Read 'em and weep

I just can’t do it.  Can’t write a single thing.  Not only am I up to my eyeballs at work, I’m also preparing for my APBA league draft this weekend.

But the real problem is that I’m drowning in blogs.  I’m surrounded on all sides by reports of the disastrous actions perpetrated by the Bushies, in everything from healthcare to diplomacy, from fiscal policy to the environment, from civil rights to scientific research.  And far too many more to mention.

So click on the blogs represented under “Elsewhere”, over there to the right side of this page.  Read the words of those insightful analysts.  Follow their links to still other blogs, revealing more of the rot that’s been spreading throughout the administration.  And follow those links to still more revelations.

Enjoyable it’s not.  You’ll be frustrated and angered.  You’ll be fascinated by the depth and breadth of the danger posed by the Bush team on so many fronts.  Perhaps you’ll be so angered by it all that you’ll rise up in righteous indignation, ready to take strong and focused action. 

If so, maybe you’ll be able to shake me and countless others like me out of our torpor.  We’re beaten down by the constant onslaught, overcome by the sheer magnitude of the perfidy on all sides of us, unable to move in any one direction because we see the horrors coming our way from another, and another, and another.
