Good morning.
- Modern day slavery … in Haiti, they are called restavéks.
- Being cynical about not being cynical. “Publius” at Obsidian Wings rewrites history, noting “America was whipped up in a frenzy by October 2002″ regarding Iraq. Frenzy? Yah, riiiight we all remember the riots, the mass demonstrations, the impassioned speeches … or not.
- On facebook and the “notice me please” generation.
- On dealing with grief.
- A cartoon (political).
- Siris on political experience.
- A homily on Matthew 18:15-20.
- Hitchcock and the “lecherous monster”.
- On the nature of the divine, or God is not a supercomputer.
- Mr Peirce examines the “uppity” remark of Mr Westmoreland and the defense.
- The Virgin Spring noted and discussed.
- A pro-life series of posts begun, starting with infanticide.
- Country roots vs city sensibilities and Ms Palin.
- How to talk to a non-cyclist … heh. (HT: Fat Cyclist)
- Carnival call … noted here too.
- Mr Obama and Mr McCain’s acceptance speeches in word cloud.
I was a bit exasperated by the attacks on Obama’s ‘inexperience’, but didn’t say anything about it because I thought it was inevitable that someone would eventually point out how utterly absurd it is as an argument. No one really did.
You mean a double-standard exists?? Shocking.
The reason pretty obviously can’t be a “double standard”, because it was never really pointed out by either side, including those who were being attacked with it (and now the tables are turned, it isn’t being pointed out by the other side, either).
Thanks for the link. Adding you to the blogroll.
