I've no qualms about the ownership... (4.00 / 8)

other than the fact that what I post might take a different direction than they intend (whatever that is).

I want to do the best work possible. In the past 7 or 8 months I've spent considerable effort and money in upping my game. I don't know if it has been enough to avoid making a complete fool of myself, but I'll hazard the humiliation. ET's a good place for me to do this.

I've certainly noticed your commentary coming on a lot, in scope and assertiveness. Keep up the good work.

PS a "best of the blogs" feature where you list some of the really good stuff you come across on your foreign policy travels could be a useful regular feature!

I've thought about doing, "Share your blogroll/homepage tabs/favorites" diaries before, with some commentary or reviews. I don't know why I quit on the one I had started, but sure, that's an easy idea to revisit.

As well as the links themselves, it is also useful to know why the link was/is useful to you. I find it easier to intuit a site if a known source gives a framing view.

You've only to go to my info page here, at dkos or at Congress Matters to find out where my blog is and to learn more about me. My 41 link blogroll is already there, though I haven't updated it for a few months.

The links fall into several categories: blogs, news, journals/think tanks, and miscellaneous. Every link is related to this foreign policy thing I'm engaged in (it has quite taken over my life at this point but I still feel the need to put in a big effort.)

I wouldn't think of posting such a diary without including the links anyways...I'm a sharing kinda guy, you know.
