Flogging Blogs
Speaking of tsunamis, I want to draw everyone's attention to a cool, new feature on RealClearPolitics: RealClearBlogs.
(And I'm not just touting it because they linked us over the weekend. Well... not just because.)
Every day, they link to blogposts in three categories:
- Debates & Discussions
- Featured Blog Posts
- State & Local Blog Coverage
The first is the most interesting offering, for Jeff Pyatt... he runs RealClearBlogs, I think; either that or the Krispy Kreme in beautiful downtown Burbank; Jeff Pyatt pairs off bloggers who are fighting with -- pounding on -- snarling at -- brawling between -- kicking the -- engaging in civilized and refined debate about serious topics of the day, utilizing logical arguments that typically depend upon lead pipes, saps, poleaxes, stilettos, bowling balls, Samuel Colt's revolving pistol, brass knucks, brass bands, brass monkeys, nuclear hand grenades (50-foot throwing range, 5-mile blast radius), broadswords, hand and a half swords, rapiers, smallswords, running sores, ruining Soros, rotten eggs, rotten tomatoes, written puns, pans, pots and kettles -- especially those, both in basic black -- and once in a blue moon (does anybody besides me know what that actually means, without looking it up?) once in a blue moon, an actual rhetorical point.
It's a lot of fun; and hey -- nothin' beats fun! (Well, what does?) And yesterday, they even linked an anti-atheist column by none other than Chuck Norris... yes, that Chuck Norris, the guy I took karate from in 1960-mumble something. Parts II and III of III (I didn't see part I).
Here are some important fun facts about Chuck Norris.
So put on your manly gown, gird your loins, and pull up your socks... it's time to rock off to RealClearBlogs!
(Oh... and a "blue moon" is when two full moons appear in a single month, or else four in a quarter -- and it's the third moon of four that's the "blue" one. I knew there was a reason to read Moon and Stars and Stuff, the long-running astrology column by the incomparable science-fiction author and fantasist Fritz Leiber.)

Your timing is good: we're due another blue moon at the end of this month. So we ought to be prepared for a wave of unusual activity as the blue moon brings all kinds of rare occurences to fruition.

Ah Dafydd, you educate me in the most useful things. I did know about the second full moon of the month, but didn't know about four in one quarter, or that it would be the third one of that sequence. I now feel so smart that I may even be able to make sense out of the rest of the post.
