Why so slow with the Juicy Miquelon story? I’ve been busy updating the template and such.
To the left, you’ll notice a bunch of changes to the blogroll. Expanded Illinois and Missouri blogs are two big features, but I’ve also added a bunch of blogs that link to me.
Especially important is Tim Lambert’s Deltoid. Tim is the Tenacious T on the case of John Lott. I’ve been swamped lately and haven’t kept up on this blog enough–check it out and I look forward to more Lott and more general topics from Tim who is especially thoughtful.
Another blog I’ll call attention to is the new joint effort by academic related folks on the left at Crooked Timber. Henry Farrel and Kieran Healy are two of the new bloggers and they are already driving a lot of traffic this way.
And two blogs have been added from my Alma Mater–figure it out and win a no-prize (they are excluded from the competition).
Other significant changes–Donate to the DNC! For those who come here for Democratic Politics-give until it hurts. Please. I’ll post results after they start to roll in. The DNC is the only organization that can support the nominee after the primaries drain the coffers of the nominee.
I’ve also added two tip jars. I won’t say much about them other than give if you feel like it and I’ll use the money to keep the site running. The site will run if you give or not, but I’ll make some improvements if enough comes in. I’ve also added an Amazon wishlist.
A final change is I’ve added some links to Amazon including a search engine and some books I highly suggest (except Three Strikes of which I’ve only heard good things). Click through me and I get some kickbacks. If you don’t have a better deal, consider it. Again the money will be used for the site.
I’ll be updating again sometime on Monday–I have an eye appointment though so it might not be until later when my eyes are undilated.
