I’ve compiled a list of blogposts and news items for your perusal:
- ST reader Dana R. Pico [1] writes about political correctness in crime reporting. He’ll probably take a lot of flack from the usual suspects from that post, which tells you that it’s definitely worth reading.
- CBS’ editorial director Dick Meyer [2] has written an article asserting that the President is now a ‘lame duck’ President and discusses the possible ramifications Republicans could face as a result.
- I’m a little late linking up to this: Bruce Kesler writes about “conservative battle fatigue [3]” – are you feeling it? Mark Tapscott [4] weighs in with some related thoughts and observations.
- Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT) says two judges on the FISA court have been in the loop [5] on the NSA’s datamining program [6] (reported by the USA Today [7] with the obvious implication that this was scandalous) since 2001. Verizon and Bellsouth [8] have denied turning over any phone data to the NSA. Hmmm …
- The NYT reports [9] that Democrats will soon be ‘reaching out’ to disgruntled Christian Republicans with radio ads. I think this will be a classic example of Howard Dean wasting more DNC money [10]. Not that I care 😉
- Captain Ed [11] has a must-read post on two instances of primary victories for fiscal conservatives in Pennsylvania. Bravo!
- Paris now has a street named [12] in honor of convicted cop killer Mumia Abu Jamal. Sick.
- Actor Bill Cosby recently spoke at the University of the District of Columbia on personal responsibility and the black community. Read about it at Right Voices [13].
- Added at 9:51 pm: ST reader Karl is celebrating his third blogiversary [14]. Congrats, Karl! Speaking of blogiversaries, Check out Jim at bRight and Early’s [15] nifty blogiversary coding which allows you to keep a blogiversary database on your blog so you’ll know when others are celebrating theirs 🙂
Enjoy! And please utilize this as today’s open thread.
