The Duc Pond

My first experience with the Carnival of the New Jersey Bloggers was when Sluggo Needs a Nap hosted with a link to The New Wisdom. A neat experience, I thought. Why not host myself?

The Opinion Mill offers up a way of segmenting post-war Iraq.

Little Steven Van Zant and the Catholic Church are two recent topics of discussion at The Contrarian.

Xpatriated Texan discusses the role of County Chairs in NJ state politics.

Tammany on the Hudson cites an apparently rare case where Hudson County politicians do some old fashioned public representation.

Armies of Liberation gives a very well-researched rundown of Yemen’s transgressions.

Poor Impulse Control discusses cat graves and comparison shopping, to say the least.

Attack of the 15.24 Meter Blog! gives a review of a Steve Hackett concert. I don’t know Genesis very well, sorry to say.

Jersey Beat reviews an experience of the Nintendo Fusion Tour at Roseland. Apparently not a fan of the emo…

Lacey Road has done some excellent sleuthing to discover what appears to be a forged signature on a state elections filing.

Gigglechick is on a tear, getting to meet Jon Corzine and (essentially) getting on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Awesome!

Media in Trouble covers the Superfund law, takes WNYC to task over coverage of the gubernatorial election, and some inconsistencies over support of Harriet Miers (that Supreme Court appointment debacle is a favorite topic of mine lately).

Blue Jersey covers a visit by Congressman Rush Holt to a Princeton bar.

Digital Breakfast offers new investment updates. Gotta admit, I’m not a fan of technical analysis myself.

eCache discusses New Jersey’s massive fiscal problems.

Confessions of a Jersey Goddess shares a little music with us (prepare for sound when the page loads)!

The Center of NJ Life summarizes some points of a recent Corzine-Forrester debate.

DynamoBuzz offers coverage of the same debate.

Enlighten-NewJersey sends you to a Harvard personality test that assess your political leanings.

The Wrightwing represents my views on prayer and coaching pretty damn well.

Cripes, Suzette! makes a good case for the existence of a Dirty Laundry Fairy. My mother was good like this too.

The Eternal Golden Braid discusses quantum physics as art, giant snails on Dione (Saturn moon), and all kinds of other neat stuff. I’m quite the space/science buff, so this is a neat place.

SmadaNek offers some issues that could sway NJ moderates to Forrester.

KateSpot shares some cute photos of recent activities.

Parkway Rest Stop comes up with a funny rendition of what a Jersey Jeopardy episode might be like.

And finally, a little self-promotion. The New Wisdom doesn’t get updated nearly as much as I like, but it’s maintained by 8 New Jersey bloggers looking to make a small difference. All I managed to get up this week was a blurb about Dick Cheney under the microscope, but the forum is always open and we’d love, love, LOVE to have you over!

That’s all for this week!
Next week’s carnival will be hosted by KateSpot. Please send links to njcarnival at gmail dot com for posts you would like featured in the next Carnival.
