New Blog Watch

m2 has a blog. Apparently a lot of people already know that, since people have visited my site from his about forty times in the last twenty-four hours, but I thought I'd make it official.

I have also found two new (to me) blogs to which I give a cautious recommendation: Virtual Stoa, a socialist blog with a decidedly classical bent, and Socialism in an Age of Waiting, a more activist-oriented blog. Virtual Stoa is especially interesting in that it actually deals with philosophical issues once in a while. For example, today when I checked it, there was a lengthy post about Gramsci, with some remarks in the comment section about Hegel and some other social theorists.

Finally, "The Economics of Pound's Canto 45", by D-Squared (with whom I once grappled in my never ending quest to defend the obscurantism of tenured radicals), is my personal pick to win the Koufax Award for Best Post by a Left-Wing Blogger in 2003. (Awards linked via everyone's favorite good-natured lefty Christian blogger.)

UPDATE: I just looked at my web page stats, and apparently I get several referrals from people looking for "names for cats" on Google -- my article "Good Names for Cats" is actually in the top ten results for that query. If any readers get to this page today from my cat page, please leave comments to that effect and let me know if you end up using any of my names. | Main Page
