Far From Mondane

Be sure to include among your Monday reads:

• Blawg Review #42, in which Kevin Thompson reveals how blawgs are the answer to life, the universe, and everything;


• Mad Kane's pleas to several unfilibustery Senators, which rely on the time-honored tenet that it's difficult to resist a request that rhymes (if my younger self could finagle a kitten out of my parents in like manner, certainly Mad has a fighting chance); and


• WELCOME, blawgosphere and NY Times darling David Lat, and eager sidekick Alex Pareen, to Wonkette!
