Required Reading

One of the best digs to hang out on The Fashionable Left Bank Of Blogistan for a long time now has been David Niewert's Orcinus. Besides producing novella-sized award-winning series and a couple of books (and a new series which is another fine piece of work from the little bit of it I have read so far), David shows an awful lot of us how a real journalist works and inspires us to try to produce a positive contribution to the bloggy goodness (cough) spewing out on the Web these days. It's been a while since we've been to his digs because it's generally an all day adventure even if you don't get to all the links he provides for his statements. We're so glad we finally got back to his zone, and we highly recommend you make it a regular stop on your information gathering forays on the internet.

In particular, today we'd like to drag you over to viddy Dismantling Democracy and Balkin' Malkin, a couple of powerful posts that give us all tons of infotainment while edumacating us to the electorative process.

This has been a public service announcement from the Funny* Farm News Burro. Stay tuned to this channel for lots more scary stuff. Unless I'm very much mistaken, it is getting close to Halowe'en...

P.S. In the day late and dollar short category, you should also check out this post that Riverbend put on her blog yesterday.

P.P.S. - Blunted On Reality has been suspended? WTF?!?!?

* - spelling corrected after the fact
