Quick Links

No time to make this yesterday's letter of the day, but enough time to get 'em out here quick before making the morning commute to work

1) Alpha Patriot tells a tale of two immigrants.

2) Serenity of Serenity's Journal defines conservativism. It's very nicely done.

3) Wizbang: tch tch tch tch tch tch tch-ching!

4) Swirlspice shows us the mullet! Uh, yeah, I DO remember that joke we played on...

5) Mooooove away, said the cow. It seems as if this behavior is not limited to kangaroos any long.

6) Thanks to Boots and Sabres for the blogroll addition. I'll probably continue to sneak in via my RSS thingee, but I'll get you added soon (probably during the week next week).

7) CommonSense & Wonder discusses "Frankenfoods." This appears to be the same article I mentioned this weekend.

Here's Arthur Silbur on brains, weight, and food.

9) This is the "I laughed out loud" post for the morning - Thanks, PhysicsGeek. 10) I'm very late with this, but Jennifer interviewed Daniel, and here are the results.

11) Harvey links the same interview (Daniel's), but he has an interesting little thought at the end. I've been scratching my head all morning but while laughing.

Traffic Patterns

So, y'know, I forgot to submit to the Carnival of the Vanities this week.

And, of course, the fun with this is that I'm getting more traffic from this Carnival than from any ever before. Why? Here's why.

Everyone's like, uh, who's that? I'm sure. Thanks again for the link, James.

What He Said

Brian has a post about box cutters. With pics.

I have only a little to add. I carry a purse. I'm a woman, so that's not going to attract much attention. Do not doubt that at any time and not by design but merely function that I have many, many small weapons contained therein.

Pens, pencils, paperclips, keys. Multiple of these items. No nail file anymore, though, of course. One could put an eye out with that.

Link. Link.

So, it's getting close to bedtime, and I've not blogged a thing here today. I wrote the mustard post yesterday. I did put something up at The Alliance but that hardly counts.

So I'll link.

Matt at Blackfive posts a chilling anecdote about a social event with some Pakistani friends, now known as less-than-friends.

Look Left for the League of Liberals

Trey Givens provides me with another Enclave logo



Michael Williams (I have to be careful to link the proper Michael. It is indeed Williams this time) offers thorough analysis of the box cutter/airplane situation and why the items were not found for so long.

Carnival of the Captialists is here. That's tomorrow's reading that'll keep me from blogging.

Wizbang posts a pic of the woman who stole my Halloween costume. 'Cept she has no talons. Meow.

This is a couple of days old, but I said I'd link it, and so here it is. Robert Prather waxes economic, as he does so well, that Percentiles Are Not People.

Fritz enriches our "vocabulary" with a new buzzword. Hans, I don't want to hear this one. Ever.

I don't remember where I saw this. It was Friday. And when I went there, I couldn't leave. It was so riveting...in a disgusting sort of way.

That's enough. Yawn. 5 a.m. comes early.

New Blog Showcase

Yes, another week has passed. Yes, this has to go on both blogs in order to be counted.

So.

1) This post from She Who Must Be Obeyed is wonderful. Beth's style reminds me of Big Arm Woman.

2) Vox Popoli appealed to my geek sense.

Quite a few good ones this week; getting harder to pick.

Gotta Link That

The post ends with

In the words of John Galt, (no, not those words) "Get the hell out of my way."

My cat speaks.

But, no, seriously, if you haven't already, check out Trey Givens. The man cracks me up (and writes well...one IS the prerequisite of the other, of course).

The above-mentioned post smacks Wired magazine right out of his subscription list. Buh-bye.

I Think I'll Play Letter of the Day

Because I have a bunch of linkage to do, here's the letter of the day, Heather style. Today's letter is H, so that's fitting.

Aitch.

Do you believe in hell, higher powers, heaven?

Hell again. As a destination.

Harrassment...or hardly?

Hapless Hyperbole

Harvey!

Headline I missed.

Visit Harvey of Bad Money

Why is today the day to visit Bad Money? Any day's a good day, really. Harvey posts a lot, usually five or six good-sized snippets a day - often more - to keep one interested.

And then there's the currency graffiti. He also links to Blackfive a lot - always a good idea, exalts his wife on a daily basis (ALWAYS a REALLY good idea), and has recently been blogrolled by the Great Emperor Misha, who has not yet noticed MY grace, wit, and not-so-surreptitious stops and comments.

But this post is about Harvey! It's about to get quite cold in Wisconsin; perhaps that'll mean he'll post even more!

Frank J's "In My World"

These are hits or misses with me. This one's a hit.

The screen then showed O'Yama, eyes glowing red with evil, giving a speech before a crowd of reporters. "When I am president, the oceans will boil, the cities will be destroyed in fire, and there will be universal health care!"

