I have been waiting to use that joke for 12 years.
Probably because one of the first really prolific bloggers is based out of Tennessee (and no, I won't link to him, he is a a disingenous intellectual gimp), there's quite whackload o'blogs based out of that fine state. They even have a clearing house. Or a road house, may be more appropriate.
Of the bunch, South Knox Bubba is the one I read the most. He's eclectic, relaxed, and has a useful link list. He led me today, though, to Thoughts of an Average Woman, who I dig because she just doesn't write about things, she's an organizer. In the effort to make this blog somewhat useful, and to remind myself to "cross the aisle" every now and then, I'm popping her blog and the link to the Progressive Women's Webring on the list, along with a separate link to a pretty cool women's medical issues blog, The Well-Timed Period.

Moral Advantage -- Gamer
More people liked the white on black. My friend, spiffily talented artist over at Defektiv widened it out to make my big chunky paragraphs a little easier on the eyes.
Rebuilding links, etc. In the meantime, congratulations to Penny Arcade. They were one of the first 4th Generation Media companies I mentioned on this blog. I cited in particular their excellent charity Child's Play. Last year they raised something on the order of a quarter million dollars for toys and games for sick kids trapped in hospital wards. This year?
$310,000.
Two guys. A website. With cartoons about World of Warcraft and a machine that sodomizes fruit. All for sick kids.
I resolve to power-level my Dwarven rogue this weekend in their honor.
I also resolve NOT to play City of Heroes. These guys have single-handedly done more damage to the editorial schedule of the comic book industry than the arrival of DVD porn. There have been nights I signed on, and the writers of every book I bought that Wednesday were on playing.
A friend called CoH "gaming crack." FOOL. It is not just gaming crack, it is like gaming crack which not only has all the feelgood ride of standard crack but in the midst of your mind-blowing high, visions of people who have done you wrong appear to apologize and beg forgiveness, only to have the double-team of Salma Hayek and the girl who was your major crush in high school apppear in cheerleading outfits and, while being rained on, bludgeon these wrongdoers to death with your Emmy. And it comes with pizza. CRACK PIZZA.
Grav-rad controller, baby. I lock 'em, you rock 'em.
... kill .. me ...
