A few weeks ago, using Avedon Carol's blogroll, I posted this:

below are a list of blogs that I would appreciate being blogrolled from, and that I think the content here is appropriate to be blogrolled from on a regular basis. And I'd provide a link back, obviously. I'm mostly curious as to whether anyone will salute such an approach - you know, blog barter diplomacy.

It worked better than I expected - and I've added several blogs to the blogroll due to it, and so, I thought I'd try it again. This time, I'll use Skippy's blogroll, as seen below:

(yeah, it's a huge list)

Not surprising.

And some other items of interest:

If you're so inclined, there's a debate tonight with Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Edwards, Chris Dodd, Joe Biden, Bill Richardson, Dennis Kucinich and Mike Gravel.

Best line about Rich Little's "comedy" performance at the Correspondents Dinner, from a commenter at Balloon Juice:

"If Rich Little was actually funny he would have come up onto stage with a perfect Stephen Colbert impression and destroyed the whole bunch again."

Well, at least Turner County High School eventually had an integrated prom. Or will have, in 2007. You know, CNN is in Georgia, you'd think they would have reported on this story in their backyard before today.

My neighbor has this sort of fungus growing in his mulch.

Condi gets her subpoena. About time.

Great question, rarely gets asked. What does "win" mean for the United States in Iraq?

Good to know the Top Ten Internet Crimes of 2006 so you're not a victim of it in 2007.

I haven't seen much this year to recommend the NBA, either.

Don't drink anything while watching, because this is full of spit-takes.

Some stories you may have missed:

Waste is a design flaw.

Apparently, THIS is the biggest mass murder in U.S. History, back in 1927. Oh, and opposition to higher taxes was involved.

BlueGrassRoots states that Windows Vista sucks.

Note to Philadelphia - unemployment rates seems to track national patterns, not local economic development projects.

I love this version of "My Generation".

I'm so sick of MoDo. How would she like it if the press regularly uncovered worthless tidbits of her life that were implied as values as to how she does her job? What kind of tampons does she buy? Does she get her eyebrows waxed? How many times a day does she brush her teeth?

Here's another question - how much money did Washington spend on his hair? How much did Lincoln spend on his hats? How about FDR and those cigarette holders?

So much out there, it's easy to do, especially when a story like Virginia Tech dominates so much thought and conversation. Check them out:

Who will be the first to go: Gonzales or Wolfowitz?

I wish I had enough money to buy a mammoth. I wouldn't buy one, but wish I had the cash.

Good for Home Depot, who have embarked what they claim will be the largest green labeling program in American retailing.

I wonder after the whole Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction thing if nipple jewelry sales increased.

Can you feel the inflation?

Kucinich knows the order for impeachment. Cheney first.

When the public knows so little about what occurred at Virginia Tech today, what is the upside of blogging speculation that it could be terrorist-related? I guess I really don't understand why, when in a position of ignorance that most of us are currently in about the facts of the case, somebody would do this.

Thivai posted a pretty humorous image.

One of the things about this concept of "brain drain" is that there's been so little research into what actually causes it. Are people that get a considerably higher education more likely to move around, or chase warmer climates, or do people who are more interested in living in various places and chasing warmer climates more likely to get a considerably higher education? I'm all for bringing better paying jobs into Pennsylvania, but I think there should be an emphasis on homegrowing them rather than importing them...

Attention local governments: it was the zoning laws that prevented Al Gore from installing solar panels. Wake up!

Did you know that atheists and agnostics have the lowest divorce rate out of all religiously labeled groups?

Effect Measure found a pretty cool story about flu vaccine made in insect cells.

Watch out for falling 300 pound men.

I think this is a pretty interesting idea. I'd like to see more city and town managers have a blog.

Archy has an interesting post about how the Greeks made things to last, and what it did to their economy.

Cernig is snatching up quality bloggers for group blogging. Folks I like... first Sha, now Fester...

Congrats!

Just an experiment.

I don't know about you, but I miss her web creativity on this day.
