What Do I Know?: Friday Llama Blogging

What Do I Know, Anyway?

About Me
I am an American living in Britain, a beautiful island in the North Atlantic. (more)
What To Eat?
An index of my vegan recipes. See? Not deprived.
Where To Go?
A list of my travel articles.
Wednesday Food Blogging
My new food blog, where I post all the food news and recipes I used to publish here. (Not just on Wednesday, either.)
Best of WDIK
If my blog were burning, these are the posts I'd save.

Plan to vote? Read these links first!

The secret to Obama's success
Turns out it's the secret to most everyone's success: smarts.
Before the surge
There was the Anbar Awakening. Not the other way around, Sen. McCain.
Obama's Uncle Charlie
Fascinating interview with the man who helped liberate a Nazi death camp.
Obama's fat cat donors
Repeat: I. Am. Barack. Obama's. Special. Interest.
Maliki agrees with Obama
"We're f*cked" says one Republican operative.
Confusing the issue
Why Czechoslovakia matters.
Where are the loud liberals when you need them?
Here's something to howl about.
It's 3 a.m. Your children are safe and asleep...
Who's answering the email?
Lessig puts it in perspective
Obama's "flip-flopping" I mean. A must-read.
The Unity President?
RJ Eskow speculates--overspeculates?--on Obama's core value. Interesting reading.
McCain's adultery
Know the truth.
This is not a Viagra ad
So go ahead and click. You really want to hear what McCain has to say about Viagra ...uhh...uhhh...hmm...actually, he doesn't remember how he voted on that issue.
Obama keeps tacking left
While the media accuses him of tacking center. Sounds about perfect to me.
Last word on FISA
I promise.
"Do you think we'll be able to save our trailer?"
Something tells me this woman doesn't give a flip about FISA, or any of the other issues people are ready to throw themselves on the alter of purity for.
What this election is about
Hint: Not FISA, or any other fringe issues.
The real deal
A literary critic reads Obama's books.
Obama's brain trust
A president with a brain. Imagine that!
Upset over Telco immunity?
Then read Kleiman. As always, he makes sense.
Send Barack your baby
"What would you like Senator Obama to do with your baby? Kiss? Hug? Give hope?" I'm pretty sure this is legit.
Why Hillary lost
I missed this earlier, but it's a pretty good analysis.
Wow. Just wow.
Great piece of writing, on FISA, but really on much, much more.
The loud silence of feminists
Solidarity is for white women, apparently
Not safe for work video
But hilarious nevertheless.
Obama, the Great Listener
From a UC colleague
New word for the day:
Sophrosyne. Obama's got it.
The Audacity of Stealth Reading
Libraries, dentists' offices, your grandmother's book club...all likely targets for stealth audacity.
On the day after Barack Obama was born:
"Two Freedom Riders, a blind white woman and a Negro, broke the segregation barrier today in a Jackson, Miss., bus depot."
"God sent you here to save this election"
Good commentary, in The Independent
Why didn't women vote for Hillary?
The optimist vs pessimist primary.

Friday Llama Blogging

Fifi and friends

On our hike Wednesday we saw these giant poodles. Someone said they were actually llamas, but I know a poodle when I see one.

That tape in the front is an electric fence. These must be giant attack poodles.

(Don't forget to check out the other Friday Animals at the Ark.)
