Rocky Mountain Blog Roundup!

Yeehaw, it's the premier edition. Save it, it'll be a collector's item.

Much thanks to the bloggers who participated. Here's what they sent, in order of receipt.

Recently revived blogger Matthew Edgar (um, that's his blog that was revived) notes that when it comes to foreign aid, some needs are more basic than others. There's an interesting point about regulation in there, too.

Matt Moore beats The Man. Fight the power!

Talkleft sends a good-news story from right here in Colorado. That's the sort of thing that makes a person happy to live here. Hope it sets a national precedent.

Colorado Luis thinks U.S. immigration policy might get a much needed dose of common sense. And for me, this RMBR thing has already paid of because Luis has a good blog that I hadn't read before.

Tim Berglund reports on Christmas Pageant '03. He's got pictures! 9.5 on the cuteness scale. Warning: includes the term, 'kerygma.'

Andrew Olmsted has an analysis of the casualty estimates from the Samarra ambush. I think Andrew's article got some play around the 'sphere, so be sure not to miss it.

Dave Cullen has been stuck in Chicago. Does he miss Denver? Is that possible? Send him your condolences.

Jed at FreedomSight writes about distractions, risk, human nature, and coping with it all. Remember to turn all that stuff off. You'll have to read it for an explanation.

Zombyboy lives in Colorado. Now you're asking yourself, does a Zomby live anywhere? The answer is, it depends how you spell it. He sent this post about the limits of the separation of church and state. Peanut butter is mentioned.

Andy at the World Wider Ant didn't think any of his recent posts stood out, but that's because they're all top quality, which is why that site gets a bajillion readers. Every day. I liked this post about a security failure at Denver's airport. I meant to write about that myself.

VodkaPundit Stephen Green has this post about Saddam's capture, and what's to learn from it. I picked that for him, too.

Well, if you've made it this far, you might as well go over and read what I wrote about campaign finance reform and how it hurts democracy.

There are some other very good Colorado bloggers out there, (Gary, are you listening?) so tune in a couple of weeks from now, when Andrew Olmsted hosts the next exciting episode of The Rocky Mountain Blog Roundup.

I think this is conclusive evidence that Colorado has the most blogging talent of any spot on the planet, at least on a per capita basis.
