Good ol' Charlie Brown, or On the nature of modern life
http://thiswillhurtme.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 05/ good-ol-charlie-brown-or-on-nature…I am going to be totally honest with you and admit that I think that Charles Schulz, creator of Peanuts, should be regarded every bit as highly as any other creative genius that you could name. Forget the never-ending line of Snoopy merchandise for a moment (and I like Snoopy, don't get me wrong).

Russia Voted By Other Nations As "Least Likely To Have Free Elections"
http://grumble.typepad.com/ idjitprop/ 2008/ 05/ russia-voted-by.htmlMOSCOW, RUSSIA - Everyone agrees in Russia that Vladimir Putin was a better president than chess great, Garry Kasparov, would have been. Despite an active campaign by Kasparov and a great deal of popular support, he surprisingly did not get elected. "It's funny that people still vote here," laughs Putin, now retired.

California’s Wrong Turn
http://destinycommunitychurch.net/ blog/ ?p=4California’s Wrong Turn Published in May 16th, 2008 Posted by Pastor Tim in General No Comments It seems quite surreal to turn on the news today to hear pundants and the politically correct media outlets discussing a landmark 300 page decision by the California Supreme Court paving the way for gay marriage under the guise that it is a basic “liberty” protected by the constitution.

Ludovicians (pissing in the wind)
http://prozacville.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 05/ ludovicians-pissing-in-wind.htmlHave been putting my week-long supine state to 'good' use by reading a novel or two. Steven Hall's Raw Shark Texts seemed to resonate. I could do with being attacked by a memory-munching Ludovician at the moment.

An Ignoramus
http://www.falseperspective.com/ oped/ an-ignoramus/http://www.falseperspective.com/oped/an-ignoramus/. Our workplace lefty barker showed up yesterday to lecture an adjacent co-worker about Big Oil. She managed to be entirely confusing and obviously had no idea what she was talking about. I sat mostly quiet because I generally consider arguing (or
