El Bush
: Alaa, the Iraqi blogger, talks about Bush:

Some time ago one friend commented something about my being anti-Bush!! And It has been in the back of mind ever since to say something about this. Me, anti-Bush!!!

Regardless of any election campaign, this man has already established himself in our hearts and minds, and forever. And it is one of my cherished dreams that one day his statue will stand in the middle of Baghdad and that all the people realize finally and unequivocally the friendship that this president of America had for them and the great favor that he has done them.

We sure wish that he be re-elected to complete the great work that he started. The job does not need any new experimenting and trial and error. But of course this is not for us to decide and we have to wait for the decision of the American people.

Nevertheless, and for my self I wish to send my heartfelt best wishes to my favorite American, El Bush, the Liberator, the Avenger.

I like the idea of that statue in Firdaus Square.

Milestones
: Blogging British MP Tom Watson has been doing it for a year.

My blogging space
: There’s a meme going through Finnish and German blogs: pictures of my blogging space (see here, here, here, here, here).

I’d join in, but my blogging space is everywhere. Heck, today, I blogged from the choirloft of my church. I’ve blogged from the couch and bed and the kitchen counter. I’ve blogged from my desk and even from my car. I blog everywhere.

But let’s see where you blog.

It’s spreading

Strange bedfellow
: Robert Cox reports that Tucker Carlson says Al Sharpton is negotiating to get a show on FoxNews.
