Bill's Big Bloviating Blog takes issue with Roger Waters (late of Pink Floyd) and his politics. I agree with Bill on the issue, but I guess I'm a rock-star sympathizer. I just don't expect these guys to really know what the hell they're talking (singing) about. It comes with the turf. Waters' album Amused To Death is one of my favorites of the past decade... and, politically, the album is somewhere to the left of Jerry Brown.

Arthur Chrenkoff is probably the MVP of blogspot. His latest round-up of good news from Iraq provides perspective you won't get anywhere else. Watch the news, read the papers... but then check out Chrenkoff for the whole picture.

And MuD & PHuD has good news for America, as well.

Weapon of Mass Distraction found some interesting info from Matt Drudge. Do Republicans want to do away with the IRS? I'm not entirely libertarian, but I am open to considering the idea.

Let me go ahead and come out of the closet on this issue, too: Yeah, I'm one of those nutcase right-to-lifers. No, I don't stand on the street screaming at people as they go into Planned Parenthood, and yes, I can conceive of hypothetical instances where abortion makes sense... nonetheless, abortion as birth control strikes me as inherently evil. I do believe strongly in the right to choose, though. If you aren't at a point in your life where you could provide for a baby if one is conceived, exercise your right to choose not to have sex. Anyway, this item at Say Anything really fired me up. No, I'm not ready to bomb a clinic, but as a parent and a human being, I am pissed off.

Is Michael Moore a Republican mole? The Therapy Sessions has an interesting argument. Not saying I buy it, mind you... but I did stroke my chin and frown and raise my eyebrows while reading it. That's gotta count for something.

I found some good reading for us P.J. fans at The Commons.

And there's a new "Best Of" edition out at Homespun as well.
