Cerberus asks the million reader question;"It seems that, during the election, Liberal bloggers pretty much got their butts kicked by a much larger, much more determined, much broader and much more widely read (both by John Q. Public and media interlopers) conservative blogs. We started to catch on only in the last 2 weeks or so as more Liberals, out of desperation, suddenly "got it" about blogs."
The primary reason that liberal/left bloggers in both Canada and the US have so much more difficulty gaining traction in the way the conservative-shere has isn't really a mystery - they compete with the majority of voices in mainstream media for their readers - and we don't. Comments (31)

Kos Kidz Horrified at Agreement with LGF
One of the Kos Kidz notes that LGF and Daily Kos seem to be mostly in agreement that it’s probably not a good thing for a United Arab Emirates company to control US sea ports—but they quickly emphasize that at the morally superior Daily Kos, they’re opposed to it for the right reasons, whereas LGF is, you know, like racist or something, dude: Daily Kos: It’s Not An Arab Thing. The “diary” post above is a reply to this one: Is This DailyKos or LGF? Terrorist Lovers Controlling Our Ports!
UPDATE at 2/21/06 2:42:07 pm:
Until recently, the United Arab Emirates was the home of one of the most insane and malevolent Arab “think tanks” ever in existence, the Zayed Centre for Coordination and Followup—funded directly by the UAE government. link: 197 comments

YESTERDAY two political leaders responded to the big issue of our time. In Australia, Prime Minister John Howard observed that radical Islam is "utterly antagonistic to our kind of society".
In India, the Minister of Minority Welfare of Uttar Pradesh, Yaqoob Qureshi, offered a $14 million reward to anyone who beheaded one of the Danish cartoonists who drew images of Mohammed.
In their own distinct ways, both may contribute to Western countries recognising how serious, and how long-standing, is the challenge of radical Islam to the core of their culture.

NBC has breaking news on Quailgate, and it won't please the members of the Fourth Estate. It turns out that all of the witnesses to the shooting have a consistent story -- and it matches what Dick Cheney said all along about the accidental shooting of Harry Whittington:
NBC News has obtained new documents regarding the shooting accident involving Vice President Dick Cheney.NBC News filed an Open Records Act request with the sheriff's office in Kenedy County, Texas, which investigated the shooting. Late Wednesday, NBC received two dozen pages of documents, including hand-written affidavits on the shooting never before made public. ...

Hillary screeches that providing inner-city and poor students with more choice in education will lead to a a "school of the Church of the White Supremacist " and a "School of the Jihad."
Did someone slip some bourbon in her coffee before she went on stage or something? There are already voucher programs in parts of the US. Show me any of them where they dole out funds to Osama Bin Laden Elementary or the Robert "Sheets" Byrd White Power Middle School. It's not happening now, nor will it happen.Also, may I add that Hillary Clinton sent Chelsea to an exclusive private school. So, what's her real beef with allowing ordinary parents, who aren't as rich as the Clintons, to get the same kind of education for their children?

Twelfth Imam's Longterm Bolthole Bombed
One of the mosques attacked today in Iraq is not just any shrine, it’s the hiding place of the so-called “twelfth imam” who will return at the end of days to restore the world to a perfect Islamic society before Yawm al-Qiyamah—the day of resurrection: Al-Askariya shrine: ‘Not just a major cathedral’.
The cult of islam can scream about cartoons, but they care not about anyone else I'm a nominal Christian at best but I'm willing to stand up and say "Look, I don't respect Islam because it's bullshit".They have no respect for any holy place, of any true religion..how many Synagogues, how many Churches have they destroyed?What respect did they have when they blew up the incredible Buddhas of Gandhara in Afghanistan?

Too much time on their hands? Or too much spare ammunition? You be the judge.
William J. Bennett and Alan Dershowitz agree on "A Failure Of The Press".
Tim Denton mounts a defense of blogging. (Scroll up for the original post). " The ability to blog is both cheap and élitist at the same time. If we had no time, we could not blog. If we had no skills, we could not blog. But we have the time and the skills and we can provide the ballast, and the watchmen, in the ship of state."
A useful companion is Tim Denton's Netheads versus Bellheads. Denton and his co-authors argue conclusively that the Internet -- a stupid network in which the intelligence resides in the traffic -- trumps fixed intelligent networks like the telephone system and then explore the policy consequences therefrom. One of those co-authors, David Isenberg wrote The Dawn of the Stupid Network, which complements well the previous two works.
According to Dick Morris, former Vice President and lunatic-for-hire Al Gore may have enough momentum to steal the nomination away from Hillary Clinton in 2008.

Did UAE Save Bin Laden?
After reading and listening to huge amounts of debate on the UAE port deal, I’ve decided that although I am definitely not a supporter of the deal, I’m cautiously OK with it provided there is strict security supervision of the operations of DP World. (And I’m singularly unimpressed with those who call the people questioning this deal, “Islamophobic and un-American.”)The most persuasive argument in favor (for me, anyway) is that if a terrorist group wanted to attack through the ports, there are many less risky ways to do it than by infiltrating the company that schedules port operations. link: 141 comments
UN Peacekeepers' Ongoing Sexual Abuse Scandal
The head of United Nations peacekeeping operations says the incidence of sexual abuse in areas supervised by his organization is ... uh ... “too high.”
There are still too many complaints of sexual abuse against United Nations troops, the head of peacekeeping operations has said.
Jean-Marie Guehenno said the UN had investigated 295 cases under a new reporting system introduced last year.
It could take several more years to reform the system fully, says Jordan’s UN envoy who last year urged changes.
The 18 peace missions worldwide employ 85,000 staff from over 100 countries, with a budget of nearly $5bn.
Mr Guehenno said although significant progress had been made in reducing the number of cases of sexual exploitation following an investigation in the Democratic Republic of Congo two years ago, much more needed to be done.
“Allegations being lodged against UN peacekeeping personnel remain high and unacceptably so,” he said. He noted “how hard it is to change a culture of dismissiveness, long developed within ourselves, in our countries and in the mission areas.”
If y'all haven't yet seen it, the movie Broken Promises covers a lot of the U.N.'s failures and disgusting behaviors.

Only six months ago Islamic supremists exploded several buses and a subway train killing over 50 and wounding several hundred, and now we have pictures of them parading in suicide vests and holding signs reading "respect Islam" and "death to the Danes" and it is considered a lawful display of the right of free speech."
