Good Posts Blogroll

This will not become a weekly feature but it struck me that there were an unusual number of good posts today that you should check out. I am known as an eternal optimist. Or it may have just been that last Guinness. Anyway, if you have the time and interest for some fine writing and clear perspective, hurry over to:

Sara Robinson's excellent guest post at Dave Neiwert's place on "Rules Lawyers."

Susie Madrak's links to Garrison Keiller and to Arianna Huffington.

Mr. Trend's travelog at Alterdestiny that took him from New Mexico through TX, OK, MO, IL, and IN to Ohio. (As someone who spent two decades in western Oklahoma and who has spent the night in Effingham, IL, I can strongly recommend it.)

And finally, amidst all the misery of New Orleans, Digby (of course) finds a nugget.

No need to thank me. The look on your face . . . .
