Evangelical Underground just came up with a great idea: Evangelical Blog Awards. Go vote for your favorites!
Other announcements: Please visit and support a new blog on the block, Young Americans For Social Security Reform.
The Carnival of the Vanities is up at The Raving Atheist.
If you’re in town on Friday, stop by the Heritage Foundation and check out the “Rathergate panel,” featuring Matt Sheffield of Ratherbiased.com, Power Line’s Paul Mirengoff and Kevin Aylward of Wizbang.
The Cato Institute is sponsoring an event tomorrow. Seth Mnookin, author of Hard News: The Scandals at The New York Times and Their Meaning for American Media, will discuss his book, and Jack Shafer of Slate will comment.
Looks like I didn’t make the top 125 political web sites. Again.
What’s a GodBlogCon?
Update (1/27): Captain Ed fact-checks the New York Times. He’s fact-checking the Washington Post, too.
Go see the 54th Christian Carnival. A few stand-outs:
Fringe: “Christians today suffer from severe spiritual drought and famine, lacking in Christian principles and values, embracing worldly pursuits and pleasures, and most importantly and regrettably, the absence of Jesus-centered lives. In many respects, I’m just as guilty of contributing to these horrifying statistics as the next Christian.”
Pseudo-Polymath: “There is a common meme on the left that the reason the right does not support their government sponsored charities is that the right is more concerned with amassing personal wealth and does not ‘care’ for the poor.”
Personal Trainer: “[W]hen the drums of war sound, and peace flees over the horizon, we have a duty to respond to war in a way that is honoring to God at every level, both public and private.”
Also see Onward, Christian Soldiers.
In the Outer: “While I do not doubt that Islam has within its religion, and its scriptures, references that are suspiciously alarming to the West, the same can be said for fundamentalist Christian religion and Christian texts, read out of its context, to those outside the faith.”

On the matter of things evangelical, may I suggest you check my blog of late. I think you might find my written rummerings of interest, with regards to your most recent post.
Dear La Shawn,
I found your site from ProLifeBlogs.com. I’m thrilled to see young woman committed to life and living for Christ. God bless you in your writing and your work!
Matt Anderson, MD
Thanks for the link and trackback, La Shawn! jon @ personal trainer
Thanks for the link to YAFSSR. It looks like an up and coming blog.
I, Baklava (poster name), provide computer consulting services for the state of CA and promise you that the contract for services in no way is making me lie as liberals do every day in thier quest to destroy capitalism, freedom and America as we know it. I am telling you facts and truth in this post despite the fact that I have a contract with the state of CA government.
One of the Ten commandments is:
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
This means to me that it is not ok to smear someone with alleged wrongdoing (apply double-standard or assert falsity) when it isn’t true.
It’s ok to have romantic views about how the government should operate but the romantic view should be applied to all wrongdoers equally and one individual shouldn’t be singled out. That’s my belief. It is a Christian belief that I believe. And I apply it to Maggie.
It’s a great event and this will surelly highlight the best blogs out there ! Ovi
I tried to ping a trackback but received some kind of forbidden (fruit?) message. Anyways, thanks for your link! I honored you in this post over at my blog.
TheBloke: See Update III of this post. Incompatibility “issues.”
Congratulations on your nomination as Best Evangelical Blog-Politics.
