I have been dutifully maintaining the blogroll to the right, adding new ones when I find something I like (and think people who like NWW might like), deleting inactive blogs, and doing it pretty quietly. There is, however, a new blog that I'm pretty excited about and I want to point it out so no one misses it.
Keith Burgess Jackson has started a blog called The Conservative Philosopher, which will be a group blog. The names signing on are impressive - Burgess- Jackson himself, Bill Vacellia, John Kekes, Roger Scruton and more. I also heard a rumor that Jim Ryan (who did Philosoblog a while back but dropped out due to time constraints) is on board too. You might even find my comments on Ryan's old blog. Or even a link to my old pre blogger site.
I am taking tonight off and catching up on reading this new entry. The topic of the moment seems to be "what is conservatism?" I doubt anything I put here would be better, so you're invited to check it out.
At the moment the biggest drawback I can see is that the comment links and permalinks are one and the same, which is a bit confusing at first. A key to the writer's initials would also be very helpful.

Ok, there seems to be a problem with the code for the site feed, and it is making the author's list invisible in Firefox (but not in IE). Keith has also linked to little old me. Wow.

Kudos to CanWest for calling a terrorist a terrorist . Many, including The Last Amazon , will be happy to hear it. Reuters is among the worst of the major western news services, where I would also place the BBC and the CBC.

Our editorial policy is that we don't use emotive words when labeling someone," said David A. Schlesinger, Reuters' global managing editor. "Any paper can change copy and do whatever they want. But if a paper wants to change our copy that way, we would be more comfortable if they remove the byline." Mr. Schlesinger said he was concerned that changes like those made at CanWest could lead to "confusion" about what Reuters is reporting and possibly endanger its reporters in volatile areas or situations. "My goal is to protect
