More blog round-up. Oxblog fisks a witless NYTimes editorial about war casualties.

Aaron's Rantblog reprints Bob Dylan's "The Neighborhood Bully," a pro-Israel song from his album Infidels, with lots of embedded links.
. . . Well, he's surrounded by pacifists who all want peace,
They pray for it nightly that the bloodshed must cease.
Now, they wouldn't hurt a fly.
To hurt one they would weep.
They lay and they wait for this bully to fall asleep.
He's the neighborhood bully.

Every empire that's enslaved him is gone,
Egypt and Rome, even the great Babylon.
He's made a garden of paradise in the desert sand,
In bed with nobody, under no one's command.
He's the neighborhood bully.
The Head Heeb reminds us of the venerable Jewish community of Cairo, Egypt - home to both Maimonides and Isaac Luria.

Kehaar over at Silflay Hraka has rounded up some links pro and con on drilling for oil in the Alaskan National Wildlife Refuge.

Diane reflects on the blog community.
I am a sort-of-hawk (at least, conditionally pro-war), and I am communicating with a Baghdadi from New York City; an Israeli puts up a mirror site for this Iraqi; the guy in Baghdad wishes an Israeli woman and her family well while he is about to be shocked and awed by my country's unparalleled ability to wage war; she puts up a website from the IDF Home Command for him to download a PDF survival guide in Arabic.
Yes.
