Friday night blogjam
I've been traveling all week, consumed most of an excellent bottle of wine this evening, and now I'm hoisted up in the Lay-Z-Boy double recliner watching the various television programs that we TiVo each week. What better circumstances than to pump out a blogjam?
Sir Humphrey's is concerned about staging photographs of soldiers for publicity purposes (per Ace).
Myrtus, my favorite Berber bar none, points us to this post by Beirut Spring, which reports on growing sentiment in the Arab world for normalizing relations with Israel (much more from Saturday's Lebanon Daily Star here). Why should this be happening now? Because "apostate" Arab regimes, labelled as the enemy by al Qaeda and as such lumped with Israel and the United States, have decided that the enemy of their enemy is their friend.
What American would go to this trouble to vote?
Smash has an early round-up of Iraqi referendum links. Major K talks about the referendum with an Iraqi who installs satellite television dishes for a living. And he has some interesting observations about the demand for electricity and its implications for the power supply.
Tom Kirkendall revels in the courtroom failures of the Lord of Regulation.
Mover Mike has a bunch of posts up on the Refco disaster. Just keep scrolling.
Jim of Parkway Rest Stop buys a new washing machine. Heh.
Sabbah links to the Arab world's first gay and lesbian magazine.
Regular TigerHawk commenter Screwy Hoolie looks at Hillary Clinton's fundraising prowess. Note that she seems to be raising a lot of money via very small contributions, which is usually what Republicans do. Screwy's somewhat unruly co-blogger Uptown Ruler rejoices in Bill Frist's legal troubles. Uptown thinks that this is all about greed, cronyism, and corporate pandering. Since he is a regular reader of TigerHawk, he knows that I think that Frist did the right thing by HCA's stockholders. Apparently he disagrees.
There has been a great disturbance in the blogosphere. And I am sad.
Now I have to do the dishes.

Don't be sad, TH. Maybe the rest of you can finally get a word in edgewise :)
