Yea, Blogstop, I move around quite a bit like you (often plus Jo Nova) on days when I can be bothered, but I rarely comment anywhere else. Lately I don’t bother as much as I used to. Burn out? Or just good sense and better things to do?

Nearly always hop quickly into the Cat though, say hello to people here, pick up the goss. Seems the right and sociable thing to do.

Also, the Cat takes one on new slants – you can find yourself drawn into discussions on anything from mysticism to revolution vs rebellion. Or poetry (Despair not Blogstrop and do not regret those ‘smouldering palaces’, sic transit gloria after all in all things, our small dreams as well as the work of kings. )

Jim Rose, I think I as an undergraduate I was simplistic about dichotomising rebellion as protest and revolution as overthrow. I would be less certain of my distinctions these days. Control of institutionalalised force though is still always key to gaining and keeping control elsewhere in a polity.

BOBBY THE BUNGHOLER

I like it. Think I might use that one. It does have something over Bobby Brown(cock).

I always check in with a number of sources each day I have time to. But it’s not always worth the effort.
The Australian is doing it’s job and employing a range of opinionistas. The SMH still has two good ones, Sheehan and Henderson, plus Costello from time to time.
News Blogs (Blair and Bolt particularly) have a shockingly slow comments moderation system that pretty much neuters them in that aspect, but they are worth reading for themselves. I read Ackerman and Devine but not the comments.
I don’t bother with The Age or ABC sites unless linked by a reliable commenter/blogger. I do listen to ABC radio (to and from work as much as I can bear)and watch their appalling news on TV as I can’t stand the commercial stations. It’s instructive, to say the least. The 7.30 Report with Sales is execrable. A bit better with Uhlmann, but he’s (in the final analysis) in the wrong tent and unable to put the boot in as forcefully as is required. In his case, how can you be “married to the mob” and still be an umpire? Same goes for Jacinta.

I never read Bolt unless someone else points to a post -usually on the Cat – that is worth reading.

Doesn’t that just say everything about the rednecks that frequent Catallaxy!

That comment says everything about the sanctimonious posturing, the self-preening moral bankruptcy, of the left.

Hammygar, please outline how Jools’ grand over-arching strategy for re-election is panning out.
