Nothing's abuzz?
Well, I finally found the time for a post, but things are looking kind of sleepy in the blogosphere right now, and I'm on the verge of sleep myself. Not much earth-shaking news (you know it's bad when the front page shows a cicada buzzing President Bush's head!), and it seems the media is taking a break from anti-gun stories, so my blogfather Jeff didn't write a forced Weekly Check on the Gun Bias (but read this and this). Still, Jeff's having a ball with the biker candidate John Kerry, who's having a hell of a time trying to decide whether to be nominated. What are they waiting for, anyway? Another terrorist attack? Hope this isn't the calm before the storm.... As to the cicadas' harassment of Bush being front page news, I will have my readers know that my dog Puff has plenty of experience with the buggers. The last time a cicada decided to sit on my knee while I had my camera handy, Puff was happily, unsuspectingly, sitting in the yard. The perspective shows them to be about the same size. But eventually (with a little prompting), Puff came over to investigate. When the cicada moved, Puff suddenly lurched at the thing, and his head was a blur: I told him the cicada was his friend, and he calmed down -- just a bit -- allowing me to take a more civilized photograph. Well, I had to calm him down a bit: Cicadas cause indigestion, you know.... (At least, so says the Inky, which always keeps the bugosphere informed.) On second thought, the book can't just be Bill Clinton's What I Did About Al Qaida, or else it will have to go on this list. posted by Eric on 05.26.04 at 11:28 PM

Since you're in a lull between storms, or no news is good news, or whatever, here's something you might be interested in, or _somebody_ might be interested in, some big warblogger like Glenn Reynolds (Instapundit) or Andrew Sullivan or Charles Johnson (Little Green Footballs) or Dean Esmay or James Lileks or _somebody_. Arthur Silber (Light of Reason) wrote this humongous series on our current foreign policy and its ramifications over a year ago, and he has never got any response. I know _I'm_ not knowledgeable enough, but you, or one of those warbloggers I named above, or _somebody_, ought to be able to address the issues he raises. Steven Malcolm Anderson the Lesbian-worshipping gun-loving selfish aesthete · May 27, 2004 05:50 PM If you're running out of cicadas, Eric, I've got plenty here to spare. I'll be glad to send some your way. Boyd · May 27, 2004 09:47 PM The plague of cicadas is obviously divine retribution for the hijinks in Massachusettts! On a more serious note, nice to put a face (well actually a knee and a set of garden furniture) to the name... Toby · May 28, 2004 03:06 AM |
