Added a link to
Granny D's homepage under "Blogs". She's the 90-year old woman who walked from Pasadena, CA to Washington, DC to promote Campaign Finance Reform. She's written and spoken a lot since then, with an eloquence and power that puts most to shame.
Technically her page isn't a blog, but who's counting?

That wacky recall. My probability of supporting Arnold dropped significantly after he
refused to participate in
debate with the other candidates. I really couldn't care less who he
groped; it might not be the action of a gentleman, but there are more important qualifications to govern than chivalry. By refusing to show up, he may be blowing his lead among Republicans to
Tom McClintock, an ideological partner of last year's whipping boy Bill Simon. All signs point to Bustamante, dumb as he is... unless, of course,
Arianna Huffington starts a miracle drive. Then, with McClintock neutralizing Arnold, Huffington splitting with Bustamante on the left, and Larry Flynt kept from monopolizing the porn-hound vote by Mary Carey, Gary Coleman will be in prime position to take the reins.
Who came up with this system again?

Whaddya know? The middle east in chaos again? Who woulda thunkit? After everybody spent a week or so blowing each other up for no good reason (it's just so fun!), Palestinian PM Abbas has
resigned in disgust at all involved. Hey, what else is he going to do? His President just wants to wave him around while plotting to blow up Israel, the Israelis are trying to find a way to shoot around him (what are they going to do, hold fire? As if), and the US is preoccupied with contemplation of its own navel. Abbas was screwed from the start - it's surprising he held out as long has he did. I hold no hope that the fighting will stop as long as there's anybody left to fight.
