blogrolling notes
Bill Crider notes that independent gubernatorial candidate Kinky Friedman has made the New Yorker, and he provides a handy link. Bill also notes there's another statue of Nolan Ryan in Alvin that's evidently taken care of better than the one in front of Alvin City Hall.
Tom Kirkendall notes that Rober Ebert has come out with his "most hated" movie list but doesn't agree that "The Usual Suspects" should be on it. As for me, I can't understand why "Coneheads" didn't make the list. Also, I'd like to place on the record that I made the mistake of paying about 17 bucks for "The Life Aquatic" DVD a few weeks ago and just got around to watching it. It blows.
Slampo re-addresses a Chronicle's sportswriter's complaint about the mispronunciation of the names of Hispanic players and takes notes of an interesting politically correct correction in the NY Times. Love that Slampo.
Michael Yon files another dispatch from Mosul. This guy's a heck of a reporter/blogger if you ask me. If I was running a big city newspaper, I think I'd see if I had anyone on staff willing to do this kind of reporting/blogging. It's a pretty big story, but I could be wrong.
