I am a blogger and I don’t care,

I like to make people stare!…

Joe De Feo: Blogger britcom wig-out.

E-Pression: Zorak seeks “defenses for U.S. support for Israel. E-mail them to me and I’ll link them (with helpful glosses, natch).”

OxBlog: Moving story from Kenya; is Africa becoming freer but poorer?

The Poor Man: A really funny parody of The Corner. Link via Electrolite via Unqualified Offerings… I think.

Unqualified Offerings: David Broder gets spidey-smacked; if you don’t trust the FBI, why do you trust HHS? I need to add my own rant to the Broder-bashing, because this passage promotes an idea that seriously gets (and annoys) my goat: David Broder writes, “In 1962, when the first Spider-Man comic appeared, the notion of making his alter ego a New York City kid was unobjectionable. We were an innocent country then, not yet familiar with assassinations, urban riots and terrorist attacks.” I HATE this cliche. I hate how America didn’t lose its innocence with slavery–or the removal of the Cherokee–or the Civil War–or the World Wars–or Hiroshima and Nagasaki–but a pretty president pulls a Lincoln and suddenly America’s lost her virginity? What kind of blinkered, privileged, everything-everyone-hates-about-the-Boomers perspective is this? C’mon.

Matt Welch: More on Afghan civilian casualties. Comments also worth reading.

There’s a lot of good stuff here–a blog by a Catholic canon lawyer. Lots of stuff about annulments; the effect of premarital sex on marriages; liturgy; and other canony stuff. And here’s Yet Another Overeducated Catholic Blog–but in a good way… All But Dissertation.
