Via Daly Thoughts, I see that Bill Roggio will be embedded with a Marine unit. Nice. Go donate.
A Bargain, I Think
My blog is worth $578,653.50.
How much is your blog worth?
I have no idea how that was calculated (h/t C&L).
No Kidding
And now, from the ‘Things You Already Knew” category, this piece from the Bull Moose Blog pointing out that Atrios is a vicious hack who will slander anyone.
Shocking. [/sarcasm]
Camp Katrina Blog
This is cool- a bunch of National Guard folks who are working in the Katrina aftermath have started a blog called Camp Katrina.
Check it out.
Why I Love Blogging
Rep. Jane Harman (D-CA) writes at TPM from Iraq, listing things she thinks need to be done to stabilize the country and make progress. These include:
1.) Get the power on.
2.) Get the oil out.
3.) Get the government ministries going.
4.) Get Zarqawi.
Each item has a little blurb why this is important.
The first, and I mean very first, commenter (noblesseoblige), writes:
Dear Rep. Harman:
Your suggestions to get Zarqawi, get the power on, get the ministries going, etc, are excellent.
None of them ever occurred to us and we thank you for the tip.
Respectfully yours,
— CentCom Commander Gen. John AbizaidPS If you think we should also bring about peace, stability, and prosperity, don’t hesitate to let us know.
Heh.
How Long Will He Last?
Does anyone want to place a wager on how long Greg Gutfield is going to last at HuffPo if he keeps throwing grenades like this:
was just thinking, if Randall Robinson wasn’t at the Huffpo, WHAT would he be doing? If Gene Stone wasn’t blogging, WHO would he be doing? If Eve Ensler wasn’t here, how many other talking vaginas will we be faced with, not counting Gary Hart?
I now realize that Huffpo is like a bug zapper. It attracts all the pests in your big backyard to one little blog where they can be safely ignored while they die their little bug deaths. It’s what I call the Huffpo Attractive Nuisance Strategy.
Anyone want to post an over/under on Gutfield being thrown under a bus (or large SUV) by Arianna?
Rather Stupid
Dan Rather, on why he is not pursuing the Bush National Guard story:
Rather also expressed suspicion about bloggers’ role in publicizing CBS’s mistakes in the whole Memogate affair.
“There are some strange, and to me, still mysterious things, certainly unexplained things that happened about how it got attacked and why, even before the program was over,” Rather said, adding that his network was derelict in not “knowing enough of how quickly bloggers could strike.”
Could be a new Fox reality show- ‘When Bloggers STRIKE!’
