Link Lovable

Dave Winer has helped create this amazing site, Convention Bloggers, aggregating the posts of those blogging the Democratic National Convention, credentialed bloggers and delegates alike. There's also an official Convention Blog. (Speaking of link love, the Convention site and blog need to be linking to the Convention Bloggers aggregator, pronto, don't you think?) And let's not forget politics.technorati.com. All that's left to do, apparently, is organize a drop-off site for all those unneeded televisions, because the killer coverage of the DNC is going to be on the Web.

INDUCE Blog

Bad proposed legislation, good new blog. Not to be confused with INDUCE vomiting. (Remember, it's not actually "the Horrible Orrin Hatch," no matter how much your lazy vision and political views may try to persuade you otherwise.)

Ready For Your Close-Up

Dave Sifry at AlwaysOn: "As email reinvigorated the art of letter writing, blogging is starting to reinvent the art of civic dialog." CNN agrees. Congratulations Dave, Mary, Kevin, and Technorati! Doc's take: "See that mike? See that camera? You're on."

If Bulwer-Lytton Had A Helpful Hints Category

Nursing moms' late day, double helpings of halvah result in the lactic equivalent of Jolt for babies (did you know there was a gum?), a night of bad (Haunted Mansion; ouch) pay-per-view, a desire to strangle the marketer who first justified a $2-$5 expenditure because it cost "no more than your morning latte," and no reduction whatever in the volume of grandedecafezvanillanonfatdrycaps thereafter to be consumed.

By the way: they tell you to keep breastfeeding for at least a year. They don't tell you what to do about the teeth. (And don't say: Suck it up.)
