1. Silicon valley Jim:Thank you for the links! Iowahawk was superb – Midwestern humor at its finest. I must remember to check him more often.
May 13, 2005 - 7:40 am 2. RBMN:Iowahawk, on the NYT:
True especially if the point of view has been laying around getting moldy, since Watergate.
May 13, 2005 - 8:02 am 3. Sandy P:OT via biased-bbc:
Roger, you have a compatriot, the now former Guardial columnist, he also walked off the reservation:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/Columnists/Column/0,5673,1480192,00.html
…As apostasy goes, this is extraordinary. Clark was a caricature loyalist in the heady days after 97, always plus Blairiste que le Blair, and now here she is, ripping into her former leader. What a crossing-over!
For those who want to say it, I’m there before you. Haven’t I also moved, like Clark, from my former leftiness, to become – as one BBC presenter put it to me – a “cheerleader for George Bush”, an apologist for US imperialism, a British neocon, a neoliberal, and all that?…
May 13, 2005 - 9:08 am 4. Kyda Sylvester:Like the corpses that lazily bob along in the nearby East River, life obeys its own pace in this isolated island community of 8 million in southern New York State.
When you read an opening like that, you gotta know great stuff will follow. Hilarious, Iowahawk, and oh so true.
And from Sandy P’s link above: All of a sudden I began to experience the left from the outside. And the first thing that struck me was its capacity for smug certainty and uniformity of response. Just so. Welcome to the beginning of wisdom, Mr. Aaronovitch–you’re in excellent company.

May 13, 2005 - 10:39 am 6. Kyda Sylvester:And from Clive Davis’ normblog profile:
What would you do with the UN? > Suspend America’s Security Council veto for a year, give China six extra votes and then see how long the peaceniks enjoy the new world order.
Great stuff.
May 13, 2005 - 10:40 am 7. Bruce W.:Iowahawk’s description of Maureen Dowd is an instant classic:
“While her particular production skill – breezy schoolgirl political chat sprinkled with 1979 pop culture references – has long lost its usefulness, she remains ready to help others pundits should they ever need a childish nickname for a Bush administration official.”
Dead on and painful.
Thanks Roj
