Major Blogrollage
The blogosphere lost it’s go-to guy for links and What’s Hot when Glenn went back on vacation. Then Lileks got busy on his new book, which I, for one, will be buying; it sounds like marvelous fun. And while I’m not up there with those guys, I hate to report to my delightfully addicted readership that I’ll be blogging half as much most of the time from now until the wedding.
But fear not! There are lots of excellent blogs out there you should be reading more often. Mike Hendrix is The Man when you want a six pack of truth. Read Juan Gato for an honest belly laugh. And, of course, Dawn Olsen can make you comfortably squirmy — now that she’s back from Hawaii, bitch.
See all those links on the left? I try to visit each one of them every single day. They’re all good — that’s why they’re linked.
So quit complaining and check’em all out already.
UPDATE: I forgot to mention a couple things. First, unless there’s a war on, summer is just a slow news time. August will be worse, what with Congress in recess and the President (I imagine) back in Crawford. And in case you’re wondering, his Crawford ranch is certainly wired well enough to run a shooting war in Iraq, so don’t let a “vacation” fool you.
Secondly, even if he weren’t working on his new book, Lileks would have earned a two-week reprieve from blogging just for using the phrase “Bergen-Belsen whistles” last week. That turn of phrase was so viciously beautiful that I damn near wet myself. I’d link to it in case you missed that particular Bleat, but Lileks left us without a way to access his archives.
Cruel, man, just cruel.
So how was the diving? Glad to see you didn’t freeze to death. I got my certification last summer in the lovely tropical waters off Papua New Guinea. My only dive since then was in a muddy hole here in East Texas, so I’m quite jealous of anyone who gets to dive in anything better.
Bitch? Bitch? Dude where is the love – I shared pictures and how much I missed you all and I get a ‘bitch’.
That will be the last time I make the entire family sit through the best of Steely Dan four times just so I could think of you.
Bitch:)
Dawn, I fully expect you to think “Bastard!” while I’m off in Jamaica without you.
That’s just how it works, hon.
*ponders the likelihood of soon getting to Jamaica or Hawaii on his meager salary…*
Bitches. Bastards.
“Bergen-Belsen whistles” for you, sir.

Thanks, Keith!
There will be a link button on the Bleat page tomorrow, but of course there’s always the main index page.

Your available free time is impressive.
Hey, don’t foget the ‘coelacanth’ reference on Friday of that same week. Pure gold
Oooh! I’ve been annointed by the Interior Desecrator himself. (grin)
