The Above Linkblogs Might Contain "Borrowed" links.
Linkblogs do not substantially contribute traffic to my blog that I can discover. They all go offsite, and are often accessed from my blog. It's possible to access them from the RSS according to my settings. Still, even if I were to get ads clicking on a linkblog from the RSS won't drive more people to my blog than otherwise because they leave my resources. (Note to self, do more posts, less LBs with sources I find). I explain because I sometimes borrow links from people at Twitter, and often forget who put them up. (To fellow Twitterers: If you have a link to your blog, I will point it there, but Twitter, being impermanent, cannot hold your link for people to discover from there. I only 'borrow' them to get news out to as many people as I can who might not have seen the reports and videos found by the smart people I follow at Twitter or find in search rooms.RSS Add-Me
New Book: Bush's Bike Ride Beat Katrina Worries
There's a new book out that sounds like it has some gotcha moments with mostly apologia for the Bushies at least where the 'likeable' president is concerned.
Number one apologia is that Bush was "gassed" (CBS interprets that as "tired") after an intense bike ride and that's why he was so quiet at the pre-Katrina meeting with then FEMA director Mike Brown according to Robert Draper's book . You might also want to remember that the Bush team makes up all kinds of excuses for Bush's failings and passes them to whichever venue they think will be timely and believable. With Draper's book "Dead Certain: The Presidency of George Bush" coming out about the time of another Katrina anniversary, it makes one wonder.
Even if not, Bush knew that Katrina was an incredible threat before his "bike ride", but must have given more priority to an extreme workout than a looming disaster that was later described as affecting 1/4 of the land mass of the United States.
Another of Draper's assertions that John Roberts suggested Harriet Miers be chosen for a Supreme Court slot was shot down by the Chief Justice through his spokeswoman.
It looks like the Bush administration found another gullible journalist to "play". It's nice to know
