Round the Blog-o-Hexagon

Riots in France by Adrien Wing, November 3, in blackprof.com. Thoughtful and under two pages.

The problem with France by Steve Gilliard, November 6th, in stevegilliard.blogspot.com, both a piece from the Euro version of Boonews and some background pieces (and the link to the Vlaams Blok is correctly labeled too).

http://direland.typepad.com/direland/2005/11/why_is_france_b.html WHY IS FRANCE BURNING? by Doug Ireland, also November 6th, in direland.typepad.com is a long and valuable background piece. html anchor removed because of typepad trackback overhead.

Riots: Not Just For France Anymore by Matt Yglesias isn't about France, which is probably just as well.

If Google is to be trusted, Wampum isn't blogging about Seine-Saint-Denis or Nicolas Sarkozy or Dominic de Villepin or ... France.

If you know of more blogs that aren't either derivative or just plain stupid, stuff the URL in comments.

See those four squares in our logo? We call it the cursor, and like an old-school command prompt, it means we're awaiting input. current.tv

The new Muslim zine Hot Coals (http://www.hotcoals.org) has an article from Naima Bouteljda about the French riots that I think is quite good.

The greatest blog ever written is one that I write. And that's a coincidence, I swear. A complete and total accident of Fate. I'm not arrogant, just a very handsome, fit and overly smart victim of circumstance.
