Lair link whoring:
“NZ Bear went from being a highly observant and astute individual blogging to nothing more than an emcee for his link-engines, a mechanic enslaved by the prison of his own design. He broke free from it. I nearly shit myself with glee, but I made it to the bathroom in time.”
It wasn’t quite a prison… I have this nice big comfy desk chair, and coffee and beer, and… nevermind.
Thanks Lair. For the kind words, er, not for the extra ‘sharing’.

The Reason that Dare Not Speak Its Name
And the #1 reason to hope Kerry does, in fact, become the Democratic nominee:
To ensure that continues in his current agitatedly inspired state of frustrated indignation. You can just picture him gnawing on a pencil somewhere everytime Kerry takes a state or morbidly intones “Bring…it…on!” — or worse, does both simultaneously.
I lack faith that Kaus could sustain the kind of gleefully meanspirited commentary he’s treated us to for the last few weeks were Edwards to somehow end up with the nomination. Because Edwards is, you know, nice.
Unless, of course, we could convince Edwards to simultaneously attack welfare reform and declare his love for the Chrysler 300’s tail lights… it’s a valid Plan B to fall back on, I suppose…
Jane on Old Babies
Hey, look, and Mindles haven’t been posting much either, so that makes me feel slightly less inadequate. But Jane has a sage post on adoption that contained a nugget of wisdom that hadn’t occurred to me, and is well worth your time.
