PSoTD

Sometimes I like to do Technorati searches on terms and get a flavor of the blogtopia. Wanna know what sucks?

Public School Education, The Darkness of Winter, Cell Phone Service, Reality, Purdue Basketball, Nicorette, Subsidized Housing, Hollywood, Smoking, Losing Your Tickling Video Clips...

and so on. I would recommend not doing a "sucks search" on Technorati, you would not believe how many AOL, MSN and GreatestJournal.com entries you find... and many of them kinda, well, you know...

I'm adding the following to the blogroll, just because I wanna...

Localfeeds: Harrisburg, PA

Night Bird's Fountain

And... I added Random Thoughts earlier this month but forgot to mention it.

Thanks!

Some highlights from postings from the blogroll's "S" Bloggers:

Courtesy of Cookie Jill at skippy the bush kangaroo, we learn that squirrels have complex language, particularly when taking care of the nuts in the White House.

Penguin on the Track! Penguin on the Track!

Speedkill has discovered that Thanksgiving is being phased out.

Sumo Merriment and sunsetchaser both weigh in on Edwards' admitting he was wrong on the Iraq resolution.

And... are you planning on going to the most polluted Olympics in history?

Marginal Revolution suggests that cellphones will have a role in formal education.

Cool! There's a contest to measure which Philadelphia-area station is best this winter at predicting the snow and rain that falls.

So Sean Hannity blames Congress for the high price of gasoline. Well then, I blame Congress for the high cost of allowing Sean Hannity so much media exposure.

Dead Men Left brings chilling news: French bloggers arrested for "inciting riots".

Does anyone thing Arthur Sultzberger is the kind of person to run the New York Times? Not here...

Is Rove back? Or is it just more Rovian spin using one of the reporters that has a crush on him? Yeah, the second thing.

Joe Biden is running for President? Sorry Dave, he's just wasting contribution money doing that. I don't think Democratic primary voters will rally behind a poser in 2008. That's why I think Hillary isn't going to be a factor, either.

And my favorite headline from yesterday, courtesy of one Patrick J. Buchanan:

Bush Leaves GOP in Crisis

Psssst, Pat, have some bad news for you... Bush hasn't left yet. Actually it's bad news for all of us.

From around the blogs...

Josh Marshall is right: Bush laid a big egg in the Virginia gubernatorial race. Just wait to see what Republicans do now that they suspect that George W. Bush is electoral cancer.

Pharyngula has more good news: the Dover school board supporters of Intelligent Design that were up for election yesterday lost.

A Likely Story! came back to blogging after dealing with Wilma.

I'm going to have to watch the video of another painful Scott McClellan ass-whooping, but I appreciate that Pandagon excerpted.

It's not Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels' fault. Really. Ask him!

Kevin Drum already asks if it will be a blowout in 2006. Let's not get too heady now.

And finally, Booman takes a look at the 2003 State of the Union speech. Is it an argument for impeachment?

Here in Central Pennsylvania the leaves are falling. Driving down my street yesterday it looked like it was raining various colors of maple leaves. It seems to me that this year the leaves are dropping just about a week later than usual, and the foliage colors are not quite as spectacular as usual due to the drought over the summer, although they are still pretty.

It seems like a good day to see what other bloggers are sayings about the tree colors in their area...

A View from the Bleachers' neighborhood looks pretty - you can see for yourself on the Flickr page.

Fool-proof says the foliage sucks in Massachusetts.

In Texas the foliage is just starting to turn, according to Lisa's Front Porch.

Now those are red leaves.

Now here's some big city foliage.

And yes, Southern California is fall foliage challenged.

If you're in a hunt for colorful foliage, The Foliage Network can provide you with condition information that's helpful. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has an online resource as well. And, of course, it seems that every state that has some foliage tourism now has their own specific web site on the topic.

If you have good foliage links, post them in comments.

Apostropher says it is time to impeach Cheney, if Powell's former chief-of-staff is telling the truth.

And now... off with their thumbs!

A Vatican cardinal says the faithful should listen to science?

Intelligent Design moves into Indiana, or at least, now advertises.

Bob Ney finally subpoenaed in Abramoff probe.

And last but definitely not least... Congratulations to Nathan Newman!

Life ain't fun when your semen tank is broken into.

If you're an American who believes that humans evolved without God's intervention, you are in the distinct minority.

Why is it that Tularemia keeps getting detected during peace marches and rallies? Brilliant at Breakfast doesn't think it's a coincidence, and I'm skeptical, too.

If you're going to be a serious candidate for President, you have to be able to carry your own state. So... Could Evan Bayh Win Indiana's Electoral Votes?

Ha, ha. Texas prosecutor Ronnie Earle filed a motion today asking the Republican judge in charge of appointing who will preside over Rep. Tom Delay's trial to recuse himself. Damn straight. Spend some more of Delay's "defense fund" money before he even gets to trial.

Ethel the Frog asks about the Bush Implosion: When and How Did it Start? Election Day 2000? It just took a while to get going.

Finally, if you really, really, really like anchovies, then this is the post for you. My wife likes 'em, I prefer to avoid them.

Thanks to these fine blogs for adding PSoTD to their blogroll. It's always appreciated!
