Who Put That Door There?

Want to bet that the short video of President George Bush pulling on locked doors while trying to leave a Beijing press conference will be one of the most passed-around videos of the month? Oops, it already is, judging by today's BlogPulse results. Today's No. 4 and No. 9 top links and top two news stories (all from the BBC) feature that "What, Me Worry?" look on the face of the President and a link to the video. Is this the President's long-awaited exit strategy, asks J-Walk Blog? A Finnish blogger titles it simply, "Photo of the Day."

"There Is No God"
Comedian/illusionist Penn Jillette offered up a commentary for NPR's popular "This I Believe" segment, and it's today's second most-cited link. Except it's about a topic of non-belief, one sure to touch some nerves and titled simply "There Is No God." Metafilter calls it "a hell of a brave stand." Says Ratcliffe blog: it's provocative and convincing.

The list no one wants to make
Poor Camden, N.J. For the second year in a row, it's been named the country's most dangerous city, (today's 31st most-cited link), and it's not happy. The Trenchcoat Chronicles pokes fun, and "J's notes" is happy to be ranked No. 5.
