A Comedy and a Tragedy

First, the Comedy - the Blogosphere's best satirist and all-around best citizen of Blogtopia, Jon Swift, has his annual compilation of the year's best blog posts, as chosen by the bloggers themselves. The list is well worth checking out. My regular readers will be familiar with the post I chose for this site (hint: it's linked to on the left of this page).

Second, the Tragedy - my post this morning at Upturned Earth discusses President Bush as a sad and tragic figure, undone by his own personal weaknesses. I'll hopefully have a follow-up to that post later today before my stint at Upturned Earth comes to a close, but in the meantime, check this morning's post out.
