Late Night Reading

I’m going to take a brief look around tonight and then head off to finish the latest J. A. Jance novel: Exit Wounds.
Jim Henley finds one meaning of the good life.
Looking to meet a single Mom? If you are going to be in Jerusalem Allison Kaplon Sommer has a pointer for you.
For those of you looking for God, Walter at Idols of the Marketplace relays the information that there is a new one in Equitorial Guinea.
To the Barricade’s Stephen reached onto the bookshelf and pulled down some Khalil Gibran and finds that ‘it’s still good stuff.’
Off to read and Good Night!


Late Night Reading

Jen at Circadian Shift let’s us know that the 15th edition of The Chicago Manual of Style is here and links to some advice from Gene Wolf on becoming a writer.
Over at Wampum, deep into the Blogathon, we are asked “When does it become a quagmire.”
Mark Kleiman is working at length on the Valerie Plame outing.
Halley is planning to be silent all day Sunday. And she has had fun commenting on the 100 Ways to Live Longer from Men’s Health Magazine.
A little shorter version. Just back from Pirates of the Carribean which was a lot of fun.
Good Night!


Are They or Aren’t They?

The Talking Dog read Pravda today and has wandered down an interesting conspiratorial path. You need to go there to read the good stuff. He raises interesting questions and I hope the Dog’s ending bark is the real one:

Let me just say that I hope American forces actually did get Q and U– if for no other reason, so that Iraqis need no longer live in fear of the Tikriti dynasty beyond the aging Saddam himself (even if supposedly 80% of Iraqis believe the photos are fake). Please, let’s not have fucked this one up too…


Late Night Reading

TBOGG looks at the posting habits of Andrew Sullivan. Too bad the link Sullivan originally commented on appears to have been “redacted.”
Seeing the Forest links to this Dean campaign speach delivered 3 days ago in Des Moines, Iowa. Hmmm, Kucinich last night, Dean tonight…will there be more in upcoming Late Night Reading?
ob Schap discusses Australia and the Solomon Islands.
Blah3 has been reading Mark Morford. So should you. Depending on your persuasion you’ll either laugh and say ‘right on’ or scream in rage as your blood pressure blows through 200.
Gregory Harris celebrated his 36,000th hit and links us to these Japanese Flash animations.
And in a reprise appearance Daniel Drezner, this time at the Volokh Conspiracy follows up on yesterday’s Marshall-Den Beste discussion on the roots of the Iraq war. Interestingly Drezner finds Marshall lacking on the ethical question side and spot on regarding the practical side of the Iraq problem. Again go read the discussions.


Flea Wars

Does your pet have fleas? Yep, they can be hard to eliminate. You can do it though. With diligence, focus, hard work and esprit de corp.

Serenity will take you through basic training with a real life case study!
