Readers of this site will, hopefully, note several new entries in the link columns. Briefly summarized:
ADDITIONS
The Edge of England's Sword - Billed as 'Voices from the Anglosphere', this particular blog piqued my interest by trying to cover an 'Anglospheric' perspective. Inasmuch as I'm favorably inclined towards the idea of such an entity, I'll read that one. If you're wondering just what the heck an 'Anglosphere' is, see An Anglosphere Primer for more information. I, being an American who thinks a fair amount of Teddy Roosevelt, am somewhat suspicious of a call for America to downgrade "hemispherist" ambitions.*
Dixie Flatline - The author of this blog claims to be a Berkeley Law graduate and he takes a fighting rightist tone to various issues. I haven't figured out how to delve into his archive, but on the merits of what I saw yesterday and today, I'll give the guy a link.
USS Clueless - Steven Den Beste's blog seems to be one of those ubiquitous blogs that everyone links to. Well, there's probably a reason. He's another one of these chaps who can expound at length on a variety of things, and he seems to be an intelligent fellow. His piece on George Catlett Marshall, Thomas E. Dewey, and the politicization of intelligence essentially made the decision for me. If you get the chance, read what left me almost awed at the personal sacrifice Governor Dewey made in order to further America's fortunes at war. That's bipartisanship, ladies and gentlemen.**
DELETIONS
Generally Speaking - I like lots of information and a variety of viewpoints. It's helpful in making the best decision. However, some of the recent content at the Wesley Clark blog has either gone into the sophomoric adoration that is typical of any good candidacy, or into the mania that exists somewhere on the level of "Bush eats children". It's stultifying, and the signal-to-noise ratio there is too much to bear. As a result, the Clark blog is cut.
