Just Some Links

1.  Oregon man says he is pregnant. I thought this was some big scientific breakthrough (or more probably a National Enquirer story) until I found out it was just a woman who had chest reconstruction and grew a beard.

2.  Nancy Reagan is endorsing McCain. Good news for McCain which can only help his image with the Republican base. What with Obama and Hillary making fools of themselves, McCain is looking better and better.

3.  Yeah, that’s what he says in public, but in private you just know da Pope and the Cardinals were exchanging high-fives and doing the baby-circle dance. Take that Mohammad.

4.  And take that global warming.

5.  If you do nothing else today, check out this video and have a good cry. Or at least tear-up like me.

6.  And this woman differs from every woman on Earth in exactly what way?

7. Long story short - the Vets for Freedom were giving a presentation to some high school kids in Minnesota.  The anti-American, anti-military members morons of the Democratic Underground and some equally suspect parents scared the wimpy principal into cancelling the presentation, so the local community showed up in force to welcome the Vets along with some good kids who skipped school to see them. Good on the community and the kids who skipped school. Shame on the DU, the complaining parents and the school officials who cowed down to this pressure.

8. ***A Late Addition*** Getting Beyond Racism. A wonderful post - check it out.

An Experiment

A blogger decides to post a picture of an American Flag and the lyrics to God Bless America on a somewhat left-leaning blog to see what would happen in the comments.

The results, I am afraid to say, are both sad and predictable.

UPDATE:

I should have noted this experiment was carried-out on a blog presenting Catholic perspectives on culture, society and politics.  Something that brings an interesting angle to the whole deal I believe, my being Catholic and all.
