AM Edition - Special Announcement

The AM Edition of Blog Watch II will be on sabbatical until further notice. Many thanks to loyal readers. The excellent Tony Adragna PM Edition continues, Kevin Holtsberry continues his fine edition, and, of course, there's the original, and still the best--Tim Blair's Blog Watch I.

Gotta do what you can just to keep your blog alive
Trying not to confuse it with what you do to survive
In oh-two I was forty nine and called a Blog Watch my own
I don't know when that Blog Watch turned onto the blog I'm on

Running on--running on empty
Running on--running blind
Running on--running into the sun
But I'm running behind.
