A brief roundup of some worthwhile (and overlooked) posts from our fellow Z-list bloggers:
- Sinfonian, of Blast Off, on the Justice Department's bogus terrorism statistics: "Two of 26, folks. That's 7.7%. That's like batting .077 -- depending on your perspective, either a 'prolonged slump or 'go back to Double-A ball because you suck out loud.'"
- Betty Cracker has some interesting thoughts on retirement communities: "...when seniors seal themselves off from the world in these enclaves, the community outside the walls of their gated "village" is robbed of a resource, and the old folks themselves become estranged from the actual community."
- Jfaber, of Rooted Cosmopolitans, on an airline passengers' bill of rights: "Since 9/11, airline passengers have been stripped of just about any right to complain about anything while on board a flight. Passengers have very few rights whatsoever with regard to any instruction from the crew. If the airlines refuse to implement policies to protect their interests, than it is the proper role of Congress to step in and take over."
- William K. Wolfrum, on the continuing dominance of the neo-cons: "And regardless of whether the “pundits” and “policymakers” admit to their wrong doings, or just lie about whether they wanted war, like Michael Ledeen, the fact is, they still believe in what they preached leading up to invading Iraq, and they still believe they’re winning."
- Jhupp at Unique Like Everybody, writes about the National Review's new anti-Gore blog: "... either these guys are determined to go down with the ship, or they're really working hard to prevent a Gore candidacy. That's fear."
- Terrell of Alone on a Limb writes about George Washington's response to terrorism: "When the Hessians brutally pounded, hacked, and pierced wounded American soldiers during the Revolution, George Washington could have responded with similar tactics but instead Washington commanded that American soldiers would, in the face of incredible terrorism, treat these heartless enemies civilly."
