I'm going to use this post simply to push forth some blog posts that I've found entertaining over the last few days. First off,
Scatbug:Why does Left hate Bush? Because he has shattered their world view.
They believe that the “sole force of their intelligence” is what guides
humanity; that the imposition of their vision (“man’s mind displacing
God’s”) benefits “the people”. And if you disagree with what’s good for
“the people”? To paraphrase Chambers (in his Atlas Shrugged
review): the gas chambers waiting for you. Bush has demonstrated (or is
at least fighting to demonstrate) that freedom is not imposed. He
follows in the truly liberal tradition that the endowment of life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness is a distinct part of human nature
and that it can only be denied, never granted, by one person to
another. Let's bring Chambers back into this:
Freedom is a
need of the soul and nothing else. It is in striving toward God that
the soul strives continually after a condition of freedom. God alone is
the inciter and guarantor of freedom...Without freedom the soul dies.
Without the soul there is no justification for freedom.
To
a Leftist this statement is like dawn to Dracula. The only way to avoid
its piercing truth is to close the coffin lid, or turn into a bat,
or…hmmm…I think it’s time to find my digital whoopee cushion and stop
waxing.
And second, Mary Katherine Ham
points out again how weird bloggers are:
Also, overheard in an airport bar:
Guy: So, this Foley thing is crazy.
Girl: Foley?
Guy: Yeah, the guy with the pages.
Girl: Oh yeah, he stepped down, right?
Guy: Yeah, I think so. Not sure.
Sometimes I forget how weird I am.

Also, I've rewatched the Lost Season 3 premeire on ABC's website. I've seen nearly every single episode and I still don't know what the heck is going on. Are there any other fans reading?
