Some interestingly-titled additions to the blog-roll include (relatively) new bloggers, a returnee from hiatus and a couple I’ve been meaning to link for ages. I assume William Burrough’s Baboon is some sort of allusion to the author of the Naked Lunch, but since I know him only as a minor character in Kerouac’s On the Road, I’ll wait for a reader to enlighten me. By comparison, Virulent Memes is straightforward (sometime I’ll address the question of whether the meme meme means much). New blogger Gianna has given her site the obscurely troubling title She Sells Sanctuary. vaara has recently returned from hiatus – his blog is called “silt”. Finally, except for a very mild pun in his alternate title, Martin Wisse plays it straight. A big welcome to all of them.

I’ve made room by dropping some blogs which have turned out to lie outside my corner of the blog ecosystem. To be less high-flown about it, I link people who link back to me or who I find interesting enough to comment on despite the absence of a reciprocal link. For a fairly comprehensive listing of Oz Political Blogs, visit Ken Parish’s blog, assuming he hasn’t moved it yet again. It was last sighted here.
