Because it's Wednesday (or was, just a bit ago) I stopped over at the New Blog Showcase to check out this week's offerings to the Gods of Suck (oh, wait--that's Bonfire of the Vanities, my bad)--er, this week's entrants, and there are only four so far. Interestingly enough, all three entries in the political category are newbie Alliance members (the ink's still wet on the loyalty oath for two of them!).
First up we have the adorable (gives Daniel a run for his money in the cutie-pie department) Dan K O'Leary with Bush, Saddam and Howard Dean. Apparently the mention of the Amazing Howard in the title caused an influx of lefties, two of whom left comments attempting to edjumicate poor Dan...
[Update: Dan fires back! Nice barrage!]
Next is Justin with The Politics of the Lord of the Rings. This was a very good post! Nice job, Justin!
The third is Son Shade's entry, not a political entry at all, and overloaded with language that makes the Emperor look mealy-mouthed...I really didn't "get" this post, except as an illustration that taking drugs makes you stupid, and blogging about it makes you look even stupider. I suspect this post will appeal strongly to the hippies of the LoL and PC Coalition (Muhahaha...). However, because I think Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back is one of the funniest movies ever made (and because he joined the Alliance) I gave him a pity link....
Aside: As you may recall, one of the leading vote-getters in last week's Showcase was disqualified for not linking to three other posts. I suspect that, because of the way their blogs are set up, both Dan and Son Shade are going to have problems with their votes registering. I recommend to both of these two that they post their New Blog Showcase votes in their blogroll to make sure they get counted...
Update: There is now a political entry from the PC Coalition! I'll let you find "In Praise of Taxes" on your own...
Update part deux: Another political entry Howard Dean's Point. You must read this, even if you only look at the pictures! The man looks like he could really use some ex-lax....
I couldn't easily find the post in the non-political category, the permalinks being bogsplotted, but the blub was pretty long. It was kind of boring...
