Hey! It’s been a while since I put one of these out.

First, the addition of the “Bloggers Against an Obama Nation” blogroll – get on it while it’s hot!

Now, the rundown:
Old Soldier reports on the return of a hero, further down he let us know that his daughter has earned her Girl Scout Gold Award (that’s like the Boy Scouts’ Eagle level).

Richard spotted his 28th new bird – an egret! Quite a beautiful sight, too.

Over on Write on the Right Gunny John takes us along on a tour of historical spots on Okinawa.

The Loon takes a look back at this day in Naval History. Go Navy!

Texas Fred has the front line on the best write-in candidates – I was going to tell you, but why ruin the surprise?

The Political Pistachio has some keen observations on the economy – and I would listen to him, if I were you!

John over on Fire of Liberty points out the problem with the current crop of candidates – none of them read the conservative columnists – they probably don’t want to be infected with common sense, I say – and the solution to rising gas prices is increased domestic production.

Scott Welch discusses the difficulty of church planting on Our Sovereign Joy.

BZ discourses on the music industry and Bill Gates on Bloviating Zeppelin.

Bushwack on American and Proud asks about the veracity of a list of facts concerning Maricopa County’s Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

Over in The Political Jungle Jenn discusses the May Day Amnesty and Protest Marches by Illegal Invaders. OK, her title is shorter than that.

Akinoluna has an update on her career move. Semper Fi!

Dave has a post about Hillary’s appearance on Bill O’Reilly’s segment on Fox news on Third Wave Dave. Pay particular attention to Dave’s mention of Conan’s line…

Kathi highlights this week’s Wednesday Hero on Mail Call!

Scotwise has Thursday’s Daily Encouragement up for all to see.

A strong subject is broached on Carried by Christ by Doug.

Thump Thump!

Sugar Cat is loving life on her blog.

Ablur has a point about combining loan centers and gas stations on Some Things Just Need to be Said.

Gawfer has a post up about immigrants doing it the right way, and earning a shortcut in the naturalization process.

Last, but certainly not least, GuyK is in rare form this morning. Be sure to read through all his posts at Charming, Just Charming.

Thank you for stopping by, God bless you all, listen to The O Word on BlogTalkRadio, Wear Red on Fridays, and support Warriors for Innocence!

Come join me on ‘The O Word’ on BlogTalkRadio.

Wearing my Rolling Thunder, might change to Lightning Sharp later…

Thank you for stopping by, God bless you all, Wear Red on Fridays, and support Warriors for Innocence!

I will be hoping and praying that last week’s gremlins don’t decide to revisit.

I’ve been to the BTR site, and everything SEEMS to be working, we’ll see tomorrow morning at 0700 Arizona time (Mountain Standard, no DST).

(that means we’re the same as you Pacific Daylight Time people right now)

Today I am seeing red. (besides wearing it!)

If you listened to the show, you know why. If not, check back here later when I have the time to complete the post.

All I can say is – with the right of Freedom of Expression comes the Responsibility of What You Say.

For now, check this at Gawfer’s Blog. And this Texas Fred’s. And this, also at Texas Fred’s. For another entry, see here at American Thinker (Thanks, Loon!). Loon has a word here.

UPDATE:

OK, I have time now. I’ve also spoken with several friends. And I have cooled off a bit and evened my keel.

Dear Time Magazine:
First, let me reassure you that I fully support your right to free speech, and I will defend to the death your right to make a complete and total ass out of yourself. Looks like you’ve accomplished that with your planned cover for the April 21, 2008 issue.

For shame, Time. You, of all institutes, should have realized that you were messing with something much more important than life and death. You have taken on the collective memories and history of the United States Marine Corps in general, World War II veterans specifically, and Ira Hayes, Mike Stranko, Franklin Sousley, Rene Gagnon, Harlon Block, and John Bradley exactly.

What would induce you to think that the American public (other than left leaning, liberal, global warming-panic-stewards) would see this as an acceptable use of this icon? “Global warming” is an unproven MYTH of enormous proportions inflated to emergency status by the myopic and stunted memory of people who forget that weather cycles are just that – CYCLES – and everything will balance out in the end. Using the photograph of the flag-raising on Mt. Surabachi to further the falsified claims that we, as mere humans, can affect something on a global scale is pure hogwash.

If I were a subscriber, I would cancel my subscription. Since I’m not, I will be boycotting your company and everything you touch. Even if you withdraw this cover and apologize, I will make sure not to give you another red cent of my hard earned dollars for the crap you have tried to foist on the people of the world.

Sincerely,

Cary B. Cartter

Wearing my Patriot today. Are YOU wearing red?

Third show is complete, and, if I do say so myself, it went pretty well. Listen to it and rate it here!
