Sunday Blogging

Lots of bloggers are back at their keyboards. A few, like Avedon Carol at Sideshow, never left. In addition to her own insights on a wide variety of topics (today she rails against those who said we would make the women of Afganistan Iraq more free when in many ways the opposite has occurred), she is an excellent chronicler of what others are writing about.

Patridiot Watch writes about U.S. troops killed in Afghanistan.

Matt Yglesias names some underappreciated blogs on national security and foreign policy.

TBogg has another installment of America's Worst Mother.

    Argh, Jeralyn, fix that! For a minute you acutally had me wondering, "F**k, did I really write 'Afghanistan'"? I realize these days it's hard to tell Afghanistan and Iraq apart, but I was actually talking about Iraq, which used to be unlike Afghanistan. [Many apologies, I corrected it.]

    “Real news,” said Richard Reeves “is the news you and I need to keep our freedoms.” I am reminded of that line from the news photographer in Tom Stoppard’s play Night and Day : “People do terrible things to each other, but its worse in places where everybody is kept in the dark.”