Quick Links (Otherwise Known as Massive Backlog)

In 15 minutes, how many links can I make? We'll see.

Wizbang links to a blogger who translates Baby Got Back into the romance languages and beyond.

Kelley of Suburban Blight has a new Cul-de-sac.

I missed entry for the Carnival of the Capitalists. I don't suspect I'll miss it again.

Aaron of Free Will drop-kicks the logic of the Democratic Underground. And, oh, so eloquent is he.

The Agitator tells a tale of To Kill a Mockingbird and politcal correctness.

Eugene Volokh cashes in on the strange mess that is Missouri's Conceal and Carry law (at least, I thought it was a law).

Robert Prather provides an excellent view of the EU's economic failings.

Pregnant cows killed by lightning (okay, it's early, and _I_ found it interesting).

Oh, and my spouse called me a sex symbol. I think perhaps he's a bit biased.

Good morning.

Six Months!

10/12/2003 is my six-month blogiversary, one week after Brian began.

And, a couple of weeks ago, I moved to this "shiny new site," as someone put it. I've spent a bunch of time tonight putting together a list of my early posts that it's likely that no one's seen. Also, visit my About Me page; I've put my 100 things up (finally). Thanks for reading!

The list:

1. Extremely Disjointed First Post
2. Turkey Vanquished
3. Softball
4. Pineapples for Peace
5. Shut Your Seed-Cracking Beak
6. "Are McLawsuits Legit?"
7. The Search for the Sympathy Card
8. Botox! Botulinum Toxin Type A (baby)
9. Oh, THAT Appointment

Yes, Venemous Kate's one-upped herself. I find this far more fun and await SNAFU day.

Links of Links

Venemous Kate's been busy again, this time giving the letter "L" some love. (I was mildly disappointed there was no "lascivious" link. Perhaps next time)

The Bonfire has burned its way onto Wizbang's site. The Noggle clan is well represented.

And, for more Vanity reading, visit this week's Carnival at Dancing with Dogs.

Also, I notice that Jennifer Larson and Blackfive have been doing some serious linking of late as well.

Lunch Links

Not much time left - spent most of lunch researching what I'm going to write about tonight, but, a few things deserve quick mention.

Yesterday's Letter of the Day was V. What will it be today?

Groping! (brought to you by On the Fritz)

Fired and gun in the same story. Not related.

Government by team.

Soon to be called Governors (idea from Brian).

Frank J. notices my move (and grumbles about my incessant e-mails asking to update my links).

And, back to work...

New Blogger Showcase

Two new blogs of note this week.

1) I liked Eliminate the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, but I have a small complaint to the blogger. Tom - use spell check. You write well; you probably know you don't spell perfectly. Appease the readers; cut down on eyesores.

2) Also, I liked Trey's 111 things. I'm having trouble finding my 100 without going radically personal - I think there's a fine balance there, really.

List o' Links

I'm trying to keep up. Here's the best of what I sampled today.

1) This morning, Dean Esmay posted about Domestic Terrorism. He said this:

I was not too worried about that because such people are usually so stupid and drug-addled that they aren't good for much of anything. Besides which, I said, I'm not sure there's been a single decade in American history that hasn't had incidents of domestic terrorism.

Then I came up short. Yes, we've definitely had many domestic terrorists in my lifetime. In the last 40 years, we've had the Symbianese Liberation Army, the Manson Family, the Weather Underground, the Black Panthers under Huey Newton, Ted Kaczynski, abortion clinic bombers, the Oklahoma City bombers, and the Earth Liberation Front, and I'm sure I've forgotten some. Just in the period from 1967 to 1973 there were something like a thousand terrorist bombings in the United States--funny how many people don't remember that.

(And much more).

2) Interested-Participant has the PETA Post!. I haven't done one in a while. Perhaps tomorrow.

3) Michael Williams: Would you rather...

1. ...have super strength, or super speed. STRENGTH - easy.
2. ...be able to read minds, or be the greatest orator to have ever lived. I have to answer this one as I don't want to read minds - the world would become a very ugly place. So I take the orator.
3. ...be a vampire or a werewolf. Vampire. I don't think the hirsute look is very feminine.
4. ...give up the Internet, or give up solid foods. Internet - bye bye. I eat about 80% by texture, and so I'd vanish to almost nothing on liquids. No thanks.

Very thought provoking (his questions, not my answers.

4) More from Overlawyered. Injured Student Sues Goal Post Maker. People. This is the reason we have fine-print blurbs on commercials that state things like "Do not paint your face with house paint."

5) I saw this yesterday and forgot to link it. Long live Scrappleface. CNN Produces Positive Reports On Iraq.

6) Yikes, a bike accident... in Japan.

That wraps it up for now.
