Fresh Meat!

Every now and again we have to give the ol' blogroll a bit of a shake, as once-prolific sites go dark or transmogrify into new forms.

But the flip side of this is that we also ad talent from time to time. Thus, I've taken the opportunity here to clean up our Orgle-licious Quiche column.

First, I finally got around to properly alphabetizing it, Steve.

Second, I am delighted to introduce some new blogs where I have been hanging around a lot recently. I hope you'll take the opportunity to check them out if you don't already read them:

Absinthe & Cookies - Ith is much like me, writing about whatever occurs to her. Always fresh and interesting.

Bad Hair Blog - I should have 'rolled Fausta's blog a long time ago. Lots of current events. Quality stuff and always tastefully covered with a scarf.

Feisty Repartee - Christina recently has swept into our part of the Blogsphere with wickedly enjoyable results. This blog, as advertised, is feisty.

Galley Slaves - This is a new blog run by a couple of the Young Bucks from the Weekly Standard when they think Fred Barnes' back is turned.

Owlish Mutterings - Owlish is a pal of our friend JohnL and is another voice from deep in the heart of Texas.

The Sundries Shack - Once you've got your deli order here, why not step over to Jimmie's place? Plenty o' this and that to be had. And for a limited time, he's got Nichole nee Potomac Ponderings guest-blogging with him. (Note to Nichole - let us know when you head back to your old digs and we'll gladly put you right back up on our roll.)

Welcome aboard to all of you! Yip! Yip! Yip!
