Announcement and some good links
First an announcement:
Billy and I are excited to announce that former Daily Illini Editor in Chief, outstanding political commentator/blogmaster, journalist extraordinaire, fierce political operative, and all around badass Kiyoshi Martinez will be joining us blogging at Urbanagora.
Yoshi, Welcome to the Agora!
A few more blogs worth checking out:
First, my buddy Mike sent me a link to a pro-Obama blog with a fairly comprehensive post on why Democrats should support Senator Obama, and not Senator Clinton. It’s biased, sure, but the author is up front about it. Check back to the main page for updates.
Second, Mandasaurus, who used to post occasionally at America vs. the World, has started her own blog. Mandasaurus is a friend of the Agora and a veteran of the Daily Illini. I’ve invited her to consider blogging with us here.
A few other links that may be of interest:
Check out this parody video about John McCain up (which Brian Pierce and I Gchated to each other at exactly the same time - Jinx!).
Last night Billy sent me this “Had a Bad Day video.” It has probably been around for a while, but it’s hilarious. Billy and I are both advocates of the occasional disproportionate response, a great example takes place starting around 3:10 into the video. Billy’s favorite part is the treatment of the smoker in the men’s room.
