Cool Web Sites, Hot War Talk
From two ends of the spectrum come these blog discoveries today: the New Yorker's Seymour Hersh (author of today's top-linked news story) takes a look at U.S. interest - and involvement in - the current Israel-Lebanon War, and Time magazine ranks the 50 Coolest Web sites .
Hersh, who I'm pretty sure is listed as the Webster's definition for "investigative reporter," has opened the can of worms about Israel's now cease-fired campaign against Lebanon, but as the Tropics of Cancer blogger observes, "all of a sudden, Lebanon makes more sense." The rest of the Hersh-related commentary so far on BlogPulse is decidedly international in flavor.
Time's Top 50
As for Time's coolest Web sites, the singled out include Podcast Pickle, Not Martha and Seamless Web, for those who feel compelled to order restaurant food online. As one blogger asks, is it fair to rank your coolness factor on how many of the 50 you've actually visited?
OK, everyone. Back to the classroom!
Cruise through today's most-blogged phrases and you'll detect a definite back-to-school flavor. They include "school starts next Monday," "first day of band camp," "wisdom teeth pulled" (always done in summer, as every parent knows) and the ever-popular "financial aid."
