What my blog roll is saying
I don’t have the time today to do a big scan of all the blogs on by blog roll — a list I take very seriously — but I did get to visit some, and I thought you’d find their posts interesting. In no particular order, I’ll just list the titles and, if the title is insufficiently descriptive, a brief description:
White House Admits it Hired Firm to Spam Americans on Health Care
Cash for Clunkers a Complete Failure; Has Distributed Only $145 Million out of $1.9 Billion
Global warming skeptic Freeman Dyson speaks out
Obama: Gimmee That Ol’ Time Religion, Plus Details of Obama’s Call With Jewish Proxies — expressing Robert Avrech’s belief that Obama overreached by putting on God’s mantel.
The New Public Plan – Health Co-ops? — in which John Stossel and Michael Leavitt explain that co-ops are Trojan Horses for single payer health care.
Meet Rahm Emanuel’s Brother: Dr. Zeke the Bleak — in which we learn that Dr. Zeke is a brother under the skin to old what’s-his-name, that doctor obsessed with euthanasia.
Syria, Israel, and Water: Prelude to a War? — The Middle East is, after all, a desert, and Syria has not been managing its water well, not to mention that Turkey, a fellow Muslim nation, has gotten greedy.
Welcome Home Scott Speicher — Ocean Guy’s beautiful meditation on Scott Speicher’s death and the fears that follow all military people (and they’re not the obvious fears liberals would assume).
The Box Office — a reminder that the Navy ain’t what it used to be (not that there’s anything wrong with that)
No Surprise Here: “Anti-War” Movement Was Really Anti-Bush
Obama the non-philanderer — Neo-neocon advances good reasons for accepting that Obama, unlike Clinton, isn’t going to destroy himself with carnal lust. If he has, the women (or men?) are either too in thrall to his wonderfulness or too scared to talk. Since both are unlikely, I accept his non-philandering as true. I also suspect he’s really scared of Michelle.
Do Americans Care about British Soldiers? — Michael Yon asks the question. The answer is that the American military and militarily oriented Americans do care. I suspect the larger public doesn’t even know that British soldiers serve and die in Afghanistan.
