[META] Blogroll Expansion

[rfmcdonald]

• BAGnewsNotes, a group blog featuring the talents of Alan Chin, Nina Berman, and John Lucaites, analyzes news photos for their hidden symbolisms. The look at the sexist framing of Nancy Pelosi in a recent shot as a freak-show hysteric is classic.


• Bruce Sterling's Beyond the Beyond covers an "eclectic range of technology topics." His observations about the bizarre pro-Saakashvili Russian invasion hoax in Georgia is interesting.


• I don't know why I didn't link to czalex's blog before now, but it's now on my blogroll. It's an interesting blog examining Belarus and Russia. His commentary on Belarus' very weak bargaining position re: Russia on gas transit and other issues is worth reading.
