Center of Attention
Some extra attention to a few Centrist blogs.
(links do not necessarily reflect the opinion of anyone blogging at TMV)
Pete Abel at Central Sanity on “k-street and the new Congress”. How to limit lobbyist-power?
Ron Beasley at Middle Earth Journal: Lunatics getting Air Time. Pat Robertson on Fox.
The African American Political Pundit at Mirror on America on the hanging of Saddam Hussein and Obama’s… troubled high school and college years.
Shay at Booker Rising presents the quote of the day. Today’s quote is from James Shikwati, Kenyan libertarian economist.
