Having finished off a bottle of Cotes du Rhone (le Clos du Caillou 2000..only $10.99 great buy) I'm half in the bag and feel real lazy, so, I'm gonna let others do most of my work tonight. That is the beauty of being a blogger: linking to other bloggers and making comments.
Our first stop is Midwest Conservative Journal. I really like this site. I happen to be from St. Louis and I grew up in Webster Groves which Christopher Johnson has mentioned a few times. I also like the way he deconstructs articles and editorials. It is akin to what I do to Molly Ivins. Molly is easy and I hope to graduate to more tougher stuff. Anyway, I know Pat Buchanan is a rabid antisemite (is that two words and is Semite capitalized? And one more thing. Arabs happen to be of the Semitic race, so how can they be antisemites? Just checking) but just when did Joe Sobran cross over to the dark side? I mentioned earlier this week that I had attended a memorial service for my friend Cindy's grandmother and I was a little bit miffed at a passage in the gospel reading about 'that is why the Jews wanted to kill Jesus'. OK Listen up. The Romans killed Jesus. I mean it has been 2000 years and some people still don't have this straight.
Scroll on down and read how he takes apart a Post Dispatch editorial. On the editorial page of the Post Dispatch they have a quote by Joseph Pulitzer about all the good things that newspapers are supposed to do and then the Post Dispatch violates them all. Way to go Christopher!
Another interesting site is rantburg. I like the way this guy thinks. An example:

Another must see site is USS Clueless.
So Iraq is holding a referendum. I wonder if that is like the Palestinian election that Jimmy Carter certified? In an op-ed written for the Atlanta Urinal and Constipation, Jimmy Carter said that Yassir (Yassir Yassir he's our terrorist...how many different spellings of his name are there?) Arafat was the 'duly elected' head of the Palestinian people. Jimmy, stick to building houses, please. Oh, and Jimmy's going to Cuba to kiss Castro's ass and Clinton is going to East Timor. Quick! Close the borders!
Anyway, I got a copy of the ballot used in the elections
My type of election
And the Rolling Stones are going on tour. Denbeste makes a joke about Brian Jones (who is dead by the way) joining them. Is Keith Richards still alive? Sure doesn't look it.
And with that, I'm off to look at other sites
