Coffee Hour

CC the cranky blog reviewer

by Chalicechick

OK, back off kids.

CC’s in a pissy mood this week because this chick she knows dissed CC’s wedding invitation.

So she will be extra mean tonight.

Well, maybe not.

But it sure would be nice if some blog would come along and cheer me up.

Queen Latifah’s song U-N-I-T-Y was not her best work.

On a completely unrelated note, Adam Tierney-Eliot’s blog Unity, is not a bad blog, when it is updated. Which it isn’t often. But reading Tierney-Eliot’s post this week about the fall season in his church makes me want to show up one Sunday and check it out.

See? That was nice?

Rick’s Rants has a short post eulogizing Kilgore Trout, a fictional character created Kurt Vonnegut whom Kurt Vonnegut has now declared dead.

Ironically, no UU blog I’ve seen so far has mentioned the death of famous dead UU Christopher Reeve. So now one has.

(If I missed your mention of Reeve, I apologize.)

In an unrelated side note, I do have my issues with William “Polity? What polity? I even get to tell y’all how to talk” Sinkford. But anybody who can write a statement on Reeves’ death without mentioning Superman has to be something of a class act.

Respectful of Otters puts me in a difficult position as I consider myself a reviewer of liberal religion blogs and it really isn’t one. So if you’re looking for a religion blog, you don’t have to go.

But I suspect most if not all UUs like a snarky politics blog every now and again, and Respectful of Otters is a fine example of the breed. From its first sentence “If you're going to try to pull off a slimy election trick, you need to do it right,” it had me reading, if only because I was worried that they were writing about one of my clients.

Unfortunately, every other blog I looked at tonight was about politics.

Reading them, I get the sense that sometimes, you kids don’t like the president. Fair enough. But all people deeply in love sound alike and all people complaining about Bush sound alike. So the folks that I mention whose words have stuck with me are the exception, not the rule

If you’re in the mood for politics and Respectful of Otters wasn’t enough, MyIrony has a nice take on John Stewart taking “Crossfire” to task.

Bonus points to Chutney for using the word “bitchslapping,” which really should appear in more religion blogs.

CC
who is actually feeling somewhat better, thanks for asking.
