Happy Saturday!
I’m in South Carolina to celebrate with former high school classmates this weekend. I’ve been out of high school 20 years. Most are married with children, but none of us look like we’ve been out of high school 20 years. 
Interesting things:
— James White is a man on a mission. He’s up to Part IV of his series on debunking The Da Vinci Code. For background on why Christian bloggers should blog about the book and upcoming movie, see Bloggers and Da Vinci and all links in the post.
— Do you know Christian blogger Randy Thomas? He not only has a great-looking site, but a powerful testimony, too.
— Christian Recovery is collecting testimonies.
— Pundit Review Blogger and radio show host Gregg Jackson wants your input on his homosexual “marriage” post.
— Libya Imprisons Blogger (via The Tar Pit)
— Glenn Greenwald on George Bush’s trip to Latin America: “George Bush is here in Latin America this week, visiting Brazil and Argentina, and the standard reports of the American media are trying to depict a handful of isolated, juvenile socialist-organized “demonstrations” as some sort of sweeping, popular mass protest against Bush’s visit…”
— Is James Dobson the most influential Christian evangelical in the country?
— If you’re a milblogger (military blogger), register your blog at Milblogging.com.
— I missed last week’s Michael-Steele-in-blackface blog swarm intentionally because I didn’t think other bloggers should give the liberal blogger who did it more attention than he or his kindergarten photoshopping deserved. But he got it. As a result, his traffic has probably shot up and he’s more popular than ever. Who’s talking: Conservative Dialysis, A.M. Blog, GOP Bloggers, and the Oreo cookie debacle…
— I also missed, though not intentionally, the flap about the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, which contends that Clarence Thomas doesn’t represent the views of mainstream blacks. In my opinion, that’s a true statement, thank goodness. Why conservatives are so upset is a mystery. Who’s talking: RightFaith, New Leadership Blog, WorldNetDaily article…
— Does leftist, Bush-and-Cheney-hating, corporation-bashing Michael Moore own stock in the evil Halliburton?
— Welcome Wake Up Black America and The Real Ugly American to the blogosphere!
— Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, based on the fourth book in a seven-book series, premieres on November 18. Will you see it the first day? (Come out of the closet!)
— I agreed with leftist New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd earlier this year when she wrote about the dearth of women op-ed writers (reg. req.). Hate her politics; love her personal essays. Well, she’s done it again in What’s a Modern Girl to Do? I may blog about this later. Well-done, Maureen.
Do you have a new blog and/or excellent post? Trackback it.

Dobson has paid his dues. He’s consistently stood up for family values when other people were afraid to. He has been viciously attacked and has suffered physically, which I’m sure his enemies, including the media, were happy about.
Why is anyone surprised by the smears of Michael Steele and Clarence Thomas? Like a certain paper-hanger of yore, racist filth is the far Left’s most tried and true weapon.
I don’t know if if this counts for a ‘excellent’ post but I too wrote about Dowd … at least from the perspective of a male who’s married to a woman who in fact does have it all:

Wow I can not thank you enough LaShawn for the link and the welcome.
Of course Blogspot seems to be crashed today LOL.
Oh well I will have a post about a banquet I attended Thursday that included a very moving tribute to CW2 Lawrence Shane Colton who was killed in Iraq April 11th 2004 as soon as it is back up and running.
I hope you all like it and are as moved as I was.
Why’d you have to mention the Oreos? I just satisfied my cravings by polishing off a pack today and now I want more.
La Shawn:
I heard an experienced British security officer discuss the French and Argentine riots.
The French situation was as discussed by many - a result of the French welfare state treating these thugs gently. Their security apparatus is weak, and the thugs know it.
For the Argentines, the officer said they were simply unprepared. They should have, because the players are the same professional Communists who disrupt any free-trade conference.
Following the observation that Venezuela, Brazil, and Argentina have Leftist leaning governments, could it be that the Argentine security admninstration stayed in the background and let the riots occur, in part of a statement of their own Communist leanings. Just a perfect oppornity to bash Bush.
Most of this is symbolic, because the US is Argentina’s largest trading partner, and is likely to remain so.
There is nothing better for “World Peace” than trade, and Chavez is about to be locked out.
Its killing me to see this brother suffer though this, but we must stay the high road.

Come over to my blog and read an excerpt from David Gregory’s book Dinner with a Perfect Stranger. It will truly bless your Sunday!

I bought advance tickets and my oldest daughter and I will be attending the 12:01 a.m. premiere and getting in line an hour early to secure decent seats.
Yesterday, I bought her Bertie Bott’s, Chocolate Frogs, and Fizzing Whizbees. I even braved Hot Topic (eww) to purchase an HP t-shirt for her to wear. These are all a surprise for her to open the night we go.
I can’t wait. I got a widget for my dashboard when there were 190 days until the opening
Don’t know if this is excellent, but I posted about the question of whether the Paris insurrection is “organized” or “spontaneous”, at:

I don’t want to see all those old classmates of mine. They make me feel old…..
If you or someone else you know wants to take a short American culture quiz, go to http://www.metrolingua.com/quiz.htm (I created it based on non-Americans’ questions).
I’m going to create Part 2 of the quiz, so if there’s anything you want to know or anything you want the world to know about American culture, please contact me or leave a comment at my blog.
Thanks for the plug La Shawn. I hope some of your
readers do feel lead to share their testimony.
God Bless
It looks like government mandated segregated schools may come back in vogue in Chicago.
