Blogging Cops...& More Tuesday Links

January 03, 2005

Cerberus, a blogging cop from the U.S., and a fine writer to boot, has discovered a couple of British cop bloggers. Follow his links, and check out some of his other entries, too.

At his site Sunbreak City, Seattle blogger/writer/guitarist Doug Anderson admires the contemplative reverence of Muslim pilgrims, and concludes there is no place in Allah's Kingdom for Islamo-terorrists. Someone better tell them.

Australian blogger Arthur Chrenkoff has this outstanding, link-rich round-up in Opinion Journal of good news from the "other" Iraq, one rarely portrayed by the MSM.

In The Daily Star (Lebanon), David Ignatius lauds U.S. Middle East Central Command leader Gen. John Abazaid for his clear articulation of why the "long war" matters.

Patrick Ruffini, who was central to Bush's blog efforts in campaign '04, has had a blog of his own for a while now, and he says regional political blogs such as Sound Politics are at the leading edge of the blogosphere. (SP link here).

Montana's new governor, Brian Schweitzer, is the first Democrat elected to that office since Ted Schwinden won a second term in 1984. I suppose Blue State Democrats would assert it's no coincidence the Germanic (and thus faintly White Supremacist-sounding) "Schw" prefix is common to the two Dems most recently elected Governor in this rather Red state. I suppose it didn't hurt that Schweitzer ran with a Republican on the ticket (for Lt. Gov.). In addition to receiving the requisite salute from bagpipers, they both joined a Native American drumming circle at the inauguration.

Schweitzer isn't the first Dem to hold the office in "more than 20 years." Ted Schwinden was gov till 1989 ...

Thanks, Bill. I have entered a correction. The AP story linked to has it right, Schweitzer is the first Dem ELECTED Montana Gov. in 20 years (as Schwinden won his second term in 1984).
