Blogabout

It's been a while - and it doesn't mean I haven't been reading the blogs. But here goes another Liberal Coalition Blogabout:

You just have to love a well written blog. All the wonderful content in the world won't make up for poor writing. But when there's content and writing, well that's something to get worked up about. Scout, over at And Then... has a great post about watching the SOTU with Wesley Clark. Go read about what Clark is like, how Scout feels about Clark. And for a little comic relief, read about his encounter with a couple of Larouche supporters.

Echidne of the Snakes takes a long hard look at anger. Anger in politics. Sure the Repugs are accusing Democrats of being angry, but who has practiced political hate speech for longer than those on the right. Sometimes anger is a good thing; it moves us to action - as long as it is well modulated and targeted. Go see what else Echidne has to say on anger.

At Collective Sigh, andante wonders how far Dr. Dean has to go to overcome his "angry" image, even with Democrats. Is it the media's fault? Deans? Or is something else at work here? Andante has some thoughts, but I won't ruin your trip over to read it yourself.

An annotated - with links, no less - State of the Union address awaits you at The Gotham City 13. It's only Part I, but Jesse has some interesting things to say (some snarky things, too!) and some interesting links in this dissection of aWol's SOTU. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll shake your head more times than Ted Kennedy! Go check it out - and stand by for Part II.

You can always count on Mustang Bobby for some biting, South Florida perspectives, and a post on Jebby borrowing from Shrubby's play book is right on form. Tax cuts for the wealthy and cuts in services or continued waits for underfunded services seem to have been embedded in the Bush DNA at some point. There are lots of other great posts over at Bark Bark Woof Woof, stop by and make sure to let MB know you were there.

Finally, go read Steve Gilliard's News Blog. He's got a short post up about aWol's SOTU speech, and he's right on the money about how surreal Bush's choice of subjects were. But most of all, go welcome "Gilly" back from the hospital. He had a couple of rough days being pretty sick and it's nice to have him back.

Okay, that's enough for tonight. If you don't find something interesting in the posts I pointed to above (which is really hard to believe), check out some of the other blogs in my blogroll on the Left.

So ends another Liberal Coalition "Blogabout."
