Mike's Blog Round Up
November 22, 2015

The worst of times often brings out the best of people. Thanks to the work of 28 or so stellar bloggers we looked not only at the big news event, but the secondary and tertiary stories to give depth and meaning to our understanding of what happened, and what might happen next.

Reprieve tells the story of what it took for one Bosnian child to become a refugee in the United States. It's not so easy.

Every goddamn day answers his mail.

Rogue Columnist looks at Arizona's long-standing relationship with immigrants and refugees.

Bonus Tracks: Oregon Beer Snob has an idea so stupid it just might work!

Last Word: Nitty Gritty Dirt Man puts our week into eloquent and elegiac perspective. He’s an excellent gardening blogger, too!

Round-up by Tengrain who blogs at Mock, Paper, Scissors and at Liberaland. You can follow Tengrain on the electric Twitter machine, too. Send tips, requests, and suggestions to mbru@crooksandliars.com (with "For MBRU" in the subject line).
