What's Old is New, What's New is Old, and Pregnancy is Forever?

The time-space contiuum is all over the place in the blogosphere today, with a new interface for the photo-sharing site Flickr capturing attention as today's top blog post, followed by Google's latest new tool, Google Notebook (No.8). What's old, at least to some hard-core conservative bloggers, is President George Bush's "same old, same old" message on immigration reform.

Nine Months...Ad Nauseum (and no pun intended)
But what's risen to the top of today's most-trafficked news stories, amidst tales of NSA spying and Mexican fences, is a Washington Post piece "Forever Pregnant," on a new initiative to encourage women to be always at the ready to be pregnantly healthy. The Suburban Guerilla describes it as the "Department of Pre-Pregnancy," while Pacific Views can't help but notice that the health of potential fathers isn't even whispered. No need to ask for discussion: it already exists.

More New Stuff
Also popping today: the trailer for Oliver Stone's pending "World Trade Center" movie (No. 9 top link), announcement of free Skype phone calls (No. 6) and attacks on Al Gore before he's even taken his global warming message all that far.
