Wearin' of the Green, Bettin' in the Pool
Everyone who's Irish today (or claims to be) is taking time to recognize St. Patrick's Day. How do we know? Among today's key blog phrases are St. Patrick's Day itself (No. 14 key phrase) and one of the holiday's most notable foods, corned beef and cabbage (what? no green beer?). The Art of Getting By blogger has a thoughtful essay on all things Irish. That other March pasttime is also there, evidenced by the phrases "March Madness", followed by "office pools" and "NCAA tournament." Which gets more buzz? You might be surprised:
Stirring rants
The blogosphere this week contains some gems, too...essays, videos and a "quote of the week" worth pointing out, including AmericaBlog.com's plea for an end to sloppy journalism (today's No. 9 top blog post), a video of actor James Spader's "Boston Legal" rant about the deteriorating of legal rights (and outrage) in America (featured at No. 6 blog post from Crooks & Liars blog), and this "quote of the week" from Wayne Besen's blog.
Maj. Mosquito?
And couldn't help but notice this "huh?" story from the BBC, about Pentagon plans for an insect army? (today's' No. 20 most-cited link). "Creepy," comments Adam's Life blogger. Indeed.
