I’m sorry to see Wampum go. Come back soon, MB.
While I maybe don’t read Ruminate This or the watch on a daily white-knuckled basis, they’re invaluable pit stops for every-coupla-day perspective-taking. Keep up the good work, folks.
I used to have Mac-a-ro-nies in my linchinography. Like a lot of people, I find her a sharp-witted writer on political issues, with a knack for digging up (criminally) overlooked perspectives. But her tongue’s as sharp as her wit—too sharp, perhaps. Links drift in and out of my blogroll all the time, for the most whimsical of reasons; it isn’t a secret club, or an intellectually rigorous snapshot of me as a political animal, or a networked affinity group, or even an accurate representation of what I’m reading how often. It’s just a collection of stuff I want to remember to keep coming back to. For a variety of reasons, including what I saw to be disproportionate reactions to others’ posts (friends and not) and dispiriting ad hominem attacks, I decided a while back to remove the Mac-a-ro-nies link. —I still read her from time to time, when pointed to fresh posts by others.
So I wish MacDiva the best of luck. We each of us can only fight the world the way we see it, after all.
But every now and then it’s a good idea to stop and take a look at the way we see the world.
—And that’s all two cents is worth, I think.

Nicely put. Sometimes I think we take this blogging thing too seriously.
(By the way, this may appear twice, as I had a strange error message. Apologies if it does.)
I suggest you read Mac-a-ro-nies today.
