Patterico's Pontifications

This Weekend’s Posts

Filed under: Blogging Matters,General — Patterico @ 6:25 am



You weekday-only readers missed a busy weekend here. You could just scroll down, but for the scroll-impaired, here’s a summary:

I am once again asking readers to tell us about themselves. We have pretty good participation now, with 114 comments as of the publishing of this post. If you have never left a comment mentioning something about yourself — especially if you’re a lurker — go here and leave one!

I unearth a buried L.A. Times story that reports that whites — not blacks — are disproportionately killed in Iraq. Hear that, Charlie Rangel?

There were a couple of posts about gay marriage this weekend. Dafydd ab Hugh had a post purporting to debunk certain “myths” about gay marriage, and I took a crack at refuting his post here. Although I support gay marriage, I praised an L.A. Times editorial writer for taking a stance in favor of Arnold’s veto of the gay marriage legislation — legislation which was passed on contravention of the California constitution. A debate is still raging on these and other topics in this thread, with 146 comments as of the publishing of this post.

I take a couple of swipes at Oliver Willis, here and here. In the first post, I tell a story about when I worked at a courthouse at 76th and Central in L.A.

Apparently taking potshots at easy targets was the theme this weekend, because I also mock Jimmy Carter.

Continuing the theme, I make fun of an L.A. Times reporter for not knowing what floor he was on.

I point readers to John Roberts’s answers to written questions.

I note Alex Kozinski whapping a sleazy lawyer good.

It’s another online politics test. Apparently I’m a social moderate and an economic conservative. Sounds about right.
