Round the Horn Part 3.1223, This Ain't Really Life

Incidentally for those who are wondering, last weeks title for this feature ("Round the Horn Issue 15 - Lobsters Ate My Femur" was sort of a reference to the classic Frank Zappa album "Weasels Ripped my Flesh." This weeks title is a line from a song by Gil-Scott Heron ("B-Movie").

Let's start out with T-Rex's Guide to Life, which has a nice little review of some of the more interesting comments he's received.

Words on a Page has an exploration of some of the differences between President Bush and Former President Clinton.

The Gotham City 13 has the 411 on the person selected by America to run Iraq, Iyad Allawi.

Rubber Hose has an interesting anecdote about how reporters want to deal with environmental issues.

Good post over at archy on the contrast between Republican Rhetoric of a year ago and the realities today, in this instance referring to their dominance over the American Political system.

Congratulations are in order to Pen Elayne for becoming one of the top 100 most influential bloggers. Or should that be congratulations to the blogging community for realizing and recognizing that Pen Elayne is or should be one of the top 100 most influential bloggers.

The Invisible Library chronicles the existence of a giant mushroom in the Congo.

Dohiyi Mir has a really fascinating discussion on the use of the world imperial to describe our current President. He also quotes Lewis Carroll. Be sure to read the comments section down below as there is an interesting further discussion.

Corrente has a post on how the Bush administration is acknowledging the contributions of our soldiers (after being pushed into it).

New World Blogger has a provocative question on what poverty means. It is definitely something to think about.

And that's it for this session. Join us next time when we will have more obscure song lyrics and links to the brilliant writers of the Liberal Coalition. But, if you just can't wait for next week, you can go to the Liberal Coalition's blog roll along the left there and enjoy.
