Ezra Pound Cake

New on the blogroll: Ezra Pound Cake:

Prior to starting Ezra Pound Cake in March 2008, I was head pastry chef at a German bakery in my hometown. Before that, I spent 10 years as a professional writer. Now, I use my master’s in English strictly to come up with badass blog names.

I write Ezra Pound Cake to chronicle my life, share recipes and encourage people to cook real food.

New to the blogroll: Fugitive Ink.

Fugitive Ink addresses issues of politics, art and literature from an unapologetically idiosyncratic, vaguely High Tory perspective.

Hey, careful where you point that thing...

The proprietress of Magick Sandwich just got some bad news--she's not moral enough to participate in BlogRush:

This message is to inform you that
we have carefully reviewed your blog:
Magick Sandwich
And your blog did not meet the
strict BlogRush quality criteria.

Reason Your Blog Wasn't Approved:
Inappropriate Content Or Advertising: Obscene or Disgusting

Naturally, she was delighted:

Oh my God, this is so exciting- my content is obscene or disgusting! Not to quibble, but obscenity and disgust aren't mutually exclusive are they?

But this is not a wholesale rejection- oh, no. If I can "improve the quality" of my blog, I can reapply after thirty days. Does this mean I just need to be more tastefully obscene? What does this word mean, anyway?

It's a new blog, but it shows a lot of promise, and a certain twisted sensibility that I think enrevanche readers (both of you!) will enjoy.

(I can't imagine what the bluenoses at BlogRush were objecting to. Oh, wait...)

Blogrolled: Magick Sandwich.

Blogroll revision: Fallen Icarus

While Kat's primary blogsite, formerly known as "The Wisdom of Change" (and blogrolled here for a long time) is being remodeled and renovated, you can find her over at Fallen Icarus.

Good stuff: Chowderhead Bazoo.

Check out the Bane of My Existence series.

This one hits a little too close to home.

New on the blogroll: Indexed

Have you seen Indexed?

It's mostly just Venn diagrams drawn on 3 x 5 index cards, but Jessica Hagy does it with wit and style and occasional flashes of genius.

New on the blogroll: Obsidian Wings

New on the blogroll this week: Obsidian Wings, a group blog with a certain somethin'-somethin' that I like.

Posters skew libertarian but come from all points on the political spectrum; however, when *consensus* blog links include Lileks, Volokh, Sully and TPM, I sit up and take notice. It's not the usual echo chamber, and while the commenters aren't above throwing elbows, they seem uncommonly civil and intelligent by the standards of most political blogs on either "side" of the current false dichotomy.

Hat tip: deVille.
