"The best way out is always through."
- Robert Frost, American poet (1874 - l963)
In my weblog meanderings the last few days, I've discovered several blogs written by Iraqis. I feel they're worth a visit. Healing Iraq is one I have linked to on this site. Two new ones are Mesopotamian and Iraq at a Glance.
Spend a little time reading what these men have to say. I imagine they're expressing their views at some risk to themselves. And speaking of risk, consider the penalty for speaking out in China.
Dick Gephardt polled ahead of Howard Dean in Iowa, which was somewhat a surprise. I don't know why, but my gut tells me that Gephardt is going to end up being the Democratic nominee for president. Crazy, I know.
If you were a teenager in the 50's as I was, you may remember Buddy Holly, a singer who was killed in a plane crash when he was only 22 years old. National Public Radio has a spot on him which might be fun to visit. You may listen to three of Holly's unreleased songs, and get the scoop on how his hit, "Peggy Sue," came about.
Jim Tunstall has a story about Monarch butterfly migrations over at Tampa Bay Online. These beautiful creatures travel over 2,500 miles in their annual jaunt south. There are pictures as well. Take a look.
