Ezzie's Blog Roundup, 5/16

Went to sleep early last night, so here are some good posts to check out. If you only have time for a few, read the ones in bold. [click on the timestamp. I really need to fix the template, eh?]

Hayom & SoccerDad also have some links.

Pleasure (?!):

"I Got Your Blog", the new hit single by PsychoToddler and Dr. Bean (of Kerchoff).

Skills everyone should have III - Robbie. Yuck.

Abuse:

Typolad of BAlC has a great post expressing his anger at not being surprised by sexual abuse allegations. Orthomom says something along the same lines, expanding on it a bit.

On the Main Line brings in a great point.

I'm Ha'aretz brings up another aspect in an excellent post.

And, semi-related, Wolf has a "Quote of the Day" - that's the problem, isn't it?

Issues:

Orthonomics with a heart-wrenching guest post on tuition and debt.

JoeSettler on how the rich get rich.

And Shanna discovers that God drives a BMW (picture). (via DovBear)

RafiG gives a little Torah on why we should do our best... and learns a lesson in unity from his tile guy.

Bein Adam L'Chavero's Oose writes his first-ever post. It's a doozy: "Do we really care?"

Lag B'Omer:

Treppenwitz describes celebrating it as well as one can...

Some people around here made a bonfire as well, and good for them - but it just isn't the same, ya know?

What it's all about: Life-of-Rubin.

Steg on why he celebrates.

DovBear discusses the Zohar.

Politics:

Sickos on the left (via EKvetcher)... and the right (via TownCrier). Interesting take by Romach.

Israel:

EoZ writes Reuters about "truces". Funny, sad, and true all at once.

SoccerDad links to the pictures from Daniel Wultz' funeral.

Miscellaneous:

I'm Ha'aretz had an unhappy Mother's Day.

Jack asks how people came up with their blog names. Interesting answers, so far...

Woah. Enjoy!
