Something in Common

Governor Palin and I have something in common: She and I have both won second prize in a beauty contest!
It may have been a little tougher going for her!

This Could Get Ugly
Friday, August 8th, 2008
I was a bit surprised to read Georgia had moved troops into South Ossetia and Russia had in turn moved troops in and had started bombing Georgia (CNN, FoxNews, Johnson’s Russia List (via e-mail)).
It’s like Bizarro-Kosovo/Serbia.

The National Anthem

This was a fascinating way to get the day started at the Gathering of Mustangs and Legends.
Personally, I think the ground crew needed to catch it before it hit the ground. Otherwise, very cool!
Whittle Back
Saturday, June 7th, 2008
Bill Whittle’s been absent from his blog for awhile. It turns out he’s not only alive, he’s been writing a movie script!
Finally! Something that ought to be worth watching in the intellectual sense coming out of Hollywood! I hope this works!

Weltanschauung Friends in the News (II)

Weltanschauung friend Glenn made the Austin American-Statesman, check out the guy to Gov. Perry’s right (larger picture here)!

This one gets me every time: Tribute to the WWII generation.
The New York Enquirer
Tuesday, February 26th, 2008
This may be the only thing I’ve ever read or heard from Michael Kinsley that was worth repeating. This was hilarious!

An Illegal Immigration Analogy
Wednesday, February 13th, 2008
Let’s say there’s a street out there in Hypothetica. On that street is a relatively nice big house with a couple spare rooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a five-car garage. It’s a beachfront house with a yard that stretches from sea to shining sea. A nice family lives there, a husband, a wife, 2.05 children, [...]
