You can’t catch me where I’m gonna blog

You can’t catch me where I’ll watch

This world’s too cold, so I’m gonna run

I’m moving to the sun…

Cranky Professor: Lots of interesting stuff, mostly about technology and/or liberal arts education. Also, his comments on the “X kills! Wait, I mean, a mislabeled drug that isn’t Ecstasy at all kills! But X is still really really bad! We’ll tell you why as soon as we figure it out…” study. My personal beef against Ecstasy remains what it has always been: I already have a religion that says I gotta love everybody. Last thing I need is a drug that makes me like everybody.

Dappled Things: Nifty sermon on Jesus’ healing of the deaf-mute. (Hey, are a sermon and a homily the same thing?)

Kesher Talk: Vast trove of links relating to Leon Wieseltier’s Kaddish, his meditation on his father’s death.

Old Oligarch: In olden days we had the allegory of love. Now we have the allegory of Quake….

Relapsed Catholic will be on TV the 14th and the 21st. She’ll be dissecting same-sex marriage, the Ten Commandments monument mishegoss, Al-Jazeera, and Paul Hill.

Unqualified Offerings: Comic-book Jews! Fun, fun stuff, celebrating Arrival Day (the day the first Jews came to America). Here’s another article on the same topic, via Journalista!.

Basic, interesting intro piece about the nooks and crannies of the intelligence war. Profiles of Djibouti, Indonesia, and Mauritania. For those who didn’t see it at InstaPundit.

And: “Up on stage for the raunchy performance of Madonna’s ‘Like a Virgin’ was 6-year-old Lourdes Maria Ciccone Leon. Little Lourdes was dressed in First Communion white, decked out in lace gloves, a crucifix, and a studded belt with the words ‘BOY TOY.’ Paving the way for the entrance of Madonna and her entourage of sexual exhibitionists, Lourdes tossed flower petals on the dance floor while a mosh pit of fans writhed in front of her and the porno soundtrack throbbed behind her.” I’ll steal Mark Shea’s shtik: A country that despises virginity is a country that hates children. Madonna link via Relapsed Catholic, I think.
