Sorry, no round-up today.

I slept in – because MEG slept in. She didn’t wake up until nearly 0730, so I enjoyed the peace and quiet and now I’m paying for that – I didn’t get any of the morning stuff done, and I’m trying to get back on track.

I know, those of you who are working outside the home are thinking “Wish I could sleep in until 0730″ while those who do work at home and have your own schedule are nodding your heads and saying “Yup, I know how that goes…”

Well, since Blogrolling is still down, and I haven’t found a decent replacement, my blog rolls are pretty static right now anyway. Do me a favor, and click on the “All Blogrolls Here” tab up there and cruise through some of my favorites. I try to hit all of them on the top list at least once a day, but you nevr know what you’re gonna find…

Oddly enough, the sun came up again today, disproving several doom-sayers with their predictions of the election outcome.

In case you were wondering, here were my predictions (better late than never, eh?):

1.    The Bible will still have all the answers.
2.    Prayer will still work.
3.    The Holy Spirit will still move.
4.    God will still inhabit the praises of His people.
5.    There will still be God-anointed preaching.
6.    There will still be singing of praise to God.
7.    God will still pour out blessings upon His people.
8.    There will still be room at the Cross.
9.    Jesus will still love you.
10.   Jesus will still save the lost.

So, I think I’m in pretty good shape, overall. Let’s get to the Round Up, shall we?

Stop over at CPT Rob Yllescas and catch up on his condition. CPT Yllescas is the victim of an IED in Afghanistan and is currently stateside receiving the best care possible. Leave a note of encouragement for his wife, Dena.

This week, I’m going to see if I can group like subjects together. Since I haven’t surfed before I started writing these, there’s no telling where this will lead… and no, Blogrolling still isn’t working right.

Just Vote!
ablur has a hard question for you.

Don’t Vote For Obama:
American Apologist has a top-ten list.

Under the sub-category of “How To Lessen the Impact” comes this sage advice to business owners from Ol’ Broad.
Best reason ever, on Amazed In His Presence.
Be afraid – be very afraid! Sure wish ALL the candidates had the money for the media coverage that Obama is getting. Besides this piece on American and Proud, if you have Dish Network check out channel 73 (for the last month)!
Jenn joins the call for the tape to be released.
Wealth Redistribution explained … on Bloviating Zeppelin.
Political Pistachio explains why Obama’s plan of wealth redistribution won’t work.
The Tanker of Love has a video up from the guy that a lot of conservatives think should have kept running.
Under the sub-category of “Nothing New Under The Sun” comes this video courtesy of Pitchpull.
Amboy Times adds to the arsenal of “Nobama ’08!”
Showing that the MSM is, indeed, “in the tank” for Obama is this lovely piece from Third Wave Dave.
His pictures are worth more than a thousand words. mdconservative^® – from the Conservative Intelligence Report.
The ARRA News Service reports the arrest of some get-out-the-vote fraudsters.

Bush Derangement Syndrome (or, Hate Kills):
cookiecrumbexpress has news about a HuffPo “reporter” and what constant hate-mongering can do to a person.

Military Precision:
Blackfive has a gorgeous sunrise picture filled with … aw, why spoil the surprise?
Chief Roland always has great pics of the military, and he’s not even biased towards any one branch.
This Marine epitomizes the “tough get going” part of the saying. Thanks to Samantha for sharing.
I can always count on the Loon for some Positive News.
Kathi has the Wednesday Hero up – well worth the time to stop and read!

No, We Didn’t Make This Up:
Small Chest ban on Vietnamese roads? Check it out on Old Soldier.
New Guidelines for an Old Problem on Texas Fred’s.
Autorotate’s Flying Circus shares some of Mutha’s – uhm, Murtha’s latest.

It Couldn’t Happen To A Nicer Guy (no, not another Obama category):
Seems Charming, Just Charming‘s GuyK was awarded a Superior Scribbler and has passed it all on to his links.

Doesn’t Fit Anywhere Else:

218.5

MEG update: Her temperature has been under 101.5 since Tuesday afternoon. She is on a new (meaning different), stronger antibiotic that is knocking down her double ear infection. She needs lots of hugs and love, so we’re kinda busy in that department.

Blogrolling appears to still be on the fritz, so it may be slow going for the round up.

Gawfer is helping to spread the word about the extreme left’s attack on Congresswoman Michele Bachmann after her visit to MSNBC’s Hardball on Friday night produced some of the most twisted and out-of-context sound bites ever.

ACORN has issues – and they are showing up in Clark County, Nevada, according to an article on cookiecrumbexpress.

Cube has found what could possibly be the last honest Democrat. (link in article is slow – be patient – keep trying)

Cyber Pastor has a fine table posted, comparing the two main-party candidates for POTUS on his blog, Do The Right Thing.

The historic French footage of John McCain as POW in an interview is posted on Blackfive. If you have translation abilities, could you please help me work through the overdub? My hearing is weird, and while I can pick out occasional words from McCain and the interviewer, the louder overdub overwhelms my auditory input.

Gateway Pundit makes note of how quickly Palin rallies fill up in comparison with (and direct contrast to) the weeks of work required to get people to attend an Obama gathering. Plus, no opening act for Sarah…

Old Soldier has the Wednesday Hero posted. Look further down for another hero – one with more than one hundred medals.

Ol’ Broad is having computer issues. Many are helpful, some are entertained.

GuyK is having a slow start this morning. I love the older folk on computers. They are so darned entertaining.

Brother Johnny introduces the “Wizard of OZ” defense for the Obamanation on Amazed In His Presence.

Shhh – there’s a Goldfinch at the feeder… on Richard’s At The Water.

RattlerGator whets our appetite for upcoming specials and points out some nice tidbits.

Bushwack reminds us of what a REAL leader looks like and talks like on American and Proud.

The Chief has a picture of Obamarx. Also a reminder: 25 years ago today, the Marine Barracks at Beirut was attacked. 241 Americans were killed that day. (side note – part two of “Lessons From Beirut” tomorrow morning, 0700 MST, at The O Word)

Alaska Steve passes on word about the Katmai, and shares his hike to Ugadaga Bay on A Sense of Place.

Talk about something that should be shared with the whole country – The Bull has that in spades.

Some humor from the Grumpy Old Attitudinal Texan, Fred. (heh heh!)

There is talk of a “righteous wind” over in the Jungle.

Bloviating Zeppelin points out that even if Obama would meet with certain countries without preconditions, those countries have preconditions for US.

Mary’s World recently cleared the 8700 mark with readers. For a small blogger, that a lot. Congratulations, Mary. Keep up the good work!

There’s talk of a party over at Andrew’s Place.

A funny thing happened to some global warming activists on their bike ride… see the details on Pitchpull.

Nice video on Autorotate’s Flying Circus with John Mutha – I mean, Murtha – dodging questions about Haditha accusations.

Visit Amboy Times and get a taste of the Enigma Called Barack.

Samantha has a series about Beirut. Thank you, Samantha – I knew I could count on you to remember.

And you, too, Loon.

And mdconservative on the Conservative Intelligence Report. Ooh rah, Semper Fi.

Kathi has Wednesday’s Hero, also, on Mail Call! Supporting The Troops.

That’s it for now – MEG’s waking up, and she needs her Daddy.
