What's wrong with this picture?

Like any blog that is trying to establish itself, NWW has been seeking out well placed links, in an effort to get people to come and have a look. That means I've been adding myself to blog rings and directories, among other things. One of the major blog directories in Canada appears to be Blogs Canada. It's a useful site and they did give me the little "thumbs up" symbol when they listed me under What's New. But what is wrong with this picture? You guessed it. Under Politics, they have two categories - Politics General and Politics Right. Why are they separating right leaning blogs from the others? That's ok, but why not call the other category Politics Left? As it is, the directory structure suggests that there are "normal political views" and then there are those, ugh, right wing people. I'm not going to honour the modern Canadian tradition and ask for a CRTC review or anything like that. Blogs Canada can set themselves up however they like. But I wonder if we ought to tell them we think it makes them look mighty partial. How about it? Especially everyone flying under the Red Ensign? Any ideas or opinions? ********* PS. Flea kindly points out that Blogs Canada does have a Politics Left section. The dirty rats. It turns out that their table runs left to right and not top to bottom as I had supposed. D-oh!

I just wrote a follow-up post, followed the Blogs Canada link and... oops! There is a Politics Left section (to the, uhh, left of Politics Right on the list). Perhaps they spotted your post? :)

The Hiatus will be blogged

This hiatus thing isn't going to plan. As I'm reading (books and blogs) I find things I think are interesting, or things I would like an opinion on, and bingo, my hiatus is in a shambles. So, *coughs*, until further notice, I'm blogging again. The main editorial difference that I can see coming from my few weeks away is that I do not expect to resume posting six out of seven days a week. There could be, at any time and without warning, a break of a week or two between posts. Really, I think that is the only way I can start to get some books behind me, and is also inevitable in the summer season when one wants to get out and enjoy it all. Here's a few things that got my attention this past week. Chris Taylor is blogging once again and has recruited an air force for the Red Ensign Brigade. Heh. Dennis Prager asks, Are you a liberal? Anglicans and Catholics are getting closer to reconciling -over the role of Mary in the Christian faith. Quote: A working group c...

Ghost in the machine

In writing up this post I have to mention that I am very impressed with the quality of discussion that one finds on blogs. This truly is a remarkable medium. Thanks go to all three of the bloggers mentioned here for providing such good reading and thinking for the rest of us to try and learn from. I have not had a chance to read all of the entries linked to here, but I do intend to. ***** George Will compares two views of man in his latest column . One is novelist Ian McEwan, who places the following words into the mouth of the leading character in his latest novel, Saturday : Endless and beautiful forms of life, such as you see in a common hedgerow, including exulted beings like ourselves, arose from physical laws, from war or nature, famine and death. This is the grandeur. And a bracing kind of consolation in the brief privilege of consciousness. This character is a neurosurgeon. The quote reminds me that there may be some truth to the observation that those in the biological and...
