You shall see a good friend, along with good friends, in Australia, I’ve NEVER met.
In the Blogroll….’tis http://timblair.net/ (all the friends beside Tim are there)
In the News Outlets….’tis http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/
You see, Mr. Tim Blair writes for this OZ* paper…Damn good writer, he is and his Blog, was voted Best Blog In Australia/New Zealand.
So check both of ‘em out…OR ELSE!
Oh yea, the asterisk… Personally I think Blair is an Agent for the Australia Intelligence Services. His counterparts in the USA, post there under noms de plume, such as wronwright, Paco, yojimbo, Hucbald, and Dave S, and a lady whom one is to believe has red hair… missred, Saltydog, (yeah right) RebeccaH….Just to name a few.
His fellow agents in OZ… oh let’s see… MentalFloss, Dminor, SwinishCapitalist, thefrollickingmole, (agent name if I’ve ever heard one) PLUS several ladies… three (oooopppsss FOUR) of whom come to mind… kae, Pogria, Ash_ and the mysterious one 1.618.
OH God…Forgot some of more notorious agents…Catch these ‘names’ Margos Maid, Nic and Nora, Skeeter, etc, etc, etc. The Nation is full of ‘em. They also have a new Primie…Kevin Dud (the guy eats earwax…no shit!)

El Cid! Shhhh! You’ll blow our covers!

One day we should all meet – at the halfway point, Hawaii, all expenses paid by The Daily Telegraph, plastic masks of previous US Presidents and Australian PM’s to be handed out at the door, to protect our secret identities from the paparazzi. I’d have Miranda Divide along, too, but the quarantine’s a bitch.

Say what you mean and mean what you say…eh, Cid? (it takes a minute, but
you’ll know what I mean when you read the link…)
“Kurdistan can be an example to the entire Middle East if it can redefine
democracy as meaning equality rather than being based on equality.”

Once again, the Kurds show the whey…(sorry for that, El Campeador, I’m still doped up on Sister M and other Opiates since my back broke last year)
Oh, and congrats on the Blog — I plan to stop by regularly, if only to annoy you.

Oh, and may I say how chuffed I am that Boston’s own gave one of my more brief comments, meant for general consumption, top billing…there may be something to this blogging caper, eh what?

Do so, kind friend..your annoyance is most welcome.
And don’t get a big damn head from that Aussie ancestor…Crittenden…lol.
(even though the words and praise are justified)

Hey! I most certainly am not one of those noms de plumes people, I’m American and well you should know it. I go to that place once and I will never be able to live it down.
Congrats on the blog big guy. Just remember, a little riot and revolution is good for the soul.

Not to mention, the bitch is always begging for attention.
She seems rather frisky around Labor politicians too… also known as “arseholes”.

Thank you my friend…Do come back…and do think about the Group Blog I’ve mentioned here and at Blair’s…OR if nothing else all can be contributors at this place.
My ego is at the door, have no problems with any or either.
Any subject, any view…as you say a little riot and revolution is good for the soul.
December 6, 2007, 4:20 am at 4:20 am
Well, I’ll think about it if you promise not to call me French anymore…)
December 6, 2007, 4:23 am at 4:23 am
Yo Cidster, I think your blog is on Algerian standard time(is there anything standard in Algeria?) It’s 9:22 in Tucson and this will print as 4:22 AM. Has 1.618 been in the cooking sherry again?
December 6, 2007, 4:32 am at 4:32 am
Damn gettin’ gooder at this here tecnickle stuff
December 6, 2007, 4:34 am at 4:34 am
Well, seven hours ahead of Tucson time would be London time for sure.
December 6, 2007, 11:56 am at 11:56 am
Congrats, El Cid. Good blog too. Bookmarked (obviously!)
I see all the VRWC Henchmen got a mention, but no minions. Oh noooo.
No more Sumerian mead for YOU, then!

Thank you, Sir. Hope the Blog is worth the space in your Bookmarks, but I’ll try my damnedest to help make it so.

I think Theo has better pictures. Much better. And his poetic discursions aren’t by guys named Joyce, either.
Cheers

LOL…yes…”guys” is the key word J.M….lol. Thanks for dropping by…do so anytime.

Well, Theo does a good job of covering aah,eer,ummm, cultural expositions like his photessay on yoga classes. I haven’t seen any pictures here of ahh, yoga classes yet.
My favorite Theo photo and caption;
There was a B-52 surrounded by its entire payload and the caption read somthing like;
“The terrorists have won the toss and elected to receive.” That was great stuff.
