For sheer fun, and proving just how clever bloggarians can be, check out the responses (and add your own) to Amanda's question of the day:
Bad Sequel Ideas.
The Blog Against Theocracy series by Tristero over at Digby is so good it just doesn't pay for me to celebrate by posting yet another screed about why having fundies force their religion down everyone else's throat is a bad idea. Read all four parts
here,
here,
here, and
here. And while you're at it, stay over there and
read Digby's post on how the U.S. attorney firings were all about minority vote suppression as a way of manipulating elections in the GOP's favor.
In case you had decided to forgive ABC for
The Path to 9/11 just because you couldn't live without
Lost, don't miss
Cernig's post today about how ABC is whoring for the Bush Administration's lust for attacking Iran.
From the "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss" file comes Melina with
a post largely dealing with Air America shooting itself in the face again by firing

Tami's brisket instead. I've always been a "Lipton onion soup and wrap in foil" girl myself, for all that I like to cook adventurously. It's quick to set up, easy (make sure it's wrapped tightly and put it in a 300 degree oven for three hours), and makes great brisket.

Steven Hart at Blue Jersey has a post about

Driftglass reminds Steve Young at HuffPo that the right to free speech does not give one the right to a platform accessible to millions from which to spew utter, irredeemable swill.
