What's Up With the Blogs?
What my rounds of the blogosphere produced today:
- AmericaBlog is all over the new Katrina-briefing videos, and notes a disturbing new force-deployment tactic in Iraq.
- Andrew Sullivan is rocking the religious zealotry angle, taking on both Christian and Islamic fundamentalists. He also flags an important detail in the latest Iraqi polls.
- Brad DeLong, surprise, surprise, has a bunch of hard-core international trade economics wonkishness.
- Within Crooked Timber's intellectucal smorgasboard we find a good piece on modern doublethink and a fascinating article on humour fallacy and blogs.
- The Decembrist as always has solid posts on important topics in political strategy. He considers the advantages of Democratic governors in Presidential races and asks, "Who Owns Bipartisanship?"
- Instapundit flags many things, including an apparent capture of an al-Qaeda affiliate in Bangladesh, and criticizes-via-linking the media coverage of Iraq and the Cartoon Violence controversy.
- Political Animal has an interesting conversation about our attitudes towards democratization in the Middle East with Matt Yglesias here, here, and here.
- Red State dissects the latest Zogby troop poll, and ponders the possiblities of Joementum in the Republican column.
- As always, TalkingPointsMemo is your one-stop shop for the latest in Washington's plethora of ongoing corruption scandals.
- Unqualified Offerings offers some cogent thoughts on that Zogby poll as well.
- Laura Rozen has some interesting news on Italian entanglements, ponders a Condoleeza presidential run, and the undisclosed Rest of the Story on NSA warrantless wiretapping.
More substantive blogging later, I've got an Econ midterm to study for. Ciao.
