THE BLOGROLL AT PRESENT

This is what's left after getting rid of all the anti-Obama nutballs, the many discontinued blogs, the irrationals, people who bored or irritated me, blogs that made me wonder what the hell I was thinking at the time, and snooty blogs that now are 'read-by-invitation-only'.

It is far shorter than a few hours ago.
I did some house cleaning.
It was time.

Yes, a few links here are to my own stuff. That is just a manifestation of editorial privilege. But if your blog is still here, it's because you or your material mean something to me, and while we may disagree at times (or all the damned time), I find you to be a refreshing read.
Or sometimes a kick in the pants.


Those of you who haven't posted anything in ages, but are still on the list, are all people whom I consider friends. You know who you are.

  • If you're new to this blog, but really think that your own blog should be included, keep in mind that I may not have encountered you yet. Please feel free to introduce yourself. I am always keen to find new sources of quirky data, unique points of view, sharp commentary, silly opinions, or entertainment.


    Heck, even Hello Kitty stuff, as long as it makes me giggle.


    Here's Hello Kitty right after waking up.




    Just wait till she's had some coffee.

    Bad hair day.
