Strolling through blogland:Lots of stuff going on at Dr. Weevil's, including Iraqi playing card updates.
Common Sense and Wonder isn't sure about Canada's quarantining of a high school.
A Dog's Life has an interesting read on the Rick Bragg mess at the NYT (motto: All the news that we can copy down.).
Den Beste has a nice explanation of why you can't map political positions on a one-dimensional axis (i.e. a line). Favorite comment:
Once I start looking at myself on this kind of basis, it becomes easier for me to explain why I oppose Jerry Falwell and Noam Chomsky equally. I'm conservative (within the context of the US) and they're both revolutionaries. I'm liberal and they're both elitists. I'm a realist and they're both idealists. I'm tolerant (or I like to think I am) and they both believe in conformism.I used to refer to myself as conservative because I'm an American with something like an 18th c. European liberal outlook and it was too much trouble getting into the minutiae of what that entailed; it was the regular trotting out of Falwell as an example of "conservative" that led me to give up the label and drift about as a "moderate libertarian" until I found Postrel's term, "dynamist".
