Progressive Musings has been looking at other liberal Web sites and playing with posting photographs. And he's doing a lot better at it than I am, I must say! I'm digitally challenged when it comes to photos. I'm going to work on it. I'm currently recovering from a Windows crash. PM is also shaking his head in amazement at Pat Robertson and Ghettopoly.
Cheese Louise is dissecting the California recall, a fertile topic.
Windmills of my mind tried to keep her mind off politics for a few days. But now she's back to musing about the Texasification of American politics. She also pointed out the other day that AOL Journalmeister John Scalzi has a non-AOL blog, Whatever, where he's been talking about spam, radio appearances, baseball and his general approach to commenting on political issues.
Charlie Eklund at The Other Shoe quotes from an article in which Ed Asner seems to be outing himself as an admirer of Joe Stalin. I think that may be reading too much into Asner's comment, in which actually says that he would like to play Stalin, and comments that he thinks Stalin is "misunderstood." The source article in a column from the conservative World Net Daily does imply that. But I'd take that with a grain of salt.
British historian Alan Bullock did a great biography called Hitler and Stalin: Parallel Lives that was one of the first post-Cold War histories I read. I can imagine that either of those characters would be a fascinating challenge for an actor.

AOL Journal Voting
So, John Scalzi of the AOL mothership blog By the Way has challenged us again, this time to list our favorite AOL Journals. He asked for our top five, actually. But I only come up with five if I count his, which he probably isn't looking for. But I do enjoy his blog, and not just for the AOL Journals announcements. I'm still working on imitating his trick of making photos LARGE, though. :)
I've been trying to look up some of the other Journals that deal with political topics on a regular basis. My critieria would include thought-provoking entries, entries on a fairly regular basis and useful links. And I only came up with four of those. I've come across several that had good entries, but for whatever reason the authors make a few entries and then abandon them for weeks at a time.
So, on the conservative side of the AOL corner of the "blogosphere", I would mention Charlie Eklund's The Other Shoe. I just posted Thursday something about the 1938 Munich agreement that one of his posts started me thinking about.
Another is Cheese Louise by awriterslife. She's been keeping up a steady stream of posts on the California recall, which she favors. She probably won't agree with my previous post, "Arnie and the Hitler Quote."
On the liberal side, there's Progressive Musings by fdtate313, which is kind of on the same wavelength so far as Old Hickory's Weblog. He has a provocative post on "progressive songs" that I hope to post a follow-up on.
And there's the windmills of my mind by marigolds2 that has very literate posts about various topics, including political ones. Also an intriguing list of links, which reminds me I need to work on mine a bit.
