Cruisin' the Blogs, Bulgaria edition

The "great experiment" continues...!

This week, I'm doing the show from Sofia, Bulgaria. I'll be doing the show from Bulgaria Tuesday through Friday for the next two weeks and then Tuesday through Friday, February 7 - 10, from Skopje, Macedonia. Cruisin' the Blogs will be back on its regular schedule beginning Valentine's Day, February 14.

The line-up for Monday/Tuesday, January 23/24, is a good one.

  • James Wolcott writes for Vanity Fair magazine. He uses words the way surgeons use scalpels and everyone who reads him says the same thing - they'd NEVER want to get on his bad side. He also publishes his own weblog titled, oddly enough, James Wolcott. Wolcott shares his thoughts with us today on the recent audio tape from Osama bin Laden.
  • Amanda at the Think Progress weblog catches the Bush White House in a lie about Jack Abramoff - AND PROVES IT!
  • Another post at Think Progress, this time by Judd, speculates on whether the photos of George Bush and Jack Abramoff that have popped up recently at both the Washingtonian and Time Magazine might have come from Abramoff himself.
  • Molly Ivins, one of my favorite columnists who writes on politics, Texas and other bizarre happenings, has a post today on the Alternet website. To say that she is unhappy with Democrats would be an understatement.
  • Fred Phelps, the pastor of Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas, has become notorious for his hate-based ranting against gays, even going to far as to lead his flock to demonstrate at the funeral of Matthew Shephard, the young gay man who was beaten to death in Laramie, Wyoming. They stood outside the church chanting, "Matthew is going to hell" if you can believe it. Pam at the weblog Pandagon takes a look at Phelps latest crusade.
  • The Washington Note's Steve Clemons, a very solid and informed blogger who we've featured several times here on Cruisin' the Blogs, is back with some disturbing information about what's taking place that may be potentially be laying the groundwork for U.S. military action against Iran.
"Cruisin' the Blogs" is my daily blog review radio show airing on WBAT (Buenos Aires Today), an internet radio station in Buenos Aires, Argentina. You can listen Monday through Friday, 11-12 in the morning, Argentina time (9-10 a.m., U.S. eastern time and 2 p.m. UTC). The program repeats at 10-11 p.m., Argentina time. WBAT is the first english language radio station in Argentina.
