this blog, puts his thoughts into Sketches of Strain, in between working at a radio station and a clothing store and surfing the web, and creating some wonderful punditry along the way. He occasionally blogs about fairly mundane stuff (like his fear of “The Laundry Monster"), but still keeps his readership coming back by turning it into a few well-turned phrases surrounding a spry sense of humor. Like one singled out by James at PRS, “Life, you know, is really just a series of delicious things to eat. Everything that happens in between, well, that’s just cocktails.” I guess that makes me the leftover meatloaf on the bottom shelf.
Spanky writes about some of the medical horror stories from that first-person point of view, but managing to maintain that same quirky sense of humor so beloved on M*A*S*H. One of the most famous is the guy who literally sued himself to death! An intermittent blog, but worth catching up on…
It’s kind of late, and I have to get up very early tomorrow, so I’ll start again with the T’s tomorrow (I only have one appointment, so I should have time...)
