I just thought I’d stall on any possible blogging tonight by throwing up a few links from some of the fine folk on my blogroll.<\/p>\n
War on Islamic Terror Updates<\/strong><\/p>\n First, the campaign in Iraq graphically compared<\/a> to Viet Nam, courtesy Bastard Sword<\/a>. No comparison. I may have to swipe … err … borrow this chart.<\/p>\n Second, Jay Tea at Wizbang!<\/a> examines the bankruptcy of strategy in Iraq<\/a>, but he isn’t talking about the good guys or President Bush. Instead, he’s nailing the insurgents and terrorists. Okay, yeah, there’s a swipe or two at the Democrats.<\/p>\n Third, In the Bullpen<\/a>‘s Chad Evans points to a story that Iran may only be months away<\/a> from atomic weapons. Well, that’s comforting.<\/p>\n Fourth, Mrs. Greyhawk at the Mudville Gazette<\/a> is asking for Christmastime support for our wounded soldiers<\/a> via the very worthy Soldiers’ Angels<\/a>.<\/p>\n 2005 Weblog Awards<\/strong><\/p>\n Finalists for the Wizbang<\/a>‘s Bloggies, 2005 style<\/a>, have been named and voting is open. No, Target Centermass is neither a finalist nor even a nominee (as far as I bothered to notice), and that’s quite understandable given the worthy blogs on the ballot.<\/p>\n Unsurprisingly, my favorite category is the Best Military Blog<\/a>. John at finalist Argghhh!!!<\/a> pays a brief, humble tribute<\/a> to the competition and a few not on the ballot.<\/p>\n Eric of Eric’s Grumbles Before the Grave<\/a>, founder of the Life, Liberty, Property community<\/a>, almost sounds like a proud father listing the six members<\/a> of the community that have been named finalists.<\/p>\n Also, the Llama Butchers<\/a>, finalists for Best Culture\/Gossip Blog<\/a>, have started a rather interesting<\/a> campaign<\/a>.<\/p>\n Miscellaneous<\/strong><\/p>\n Protein Wisdom<\/a>‘s Jeff Goldstein waxes poetic, doing that haiku<\/a> voodoo that only Jeff can do so well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I just thought I’d stall on any possible blogging tonight by throwing up a few links from some of the fine folk on my blogroll.
