1. Review of the movie, The Watchmen, at Haterade. I don’t know a thing about the movie, my kids haven’t heard of it so that must mean it’s not for kids or being advertised on Nick or Disney and my friend Nerdette’s tweets are what got me wondering. I haven’t read her review yet, but I know how she writes – if you want to read a good read, I’m guessing her review will satisfy (hint: she didn’t like it).
2. I want to give a shout-out to Dave Mastio of BlogNetNews. I took down the influence ranking thing a few months ago and I’m leaving it down, but I want him to know that BNN/Ohio is one of the first and sometimes the only thing I look at in a day to see what my fellow Ohio political bloggers are writing about. I still have its search tool on my sidebar for anyone interested in searching jut Ohio blogs.
So, in light of #2, here are a couple of posts I found today that are worth clicking on:
3. Clips & Comments posted a 90 second animation about Gaza and Israeli (do go watch it) that was done by the animation director of Waltz with Bashir. Watching it caused me to then research Gisha, which Pelican linked to, and NGO Monitor, because I wanted to know more about Gisha. Then, I had to tweet Jillian York because frankly I couldn’t figure out which of the two has a stronger bias in one direction. That, unfortunately, is something you must always consider when considering commentary on the Middle East. It does not negate the value of what you’re reading, but it’s that media literacy thing, and you must take it into consideration as you watch and read everything.
4. Bill Callahan writes about the effect of finally doing rather than just talking when it comes to redistricting Cleveland’s city coucil ward boundaries. It’s not pretty. And I’d want to know from Bill, what does it really all matter – what will the eventual impact really be?
5. I’ve been recognized as the Journalist of the Month by Women’s eNews. More when it’s available – but they’re actually talking to other people about me first, and then they do a written profile of me. Here’s a list of past recipients. I’m the first blogger ever selected (although I prefer to say, writer who is being recognized in particular for her blogging).

Nice! Congratulations.
Jill…Congratulations! How exciting and well deserved.
on the flip side, i really liked watchmen. However, it is most certainly not for children
Watchmen is an excellent movie, but most certainly not for kids. The comic it’s from is also very much a comic for adults.
