Update: I tried again, blogrolling.com lives! Now please be patient as I fill the links in. Check out the links on the right. Your suggestions are welcome. Just click ‘rant’ to remind me I oughta link to you.

So I finally decided to relent and do a blogroll. I never saw the need to link to all my friends’ blogs since I have them bookmarked. But I am now having trouble keeping up with the blogs I want to read every day and every week.

So a few days ago, I went and signed up at blogrolling.com. But I never got the e-mail with the code I need to use my free account. Now the whole site is down! What gives?

So is “improperly” a nice word for this-would-be-illegal-if-people-we-don’t-like-did-it? Or maybe it’s a euphemism for we-can’t-charge-them-since-we-told-them-to-do-it. Thousands of Democratic Files Improperly Obtained by Republican staff members in Congress.

So if I get broken into, should I tell the police that someone “improperly came into my house?”

Get it? Instead of the West Wing. Bush Backs New Terrorism TV Series: “President Bush and Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge both ‘endorse and contribute sound bites to the introductions of the series,’ according to the show’s producers.

Though the series’ theme relates to the President’s agenda on national security and international terrorism, it is virtually unprecedented for the White House to endorse such a fictional representation. It is unclear what input or relation if any the President or the real DHS would have with the show in the future.”

In addition to the very lovely Bloggers for Choice, we now have a powerhouse on the scene. Along with the redesigned saveROE.com, Planned Parenthood has launched Now What – a daily blog on pro-choice policy issues. SaveROE.com is Planned Parenthood’s destination for pro-choice activists. It’s got tons of information about the upcoming March for Women’s Lives.

I know the woman writing Now What and she is hysterical (as in funny, not as in mad). So I’m really looking forward to reading it. And I’m not just saying that because she’s married to my boss. It’s not very bloggy, but hey we’re learning. Any suggestions? Feel free to rant.

Hungry? Personally, I prefer a little more meat on them bones.

The irony is delicious in the juxtaposition of these two selections from Yahoo! News – Most Emailed – Photos.

All that thinking for myself was getting really tiring. Thanks for working to make sure I do as little of it as possible. Also, thanks for protecting possibly innocent children from that awful SEX – lord knows they don’t want to think about that. Violence and racism are what they want, and you’ve got it for them.

Radio giant Clear Channel Communications on Wednesday announced a “zero-tolerance” policy designed to keep indecent material out of broadcasts on its 1,200 or so radio stations.

Wondir is a free, online, real-time advice service. I just gave three people relationship advice! How strangely satisfying. I haven’t asked it anything yet…

By the way, stop whatever you are doing and make plans to see The Triplets of Belleville immediately. Here are the times if you live near me.

‘Cause Tom DeLay is obviously not ready for a mature relationship.

ABC News is asking “Do you agree with President Bush’s stance on gay marriage?
” When the poll was sent to me, gay marriage was losing 2 to 1. By the time I voted, it was gaining and had over 50%! Hurrah. Go ahead and cast your vote.

If only we could set government policy by Internet polls instead of that inefficient congress and electoral college. No, wait…
