Weekend Round-Up

►Un esponente repubblicano di altissimo livello, Ed Gillespie, consigliere di Samuel Alito (l'ultima nomina di Bush alla Corte Suprema) ed ex-presidente del Republican National Committee, trascinato da Patrick Ruffini in blogger conference. Il resoconto su Townhall, Professor Bainbridge, RightWing News, Blogs for Bush, The Political Teen, Suitably Flip, Decision '08. Provate soltanto ad immaginare un esperimento del genere in Italia. Da noi, ha mollato la blogosfera perfino Scalfarotto (hat tip: Tony). ►L'Unicef lancia in Belgio un spot pacifista in cui il villaggio dei puffi viene raso al suolo da un bombardamento aereo. Secondo Garfield Ridge, non è ancora abbastanza. ►Phastidio sulla ownership society e Il motel dei polli ispirati sulle spese sanitarie statunitensi (e non solo). Leggere e prendere appunti. ►American Idol e l'individualismo nella cultura pop: da Catallarchy. ►Secondo il Washington Post, Howard Dean sta perdendo la corsa al fundraising contro i repubblicani 2 a 1. Ma i democratici non avevano già vinto le elezioni del 2006? Analisi e commenti su: Captain's Quarters, Ballon Juice, Powerline, RedState.org, GOP Bloggers, The Moderate Voice. ►Negli Stati Uniti, l'Intifada francese è seguita in maniera attenta soltanto dai blogger di destra: In the Bullpen, Secular Blasphemy, Gateway Pundit, Captain's Quarters, Jihad Watch, The Politburo Diktat, The Belmont Club, Daimnation!, TMH's Bacon Bits, The Truth Laid Bear, Captain's Quarters, The Florida Masochist. I blogger di sinistra fanno finta di niente e continuano a parlottare tra loro in francese. ►Segnalo due blog italiani (extra-TocqueVille) su cui, non solo ultimamente, ho letto cose molto interessanti: I Diavoli Neri e Grendel from the moor. ►Storie di ordinaria follia rossa, targata Feltrinelli: ascoltate questo podcast (via Tempi Duri). E poi seguite gli sviluppi della vicenda, sempre su Tempi Duri (1-2), Critica della ragion pubblica e Alef. ►Uno splendido post sulla Patria da Il blog dell'Anarca (via Otimaster). Onore ai caduti di Nassirya. ►Veteran's Day round-up: Patriotism.org, California Conservative, Blogs for Bush, Conservative Thinking, Nickie Goomba, And Rightly So!, Freedom Folks, The Truth Laid Bear, RightFaith, The Uncooperative Blogger, The Political Teen, Don Surber, The Right Track, Captain's Quarters, Soldiers' Angel, Iowa Voice. ►Open trackbacks: My Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, The Political Teen, Stop the ACLU, Basil’s Blog, MacStansbury, Big Dog, Point Five, THM’s Bacon Bits, Don Surber, Jo’s Cafe, Wizbang, bRight and Early, Conservative Cat, Oblogatory Anecdotes, Cao’s Blog. Breve guida al trackback.

►Patrick Ruffini organized a blogger conference with Ed Gillespie, high-ranking republican, Samuel Alito's counselor and former chief of Republican National Committee. Townhall, Professor Bainbridge, RightWing News, Blogs for Bush, The Political Teen, Suitably Flip and Decision '08 reports. Try to imagine something like that in Italy, where even Scalfarotto leaves the blogosphere (hat tip: Tony). ►United Nations Children's Fund launches an anti-war tv spot in Belgium which shows the Smurfs' village annihilated by warplanes. According to Garfield Ridge, annihilation is not enough. ►Phastidio on ownership society and Il motel dei polli ispirati on american health system (and not only): must-read. ►American Idol and individualism in pop culture: Catallarchy. ►Washington Post writes that Howard Dean is loosing the fundraising race against GOP. Weren't democrats the certain winners of 2006 elections? Analysis and comments at: Captain's Quarters, Ballon Juice, Powerline, RedState.org, GOP Bloggers, The Moderate Voice. ►In the United States, France Intifada is followed closely only at right-wing blogs: In the Bullpen, Secular Blasphemy, Gateway Pundit, Captain's Quarters, Jihad Watch, The Politburo Diktat, The Belmont Club, Daimnation!, TMH's Bacon Bits, The Truth Laid Bear, Captain's Quarters and The Florida Masochist. Left-wing bloggers just pretend that nothing is happening and continue to french-chat. ►Two interesting italian blogs (not citizens of TocqueVille): I Diavoli Neri and Grendel from the moor. ►Stories of ordinary red madness at Feltrinelli: listen to this podcast (via Tempi Duri). And then follow the event at Tempi Duri (1-2), Critica della ragion pubblica and Alef. ►Amazing post on Nation at Il blog dell'Anarca (via Otimaster).
