We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the same way we respect his theories that his wife is beautiful and his children smart. -- H.L. Mencken
Once again, we are picking up this Tour where we left off, having just completed the S’s, so we begin with the most common consonant in the English language.
The Angry Cyclist is exactly that, and blogs about the hypocrisy of tree-huggers and the arrest of Bobby Brown. (Bobby Brown was arrested? Again?
) He also tends to concentrate on local politics for Boston from a conservative point of view. If you’re from the region, he’s a must-read.
His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Misha I, invites you to peruse his website, where he eloquently rants about all the things that anger him during the day, from reporters who no longer report to lawyers who twist the law and judges who legislate from the bench. Always worth catching up on, and with connections around the world, he is always up to date. (He’s also at war with ”the puppy blender”.)
The Astronomicon is talking about NASA, and how it might have outlived its usefulness. I tend to agree, and think that space travel should be put into the hands of private enterprise, much like air travel was during the early part of the last century. I just recently blogrolled him, so I’m not as familiar with his work as I’d like to be, but there is definite promise there.
Jennie, at The Greatest Jeneration is talking about the recent revelation that Russia has been helping the Iranians to develop their nuclear power plant. I can foresee a chance that we will have to utilize a low-yield nuke, just to show people that we are not afraid to use them to protect our national security. (What with Iranian-backed terrorist groups - Hezbollah - already having all of Saddam’s leftovers WMD, that day may come sooner rather than later.)
The Noble Pundit asks a very legitimate question about the legal controversy regarding the display of the Ten Commandments in Alabama. He also provides general investing advice (but not tips), such as definitions of investing terms and general concepts. Worth a look if you have some ducats to spare.
Spoons, of The Spoons Experience, rants and raves about some dizzy bint making fun af Americans and their guns, while simultaneously managing to get most of her information completely wrong. He also eloquently remarks about NOW endorsing the least likely candidate on the Democratic ticket, Carol Moseley-Braun. (Uninterrupted laughter, in other words.) I mean, even Al Sharpton is looking askance at this woman.
Tiger is an attorney who manages to blog about subjects ranging from his court cases to the state and condition of his belly button (a nightly ritual). He keeps me checking up, because I never know where he’ll begin from, nor where he’ll end up, but I know that I will end up learning something before he finishes. Kind of like a modern-day Fat Albert, without the simpering sidekicks…
I’m going to finish tonight with an extraordinarily gifted writer and engineer, who manages to turn some very difficult concepts into simple to understand English. If he isn’t on your list of frequent reads, then you’ve obviously never read any of his work. I can only urge you to correct that lack as soon as possible. If you already read his work, then you know what I mean. I am proud to have Steven den Beste on my BlogRoll.
With just about half a dozen left, we’ll be finishing up tomorrow. Thanks for swinging by.

The city of Boston (the largest city in one of the most liberal states in the nation) has been ordered to hire white firefighters.
The least surprising part about this is that the city is “looking into” this court order, perhaps in an attempt to determine how they can weasel out, or file an appeal.
The irony is sweet.
