The blogosphere is a bit quiet this weekend, presumably due to the upcoming 4th of July holiday. I know several people who have bailed out of town for the next few days, and are already enjoying their time off and preparing to celebrate our Independence Day. My long weekend starts after the 4th, as I’ll be taking off work Weds, Thurs, and Fri. I’m not going out of town, just taking a breather from the 8-5.
Wanted to pass along couple of book recommendations to you:
—
The official launch of Wide Awakes Radio is July 4th. What is W.A.R.? Find out here. Hint: if you like conservative bloggers, you’ll love it
Check out their schedule here. Exciting stuff!

Ever hear of Inflammatory Breast Cancer? No? Me neither, until I watched this video. I received this from a friend of mine who is a breast cancer survivor and wanted to pass it along. A surprising number of women (including three of four leading breast cancer research-promoting groups) had not heard of it. If you’re like me, and had never heard of it, please watch the short video so you can know what it is and visit your doctor if you think you may have it.

I’ve added a PayPal donation button as well as a link to my Amazon.com tip jar on the left hand side of this page, under the BlogAds section. I’ve blogged for nearly three years without a tip jar, but bit the bullet this weekend and decided to put them on the site. Any contributions will be much appreciated. The buttons will be there permanently. By *no means* should anyone feel obligated – I know support comes in many forms, and sincerely appreciate them all. But having a little extra change helps pay for the cost of running and maintaining the site. By the same token, if you or someone you know would like to advertise on this site, click here.

I will be guest blogging tomorrow at Right Wing News along with a fine cast of conservative bloggers I’m honored to be blogging with. I’ll note here when I have a new post up there. BTW, if you haven’t already bookmarked RWN, why not do so now? It’s a great blog written by a proud, very articulate fellow North Carolinia conservative.

If you’re preparing to go out of town for the next few days to celebrate the holiday, please drive safe and have fun, and remember the reason for this holiday

Jawa is under DDoS attack again.
I invited a couple of my Brit buds over to celebrate the fourth. Formal attire is anything red. We’ll be consuming the razor clams and flat iron steaks I sort of s m u g g l e d in. A beer or two is likely to meet his maker as well. Literally. They make beer and I dig clams. Literally.
Take care y’all and we’ll see ya on monday. Hang on! It’s already monday. It’s a sekrut so don’t tell the NYT, that and the world is round.
……….and life is good on the blue marble, today……..
Thanks for the linky love dearheart.
Yeah, I thought it was quiet, too. In fact, before the NYT’s pulled their little stunt earlier, I thought it was pretty slow and quiet then, too.
I can’t speak for anyone else, but on Saturdays I cut back on posting to spend time with the kids and do stuff around the house. Sunday I rarely post anything at all….my day to kick back and relax. =D
I haven’t made up my mind yet whether or not to blog on Monday & Tuesday. Yeah, it’s a holiday and all that, but I’m going to be home anyway, so why not? Not like I have a life or anything!
AQ BL NYT what is the difference? They try without any success to spoil 4 July.
A little history:link
“Russian policy in North Korea was aimed at creating an indigenous government which would be a replica of the Russian political system and subservient to the Soviet Union. The ready-made strong Communist organization in North Korea as well as the area’s nearness to Manchuria and USSR territory made the job easy for the Russians. They brought back to Korea thousands of Korean expatriates who had lived, studied, and become completely communized in the USSR. A few had held government or party posts in Moscow.
On 3 October 1945 the Russians introduced into their new nation one of these Koreans, born Kim Sung Chu but traveling under the alias of Kim Il Sung. The Russians hailed him as the leading exponent of Korean nationalism. The original Kim Il Sung had been a famous leader of Korean resistance against the Japanese. The Russian-sponsored interloper had served as a captain in the Russian Army. After going to Manchuria in 1930, he became a small-time bandit leader, and finally disappeared into the USSR in 1941 or 1942. Backed by the Russians, Kim Il Sung assumed control of the Korean Communist party in late October 1945. At the same time other Russian-trained Koreans took over key posts in the North Korean regime. This seizure of power by the Korean Communist party in North Korea was carried out boldly with complete Russian backing.”
Now we have Kim son with various backers.
Did you just receive $15 from Amazon? I can’t tell if I did it right, and don’t want to risk sending an additional $15
Just checked and it’s in the middle of processing, per Amazon. Thank you so much! I’m new to this, so I don’t know if Amazon sends a confirmation email to me once things are processed or if I have to check it daily. All the same, thanks
Dearheart I have been thinking about this tip jar thing. I think you should offer something like a calander with suggestive, but not nude, photographs of yourself. I will take 4 dozen please, and remember MAY is my Birthday Month.
Loves ya, always – Lorica
