Too Many Dicks on the Dancefloor*

Looking over my blog links, I noticed there are too many guys and the ratio is way off. So I added Majikthise, who is Canadian also so that makes a twofer as the tactless say. I also added Michael Bérubé who is blogging again and is very funny, especially about the raging stupidity and hubris in politics. Yes he plays hockey. Yes his name looks suspiciously French. No he's not Canadian.** I've also added A Fistful of Euros which provides a European perspective on the Ongoing Clusterfuck*** in the financial markets and wider economy.

-----------------
* Doesn't one of the dancers in the video look like a Village Person, specifically Randy the Cowboy?
** Actually, yes he is of French-Canadian ancestry, though. (Added this note after I was corrected in the comments. Reminds me of what Alexander Cockburn once said about the corrections section newspapers tuck away on page 2 or 3, admitting mistakes in previous edtions. The real purpose is to convince the reader everything else in the paper is true.
*** I believe Tom Tomorrow coined this. William Safire recently had a contest in his Language column to name the current situation in the economy and this would be my nomination.
