…i was tagged. mucho thanks to jerusalem for tagging me as someone she enjoys reading as her “daily dose,” although i don’t post daily, which should make you glad, because many days it would go like this.

simon won’t stop whining.

simon is clingy today.

simon is sitting on my feet.

so in honor of the political season (we have the longest of any country), i am tagging three blogs i read daily that all frequently comment on the current political setting in our country. they write about many other fascinating subjects as well, so check them out even if you don’t care about politics. also, they are all three men who are far too cool to respond to tagging, so i certainly won’t expect it of them, and neither should you. as far as i can tell, i think that tagging is sort of girly, but don’t blush fellows.

wordful. a friend from our seattle days, david leong. in his own words, he writes about:

issues of justice, culture, ‘religion’ (or whatever that means to you), christianity (the kind about jesus, not the “exclusively conservative fundamentalist republican” type), and the random tensions i see in everyday life as i attempt to live out my humanity with compassion and humility in what is so often a contradictory and market-driven, narcissistic society.

joy comes in the morning. jeff lam is another of our students in seattle, who has grown up into a wonderful young man who works in the public school system of seattle. (or in other words, is a saint.) reading david and jeff help me to feel like we’re not that far away from seattle, a town we miss terribly.

most sincerely folks. i don’t know this fellow, and i am a little afraid of tagging him (or communicating with him at all…i’ve never even commented on his blog), but i do read him daily, mostly because he is hysterical. he writes from ireland about american politics and news (among many other things) with a perspective that i simply couldn’t get anywhere else, plus the extra gift of his sardonic wit in almost every post is almost always good for a snicker. i can’t remember how i found this blog, but this was the post that made me subscribe.
