Picnic 2006-07-10

Today's picnic basket of items from my blogroll.



  • Pros & Cons says the left celebrates rape. Or the reports of rape. Okay, he didn't really say that. But I did.

  • ScrappleFace says Dubya has a backup plan.

  • Indian Chris (Hooah Wife & Friends) says Bush stole another election.

  • Sportslady (From Peaches to Beaches) finds a treasue trove of humor.

  • Dragonlady survived the oldest daughter's birthday party. But just barely.

  • Macker looks at Khan. Khan! KHHAAANNNNNNNN!

  • Jo's Cafe says short people got a good reason.

  • That 1 Guy (Dunken Wisdom) thanks his friends.

  • Laurence Simon (Is Full Of Crap) says there's black and there's black. He's just not sure which is which.

    I appreciate the link. However, I think characterizing the post as "the Left celebrates rape" is quite a stretch. My point is not that they celebrate the rape -- I wouldn't suggest that even the most ardent anti-military war detractors celebrate rape. The point is that the rape and murder, as horrible as it is, is ammunition for the anti-war folks to argue to bring our troops home, that we're not making things better over there -- an argument they have been making since the inception of the war, all evidence to the contrary.

    Though I disagree with the anti-war folks on policy grounds, I would not attribute such monstrous inclinations to them as celebrating rape.

  7. Old Style Masculinity...

    It seems that a hollywood has-been is grabbing at headlines by encouraging men to rethink the definition of masculinity. It seems he doesn't like the idea of our President being cowboyish. I have no idea what he has against cowboys. Cowboys are Ameri....
