SOBer Thoughts (111507)
This is the first half of a long-overdue catch-up post, to say the least. The other half will appear tomorrow. Hopefully I can get back into a once-a-week (or more) groove with this.

Ohio Representative Danny Bubp, who is heading to Iraq, is a popular guy in the Alliance, as he should be. Andy’s Angle has an audio interview; Mark at Weapons of Mass Discussion has a tribute. Stay safe, Mr. Bubp.

Bearing Drift doesn’t like the Sirius-XM merger, though I think he wants shareholders, and not the FCC or the Justice Department, to stop it.

Boring Made Dull is not impressed with the deal BizzyBlog Internet Wall of Shame member Yahoo! made with relatives and other associated with imprisoned journalists in China. He shouldn’t be. The journalists are where they are because of the company’s cooperation with the Chinese Communist police state, weren’t freed as a result of the talks, and should be freed immediately.

Brain Shavings got to something I’ve been meaning to (which is why I need to do these posts more) — The UN is whining about US “control” of the Internet again. Claudia Rossett at Pajamas Media thinks this is something to be really worried about, but I don’t think the assembly of complainers has any real clout — yet. Nevertheless, they’re not to be ignored.

Eye Hacker Blog has a story you know Old Media won’t touch unless their faces are rubbed in it — “Anglicans Ask to Join Catholic Church.” Lots of ‘em. And I’m sure you know why.

TaxMan Blog (HT Conservative Culture) — “….. our military loses almost 1000 soldiers a year even in ‘non war’ eras.” I also like his newly-designed Michigan quarter.

Patrick at Central Ohioans Against Terrorism has a must-see video (link to CBN article is here) with transcript, about terror sympathizers and terrorists — in Hillard, Ohio, and Metro Columbus. I don’t suppose anyone at the Columbus Dispatch has bothered to see it.

Interested-Participant updates us on “virginity restoration.” Really.

FYI News is 3. Congrats. It is a truly special place. Where else can you get news about coffee-preparing monkeys, cows fleeing McDonald’s, and the pants-lawsuit judge losing his job?
