So the cool thing I thought I wanted to blog earlier was an organization of self-labeling RINOs, made of moderate conservatives who wore that stupid neocon-invented invective as a badge of pride. In certain frames, you see, I am one of them.

No links, unfortunately, because the relevant sites were, despite their stated intent, still entangled with destructive and hateful monstrosities like Little Green Footballs and Michelle Malkin. I'm sorry, but if you have those sites on your blogroll, you have The Taint and I have no truck with you. I am afraid you will bite me, and then I will have 28 seconds to kill myself.

So instead I will just tell you about Balloon Juice, because it is cool. So far. It is a centrist blog that someone mentioned to me at a party last weekend, after I whinged about the lack of obvious centrist blogs. No Malkin or LGF on its blogroll, and the content seems pretty tasty. (Admittedly, Hugh Hewitt is on the 'roll, which makes me grimace, for he carries the Taint in great abundance. But I'll let it pass for now.)

And I just created balloon_juice, so, la.
