art of the link ladder
for all you hardened finkers out there, i appreciate the kind words in light of my poor performance in the koufax awards this year. i thought id finally get the recognition i deserve for being the Bluest Blog in the Blogosphere but that category has been terminated. i dont want stir up the tinfoil hat crowd but this cant be a coincidence. it was my time, dammit!
and speaking of time, its about time that i mentioned the link at the top right hand corner of this page. "ffac" opens on a generally moribund blog that i threw up to display the excellence of my coding abilities. the links on the right are my rss feeds to my bloglines account. the links arent static (except for the msm links) so the most recently updated blogs (one hour ping lag) will appear at the top of each subheading. not every link on my page is represented but most are, and there are a number that are new as well. i know y'all cant get enough of the alphabet soup-style links on my page but if you like real words instead of gibberish then this just might be for you.

can you hear me now?
"And frankly, somebody had this story. They asked their friends out in California, "Who should I call?" And they said, "You know, you ought to call Aravosis. We trust him."

x factor
"American soldiers traumatised by fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan are to be offered the drug ecstasy to help free them of flashbacks and recurring nightmares.
The US food and drug administration has given the go-ahead for the soldiers to be included in an experiment to see if MDMA, the active ingredient in ecstasy, can treat post-traumatic stress disorder."

the lady is a tramp columnist
modo lets loose with some familiar gannon fodder. i think her last line needs a rewrite. theyre not trying to "reinvent" the media so much as subvert it.also, theres some expanding coverage in the leftward mediasphere.

girl troubles
"One thing I learned from this blog is how easy attractive woman have it. When I had a blog as my real self, no one linked to me, no one left any comments, it was as if the blog existed in a vacuum. But things were different for Libertarian Girl. Every day I’d check Technorati and discover new unsolicited links. It was like I had warped into an alternate universe where all the rules had changed. At the rate things were happening, this would have been an A-list blog in a few more months."
