Mike's Blog Roundup
Hey everyone, I'm Bill Wolfrum from Williamkwolfrum.com, Shakesville.com, and WorldGolf.com,
and other assorted sites. I like long walks on the beach, gazing into the eyes of my spouse, tickling puppies, and linking your brains out. Being I'm not walking, gazing or tickling, it must be linking time.
Wally Whateley's House of Horrors: Who'd have imagined that writing a column in a major newspaper begging for the murder of thousands of Americans would draw such ire? But if another 9/11 would pull this country together, a nice Black Death would really unite Americans against the dangers of the world.
I Am Jack's Non Blog: Seems Jack decided a great way to spend the run-up to his birthday would be to dedicate several hundred hours
playing with the instantly infamous BlogWarBot.
Majikthise: Contrary to what the President says,we do torture.
Harp and Sword: Amazon apparently has no problem remaining in the dog-fighting business, which makes you think they'd be thrilled to see
the GOP run a Romney-Vick ticket.
Alas, a Blog: Should a headline scream "Whites now minorities in 1 of 10 counties" or "Whites still majorities in 90% of U.S. Counties"? Obviously,
even in the progressive blogosphere, minorities still have their work cut out for them.
Something to think about: My mother is a survivor of ovarian cancer. Her main assets in fending off the horrible disease - a indomitable attitude and early detection. So hats off to Eva Longoria, the Entertainment Industry Foundation and the Callaway Golf Foundation, who have worked to raise awareness and funds for ovarian cancer prevention, including a $1-million donation from Callaway. Finally, check out Love as a Found Object, the blog by talented author Leah Hager Cohen, dedicated to her mother's fight with the disease.

Everyone is talking about how great Rove is and how he divided the country and the democratic party over the wiretapping thing etc.
I must be a real dimwit because I just don't see how dividing the country is a good thing. What am I missing?
cont...They also had some numbnut on MSNBC saying how he wants to be with his "kids". He doesn't have "kids". Just one son that is off to college. They can't get their (spin) facts straight even on something as simple as that.
Janet @ 5:
He's talking about his under-aged boyfriends.
Good pieces on Bykofsky. I was out of town so I only got a chance to read that insane, idiotic column today. The linked pieces dissect him nicely, but he also seems to imply that Iraq was reponsible for 9/11, and ignores that all that lovely national and world unity was destroyed by - George W. Bush's divisive politics and most of all his invasion of Iraq! I'm still undecided as to how much Bykofsky is a fascist and how much he's just an idiot.
And a good shout-out for ovarian cancer prevention.
Getting upset because amazon.com is carrying animal fighting videos, books, etc is a slippery slope.
I have no interest in animal fighting, but I am interested in freedom of the press though.
I know the response is that if the activity is illegal, literature about the activity should be illegal as well. But where does it end?
Books containing cannabis cultivation information? Chemistry texts that contain information about creating explosive materials? Computer programming books containing information on how to exploit firewalls?
Animal cruelty is a hot button issue for a lot of folks though and animal lovers have big hearts. I'm just saying that foresight is important on this.
You forgot the daily reminder of who invented the word "blogtopia". I think it was T Rex.

PinPom:
While I respect your support of the First Amendment, I think that we can agree that books or magazines that support illegal activity deserve our scorn. And, BTW, no one is saying that these people can't publish their filth. But Amazon should do the responsible thing and NOT support them! So, I think they shouldn't offer books on how to cross computer firewalls, or any other criminal activity. These deviants can get that info from someplace else!
I abandoned Amazon in 2004, after the election, when I discovered their right-wing politics. I told people about it, why I changed, but didn't scorn ayone, or force anyone, to change. But this is beyond the pale. I sent the letter to about 20 friends and family members and will push them to change to B-N or Powells. Unless Amazon changes their ways.
[...] I suspect it IS true in the blogosphere, though; and today I found an ounce of proof: someone has come up with an argument clinic that does John Cleese proud. (Hat tip to Crooks and Liars.) [...]
