I have wasted a bunch of time I could not really afford to waste reading Abu Mugawama’s blog tonight. So naturally I think everyone else ought to do the same.

First off, read this post on the American attack into Syrian. Be sure to follow all the links and read all the comments.

Then read Abu Mugawama/Andrew Exum’s post of the week. In fact, you should do this every week.

For those that don’t know, Andrew Exum outed himself and retired from the blog that he started because of time constraints. That lasted all of a couple of months before he was suckered into coming back. The deal was that he would only write one post a week. He has sort of stuck to this schedule. Which is to say; he writes one post a week and sometimes he writes more.

It was a good thing he came back because his blog was getting boring without him. The others are cool and all (particularly Londonstani) but Abu Mugawama has consistently demonstrated that he is the best of the best and the rest are just the rest. That is not to say I agree with all the time (or even most of time) but he is one of the few people out there who consistently makes me feel dumb by comparison. Plus, he manages to bring out the best of his excellent comment section.

I only wished he could cover more areas of the world. On the other hand, I am thankful that he seems to have limitations.
