There's just no reason for me to post to this blog daily. None at all. If I did, my posts would amount to little more than items cribbed from the blogs I read daily. For instance:

Andrew Sullivan drew my attention to William Kristol's wonderful piece about the Iraqi/al Qaeda link in the Weekly Standard.

Sullivan also mentioned that James Lileks had taken a look at Rex Reed's critique of Fahrenheit 9/11. James Lileks is by far my favorite columnist, and his comments about Reed's review had me alternatingly in stitches and seeing red. Speaking of red, if you're pressed for time, scroll down Lileks page to the red text to read the comments about Rex Reed.

Arthur Chrenkoff is, as usual, indispensable. At this point, if I don't read him daily, I feel conspicuously uninformed. Among other things, today he mentioned Nicolas Rothwell's fascinating report from Iraq in The Australian.

At Instapundit.com, I found out about a Robert Tagorda item that makes Bill Clinton look good in the only way possible: by comparing him to Al Gore.

Honestly, if you're reading my blog and you've not read Sullivan, Chrenkoff, or Instapundit first, you're wasting time. Think of my blog as an amateur’s op-ed column. Think of Sullivan, Chrenkoff, and Instapundit (and a host of other blogs) as essential.
