Making a List, Checking it Twice

I went through my reading list to the right, intending to prune (did not) and add a few more sites (actually, I'm supposed to be doing work and I'm procrastinating). The new listings are: Professor Juan Cole's Informed Comment site (he's a well-informed expert who seems to be getting more and more annoyed at the sheer incompetence of the Administration); Today in Iraq, a comprehensive summary of news about the war and related issues; and Slacktivist, because it's interesting and I wish I could write like that.
