Making The Weblog more blogical
John Ashcroft is the worst attorney general ever. Eugene Volokh is the only smart right-wing blogger, and he has decided not to write about torture. Kieran Healy declares preemptive war on obnoxious frequent flyers, bloggers who don't link to his posts, and other miscreants. Chun the Unavoidable writes about the Pistons and Clinton's plan for preemptive war in Iran. Amardeep Singh interrogates the utility of the term postmodern. Michael Bérubé exposes Dinesh D'Souza as a total hack (and meanwhile, his manservant has updated the template).
Matthew Yglesias weighs in on a sensible compromise for those whose gipperporn addiction can be satisfied by nothing less than seeing the man's mug on some money. Once again, m2 takes the liberty of summarizing his co-bloggers' posts. The Young Hegelian quotes Adorno on sports (and by the way, start reading his blog, damn it). Ogged quotes The New Criterion (John Holbo's favorite source of real literary criticism) on the cowardly Spaniards -- who, if we'll remember, took to the streets following their terrorist attack, while we all had to be told that it was okay to go back to work -- and Fontana Labs destroys Dave Eggers' soul.
The world wants to know: Is Cap'n Pete dead? At The University Without Condition, the discussion of Kafka continues at a breakneck pace. Neal Pollack is still alive and blogging, and A Tiny Revolution is so good that I might have to confess to some envy this Friday. Finally, à Gauche reports on his experience in the very bowels of hell.
