Thursday Round-Up

July 24th, 2008 . by Cary

StartLogic (which is crap for service, don’t get a website hosted there. ever.) is acting up today. I may or may not be able to do a full round-up. If need be, I will get this up somewhere. I may take up a friend’s offer of space on his new server. Meanwhile, a bit of a theme today:

Bloviating Zeppelin has some really good editorial cartoons up. The top one says it all, I think. Good ol’ Inexperienced Illinois Senator.

Blackfive is always a good read, and there is always something fresh posted there. Just put in on your must-read list, already. Also a big fan of the IIS.

Over at Charming, Just Charming GuyK points to a “Dorwin Award” – may not be what you think, unless you are a big fan of Asimov. IIS alert.

cookiecrumbexpress tells about their outing to the Tick Farm. Nice comparison shots of the 45 and the 9mm. Very nice Mauser action, too. Nothing here about IIS, however.

I’m in agreement with Regular Ron – I don’t like flying, either. Hmm, nothing here about IIS, either.

Greybeard reports on the Building of a Religion over at Pitchpull. Good – back to IIS.

Amboy Times has a message that is not favorable towards a certain IIS.

Didn’t have to go too far in to find the first IIS moment on the BLOG.

Mary is into books and their reviews. She has a terrific selection up in her latest post.

Akinoluna has pictures from her time on Okinawa, and there was a door decorating contest. Honestly, I mis-read the word in her title, and almost tacked on another IIS tag to her entry here. But, since it says “barracks” and not “barack’s” I will resist.

Richard found a turkey vulture, and he didn’t go anywhere near D.C.

Texas Fred has an article posted about drunks who hit cops. Nothing here about IIS either, but give it time.

Political Pistachio has a neat little post about the population of the earth and theories about how long humans have been around. His second post is about – you guessed it! – the IIS.

Ablur would like your input on how the internet has affected the storytelling tradition of humans on Some Things Just Need To Be Said. His second post is also about the IIS.

Put on your boxing gloves – Jenn has entries up about the IIS!!

Bushwack‘s first entry is about the oil reserves under the Alaskan area. The second one is about the IIS. I know, you are very surprised, as was I.

Andrew Tallman gives us his thought of the day.

Third Wave Dave has a post up about a freedom survey. Guess where the IIS’s hometown came in?

Old Soldier has a video about a beer-bottle symphony. And a second article about the IIS.

Brother Helms has a thought on “bumper sticker evangelism” over on Our Sovereign Joy.

Gawfer has a graphic (available on a tee-shirt) regarding the Second Amendment. His second post is about – guess who? – the IIS!

Kathi has birthday wishes for some special people posted on Supporting the Troops.

That’s all I’ve got for now. Be sure to tune in tomorrow at 0700 MST for The O Word on BlogTalkRadio.

Thank you for stopping by, In GOD We Trust, God bless you all, Time, Inc. is a bunch of weasels, listen to The O Word on BlogTalkRadio, Wear Red on Fridays, and support Warriors for Innocence!

Thursday Round Up

July 17th, 2008 . by Cary

WordPress wants me to update to version 2.6. Anyone out there done the update yet? Anything I should look out for?

Kathi and Tony went to Arlington for the first time, and they have a slide show up and running of the pictures that Tony took. Well worth the look-see. Kathi also gives a shout out for the Run for the Fallen, going on now.

Brother Johnny T. Helms expounds on the Archbishop of Canterbury’s insistence that islam be included in an interfaith council on religious tolerance with a link to an article explaining the exact opposite should happen on Our Sovereign Joy.

Akinoluna has an observation about death and leave in the Marine Corps.

Richard’s latest entry is on a mother and juvenile Red-bellied Woodpecker. Beautiful photography. Did I mention that Richard is responsible for some of the header photos on this blog?

GuyK is his usual, Charming self today – slow start, but then he gets up a head of steam…

Over on Blackfive is photographic proof of troops purposely mimicking the locals in Iraq. Scandalous, I say!

Samantha (aka Hana Matsushita) continues her love letter to/about/for the 24th MEU in Afghanistan.

The Rogue has a few straight-talking words about Jamie Gorelick. (Don’t know the name? Do a little digging, and find out why Rogue believes she ought to be sitting in the cell next to the Enron folks…) Also check out his essay on Naval ships named after Commanders in Chief

Texas Fred is his usual fun-loving, rose-colored glasses self today. His entry on raising award-winning pansies is excellent. (just kidding, Fred – don’t change a thing!)

A new addition to my blogroll, Andrew Tallman, is a local radio show host. His show is on 1360 KPXQ in Phoenix, Arizona from 5 to 7 pm daily.

Over on The Old Right Daily is Regular Ron’s viewpoint on the World Court’s declaration that the US should delay the execution of five Mexican nationals held in a Texas Jail. Good reading.

The cookie crumb express has information and a link regarding this year’s Milblogging Conference in Las Vegas.

Oddly enough, over on Take a Stand Against Liberals, Jenn points out the hypocrisy and goofiness of the left. Go figure.

SoCalOilMan’s company is being purchased. Will he have a job? Will he be moving soon? If he moves, will he tell his wife, who is in Montana for three months? Stay tuned…

Today we have BZ’s take on the economy. Be sure to scroll down and check out some pictures he found through his exhaustive research…

Gawfer has a few points on this season’s campaign.

Doug has news about the talks in Israel over on Political Pistachio.

Old Soldier’s latest entry is all wet.

Ablur points to an article that shows that all this cleaning up of the pollution and being green has actually lead to a warming trend… on Some Things Just Need To Be Said.

Third Wave Dave has a video posted that answers the question “How did we get to this point?” Good commentary by Judge Napolitano on how the government is breaking it’s own laws with the “not a bailout” of Fannie and Freddie.

Improv Everywhere pulled off a mirror stunt. Only in New York.

I couldn’t access American and Proud of It – I hope that’s not because of WordPress 2.6!

Greybeard has some “recycling” news on Pitchpull.

Amboy Times has news from the Philippines in regards to how appeasement is working out for them. Don’t forget to scroll down a bit so you can be pointed to Blogrolling. I do apologize if you didn’t get mentioned.

A quick side note – my bass guitar developed a nasty little buzz last night, just before service. I need to figure out what went wrong before I can use it again. Meantime, I used the church’s bass. I wasn’t entirely unfamiliar with it, as I started out on that one, but still…
