With that, it looks like my laptop keyboard problems have resolved themselves. I pried up the key covers and slowly, delicately removed the accumulated dust. When that didn’t work, I pounded angrily on the “E” key about a hundred times. That appears to have done the trick. So here are the random bits of my life the blog has missed.
§ I hope to blog the Top Chef that I missed. The plan all along was to take time off from my various tasks to hit that, but the computer glitch made it impossible. For now, another cute one gone.
§ YearlyKos wrapped up and Ego-in-Chief Markos Moulitsas is taking a victory lap. He apparently debated Harold Ford on Meet the Press today, though I won’t see it until the MSNBC rebroadcast tonight. He and Susan Gardner also have an Op-Ed in WaPo about how Kossacks are right and everyone else is wrong.
§ One good antidote to Kossism is the E.J. Dionne piece about Ted Strickland which is here if you haven't seen it yet. Key quote: “Strickland has capital to spend because he has combined progressive goals with a moderate demeanor and a cheerful approach to potential adversaries”
§ Barry Bonds* succeeded in smearing The Cream all over the most hallowed record in baseball. People have been walking away from the sport in droves, and now thanks to Barry* they now have another reason to.
§ Some time ago a satirical hate-yourself-for-laughing piece about the Akron Barbie collection started showing up in email inboxes and on a couple of blogs. Eric Mansfield (on his old blog platform) wondered out loud where it came from. I still don’t know, but it appears to have been adapted from a bit about SoCal Barbies, with Pomona Barbie converted to Goodyear Heights Barbie, etc. Still don't know who did the original or who adapted it for the 'Kron.
§ Are the Troothers fading from the ProgressOhio scene? A recent Troother post garnered all of two comments, both anti. Happy to see that.
§ Link Additions. I’ve added Watchdevil and Liberal Candy to the sidebar. Both are in the Akron Blogroll, plus I put Watchdevil in Ohio Progressives and Liberal Candy in the Think Globally list (the difference being that Watchdevil does local stories when it fits his beat.)
§ I also added Howard Empowered People to The Nationals. It’s a pretty solid group of folks, including some fellow
§ Since I complained so vehemently about the new Ohio.com political blogs, I should note that the Young Professionals Loop is solid. I especially like this latest post about what’s good about living in
