Random African Bush Stories



Sometimes one has to see past the countless bloggers trying to make a quick Internet buck off what is passed off as a blog to see the jewels that lie among the vast social network terrain.

Smashed Frog ventured across such a blog this past week. For your reading pleasure, allow me to pass along this African treasure.

Random African Bush Stories
is not even remotely connected to George W. Bush. And that's a good thing.

But remote is definitely a keyword.

The author describes himself as "an avid naturalist, in the sense that I am enthusiastic about many aspects of nature." This Frantic Naturalist is the ultimate guide who runs the Namibian Tour company.

And apparently, "a good African Bush tale told late into the night"..."it's the bricks that good guiding is made of."

Instead us throwing political bricks this weekend, let's take a break and live a bit of African adventure via a fellow blogger and naturalist that's proved his bricks.

"...generations of the American people have surged through the Preamble's portal and widened its gate. Like constitutions, amendments are not just words, but deeds--flesh and blood struggles to redeem America's promise while making amends for some of the sins of our fathers."

Political Endurance Blogs

"The political blogs that may be the “best” of all, the most controversial, homespun, animated, original, creative and downright emotional spill from the 365-day-a-year bloggers. In this subdivision live blogs where big doses of commonsense social commentary are laced with searing political rants. Many are punctuated with posts on personal daily anecdotes, tragic and celebratory, virally propagated YouTube videos, and other miscellaneous content like a favorite recipe, baby and pet photos, and the general political-social sandwich which is daily life—take United States of Motherhood, for example. Blog traffic matters less here, up, down, or all around, many sites are enviable simply for their endurance and “balls-to-the-walls” earnestness: who cares who stops by, I’m speaking my mind regardless. If you’re ever in this neighborhood trip out on one of these popular and creative reads: Little Green Footballs, Smashed Frog and Betsy’s Page."
