Notes from the Z-List

A brief roundup of some worthwhile (and overlooked) posts from our fellow Z-list bloggers:

  • William K. Wolfrum on the pretense of an epic battle of civilizations: "The “Epic Battle of Civilizations” can be defined in one word: narcissism....An “Epic Battle of Civilizations?” Please. Stop thinking so highly of yourself."

  • Jaye, of Winding Road in Urban Area, on executing Saddam: "Is that what this war is about? Executing an old man? The most executing-est governor in the history of the Great State of Texas, God bless her, has gone global."

  • S. W. Anderson, of Oh!pinion, on the Democrats standing up to Big Pharma: "We can’t overstate the importance of this change from the standpoint of simple justice.....In fact, a political sea change is taking place in America and it’s about a lot of things. Soft-core corruption like that which went into the prescription drug law is one of those things."

  • Aaron Barlow, of One Flew East, on the question war supporters should have asked: "...it was no ‘close call’ in determining to support or oppose the invasion. It was only a close call (if then) if one did not ask one significant question: 'What do we do if we fail?'"

  • Generik, of The Generik Brand, compares James Brown and Gerald Ford: "Does it make me a bad person to say that I find the loss of James Brown more disconcerting than the loss of Gerald Ford?"
Post links to other good Z-list stuff (including your own, if you like) in comments.
