New Kids on the (Blog) Block
There are a couple of new players in the South Dakota BlogOSphere.
First, there’s the Dakota Dog Pound, written by a “30 year old conservative profesional” from Pierre. So far, I can’t say there’s to much I disagree with what he’s written. So, either I’m not as liberal as I thought or he’s not as conservative.
Second, BlogNetNews.com/South_Dakota has bowed. If you liked the old SD 123 aggregatpr (which I did and was a great referral source), you’ll like this blog. It also allows you to rate and share blog entries from many of the state’s blogs, including this fine publication.
DDP and BNNSD, welcome to the fray! Both have been added to My Mother of All South Dakota Blogs Aggregator (sans Sibby) at right.

Oh, Todd, you might feel like retracting that welcome to BNN (Mr. Mastio e-mailed us all, I'm thinking) when you see his influence index ranks the Madville Times above SD Watch! Now that's some screwy math.
Cory:
Hey, if he has a algorithm that ranks your blog's influence ahead of mine, I can live with that. As long as he send readers my way and he provides a handy way to look at blog posts, more power to him.
Todd
Coralhei,
The influence index comes out weekly based on a single week's data, so it is often the case that the index for a week is different than if bloggers were to sit down and ask consider which blogs were most influential in the last election or over the last year.

SET against the London bombings of 2005, the film is a sensitive, high voltage diatribe against both terrorism as well as racial profiling. Of course, the film transcends the predictability of its by now familiar theme due to some powerful performances by Naseeruddin, Om Puri and Greta Scacchi. A word of warning here: Please watch the English version of the film, since the Hindi version has dubbed voices for both Naseer and Om Puri. Completely unwarranted!
Tariq Ali (Naseeruddin), a top cop in the London police department is pulled out of anonymity, when a shootout in the metro goes awry. The cops have gunned down an innocent Muslim and need some desperate white-washing.
Hence, the newfound importance of Tariq, the senior Muslim cop who must handle the media and head the investigation regarding the shootout. For Tariq, this is a chance of a lifetime, as he begins to eye a promotion. But life isn’t easy in a post 9/11 scenario; neither for the Muslim cop nor for the people around him. Specially since they are battling with the truth that says: all Muslims may not be terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims.
Watch Naseer combat the cliches, the in-house jihadis, the in-built biases, the fundamentalist fellow Muslims and sigh at the changing equations of the melting pot that was once London, New York, Asia, India…
