Linkology
October 7, 2004
Yeah I know, I don't do this nearly enough so here's the requisite dosage of linkage linky loo: - Los Angeles Conserva-blonde Moxie is usually a loose-cannon, but she has a funny bit posted this week on coming out of the political closet. - You must check out this article on babies being born alive after abortion, and the doctors' sick attitudes towards this fact. Good golly we have a merciful God ( Via Avery at SDS ) - Joanne Jacobs brings attention to the latest release of the Hello Kitty Debit MasterCard for girls. Talk about mark of the beast eh? For the record, if I had this when I was 12, I would have WRECKED the bank. - Sparked by Tiger's consistent tipping of his hat, La Shawn's asking ladies what they miss and appreciate about other old-school, gentlemanly behavior (read: chivalry). Oh where to begin..... - My column editor mentioned this to me in passing, but Joe at the Evangelical Outpost has some thoughts on Justice Anton Scalia's recent remarks suggesting that sexual orgies should be encouraged because they eliminate social tensions. Okay, Jocelyn. - Seriously, I've got to quit it with the Oprah talk, but yesterday's show focused on what it's like to be a 30-year-old woman in 30 different countries. Yeah yeah yeah, we all know Oprah's slant, but whereas some people would like to highlight the fact that one of the Iraqi women said "For me, as an Iraqi woman, I don't feel safe," as a means of further berating Bush and the war (note: read Bill Whittle's take on it if you hadn't yet). I haven't heard anyone make mention of the Cuban woman who said by age 30, the average Cuban woman has had four count'em 4 abortions. No complaints about a place where abortions are free and getting a divorce takes 5 minutes and costs $3.50 (American dollars)? I see. - And lastly, the often foul and way-left proprietor of Dooce.com offers us this photo op of her daughter Leta, sporting a "Mommy Wants a New President" tee. Surprisingly enough, unlike some folks, this doesn't bother me. I'll write later on why I don't have a problem with parents bringing their kids into politics, but not before I finish off this Alan Keyes topical rubbish. 
Moxie's post re: coming out of the political closet was very funny. It's not much better in NY. About ten years ago I was at a dinner meeting with some fairly influential people (I'll keep the identification vague to protect the guilty.) In the course of the conversation, a respected member of the community, a gentleman then around 50 or so, laughingly told us he had been an-honest-to-God card-carrying communist in college. The table chuckled. How cute. A little later someone asked us to name a modern politician we admired. I mentioned Bill Bennett (pre-gambling). The shock. The horror. There would have been less revulsion if I had clubbed a baby seal right there amidst the free range chicken. Or ordered a domestic beer. Welcome to the club. Being a Red mind in a Blue state sometimes makes you the turkey at the shoot. Oh and memer looves the Dooce (no, not in that way). Dooce rocks. She's not political, just real. Tony: Yeah well, Seattle's no different. And we're supposedly called the most "unchurched" region as well. That won't last for long though. Among my favorite things to do these days are read a big fat Ann Coulter book on the bus on the way to work...just. 'cause. I. can. Even though I don't always agree with Coulter, the horror on the passengers face is enough for me to keep doing it. Oh, this works with books with the word "Hell" (literal) in the title too. Memer: Doesn't matter what the Iraqi woman was alluding to, people were way too quick to contort for their own benefits. To your other point, I agree Dooce is "real" (in the relative sense of the word). In fact, as begrudingly as I say it, she gets props for influencing my writing. I have no problem giving talent its do. Still, it's clear her fallout with the Mormon church left her hard-hearted to a lot of things. And that's fine for her to be that way, I just pray she doesn't stay in that place. And though she doesn't write "political" she's Left. Left is philosophical, not political. Left is philosophical, not political. Can't argue that. Touché, mademoiselle. But I'll give her this. That talk about the "reconvening of the procedure" was brilliant. "Yeah well, Seattle's no different" Friends of ours moved to your fair city last year. The thing they noticed right away was the widespread political liberalism. Now, that it is such that they would notice it means something, as they came from Minnesota--not a Republican vote for President since 1972, home of Walter Mondale and Hubert Humphrey. Seattle must have its moments. Given what I read on this site, though, I don't think they have a chance against you. Mark S. Aw man, you missed your chance! { Comments are now closed for this entry. } |
