Pirate's Cove

Happy Sunday. It may be Labor Day, so let’s sit back and remember those who have labored to keep our country safe, and committed the ultimate sacrifice. The pinup is by Gil Elvgren, with a little help.

What is happening on ye olde feedreader?

1. Is the scifi movie dead? That is what QandO wants to know. Plus, help Jon find a better then good scifi movie
2. From Stop the ACLU, loboinok warns us about a judge stopping the White House from warning businesses about hiring illegals
3. Newsbusters gives us another example of how liberals think (shouldn’t that be "feel?")
4. Wasn’t really on the feedreader, and not a blog, but asswipes destroyed a sand castle that was being used to raise money for terminally ill children. Bring back flogging.
5. Beth at Blue Star Chronicles has a year of Wednesday Hero’s
6. The Good Lt. at The Jawa Report has more on the Haditha Marines and the MSM’s flawed narrative
7. The Carnival of the Insanities is up over at Dr. Sanity
8. Over at the Bullwinkle Blog, the Florida Masochist has today’s Knucklehead
9. The pigs have now joined the Great Animal Conspiracy. Or I could just be over-reading. Ask Gaius at Blue Crab Boulevard
10. Still Stacy gives us a little reminder
11. Firewolf says illegals are bringing the biologicals that al Qaeda won’t
12. Cassandra has Clue Train, The Sequal. Sounds like something K.C. and the Sunshine Band would do
13. Ogre has defeatocrats praying
14. Over at Gay Patriot, Bruce offers a few choice selections for the Defeatocrats
15. Go say Happy Birthday! to The Median Sib

Now go outside and enjoy a really incredible day! Your Mom told me to tell you that.

Actually, I want to add one more. Andrew Sullivan has an interesting post up about "what makes a neo-con?" Not to provide criticism, but, I think he has missed the simplest of answers.

"Neo-con" is a derivative of neo-conservative, a term that came into being during the New Deal era, as did the term "neo-liberals." In essense, neo-conservatives were folks that believe heavily in the orginal Liberalism political model (called classical liberalism now), and were known as the true liberals, while the neo-liberals leaned heavily into the Socialism political model. Both are part of the Democratic model, which also includes Classic Conservatism. A good book to check out on this is Contemporary Political Ideologies by Roy C. Macridis.
