A Couple History Lessons

I'll let you in on a big secret: I like to surf the web at work. I wish I could do the youtube thing or IM'ing, but the tech gurus here are good. Instead, I really hit the blogs hard. Now, don't be surprised, but I don't really hit the cycling blogs all that hard; I tend more towards the political. If it comes with a history lesson I tend to get slightly too engorssed.

How I've been goldbricking lately:

Dave Niewert's ongoing essay on eliminationism in the USA
Mr. Niewert's a freelance journalist who specializes on white supremacy groups on the west coast. Totally engrossing. Also, check out his essay on the rise of pseudofascism.

Professor Juan Cole of the University of Michigan.

Steve Gilliard for some history and politics with attitude. Sometimes the photography's pretty good too.

Off to ride home now.

my blog isn't nearly as cerebral as those mentioned and frequented by you, but you are always welcome. You just have to be my myspace friend first, which I know is a huge pain in the ass.
