Cox and Forkum's wry, artful political commentary is always entertaining and thought provoking, however Alan Forkum's post on suicide bombers is a must read.
Mike the Marine offers two not-to-be-missed postings. The first, a positive item, points to a item posted at Doc Russia's that explains why the Marines are everything the Left despises and why we should give thanks that such men exist. The second is a perfect example of CNN's perfidy and why it's way past time to delete CNN from your cable settings.
Yale at Horsefeathers offers an excellent article "CHASING MANLINESS IN A POST MODERN WORLD" and an astute observation:
Moore understands that neither manhood nor womanhood can be easily attained without the help of the pressure of family, teachers, and culture. And in these post-modern times in which the media provides countless examples of feminist ideals and models for young women, boys have little to chose from except the corrupt models of absent fathers, indicted rappers, and sports figures who use steroids to achieve their fame and money and sexual prowess. All models who inspire a barbarian model for susceptible boys.On the other hand the today’s culture and school seem only capable of providing mainly wimpish models as alternatives.
Speaking of manliness...Rob's on vacation and has finally met the girl of his dreams. A hat tip to Matt who offers so many interesting links today that you should just follow them all.
