A good runddown of all the good folks who've left or been forced out of the Bush Administration because of the direction Bush has taken, both politically and internationally.

Clusterfuck Nation by Jim Kunstler : Hating Suburbia
Clusterfuck Nation by Jim Kunstler : Hating Suburbia
"Up until the 1970s, suburbia was a kind of accessory to America's manufacturing economy. But as industrial production moved overseas, the creation of suburbia itself insidiously replaced it as the engine of the US economy." Check out this post and Kunstler's excellent blog.

Oxbridge
I've been looking at the websites for Oxford and Cambridge because my wife's been invited to a conference at Harris Manchester College, part of Oxford University. Truly fascinating. I sometimes think a move to the ancestral homeland might be in order.

The Rude Pundit
The Rude Pundit: The Rude Pundit is, as you might imagine, rude, so be warned before you click through to the rest. Here's an excerpt: "Thus, God's hand was forced to bring out the biggest guns to drive into stark relief the images of God's poorest people, the ones that the rest of us are supposed to care about, the ones who got nary a visit from a presidential candidate last year, the ones who are supposed to disappear like ants into the hill after they've done their work: out of sight, out of mind. God's made this pretty fuckin' simple, God thinks: what you do to the least of these, you know. The last twenty-five years or so have shown that the American government wants God to live in shithole housing with no health insurance, no child care, bare bones job training, no welfare net, facing starvation, violence, and/or imprisonment at every turn. And that's a pretty shitty way to treat God."
