Today's Links 2005 07 04 Monday

I do wish to announce to the world that Searchlight Crusade is no longer a blog. It is now an online magazine. Blog posts are now articles. Comments are now effectively letters to the publisher. Trackbacks are lists of publicisers. You get the idea. Please forgive any inadvertent references to the former activity of blogging on behalf of the staff, which has been retained en masse from the previous regime.

Mossback Culture has an Open Letter To Arundhati Roy proving that the United States isn't the only place where we have people thinking agricultural produce (among other things) falls from the sky as mana.

Especially worthwhile submissions:

Libercontrarian

has a post in aggreement with my recent one on Illegal Immigration. It seems to be a political maxim that politicians never act until there are bodies on the ground.

Mr. Completely on the Stella Award for stupidest plaintiff victories in lawsuits this year

And I'm going to brag a bit on myself for going through all blogs in both the Raging RINO and the Life Liberty Property group for worthwhile posts in one day!

UPDATE: And of course, as soon as I actually post, Dean's World posts a great MP3 that brings tears to my eyes. Read the post before clicking the MP3.

Carnival of Liberty #1 is up at Unrepentant Individual and crosslinked on the LLP Group blog



favorites:

Anarchangel on inherent versus constructed rights.

No Angst Zone makes me wonder why we bother having a constitution if judges can decide to ignore it.



I'm hosting number 2 (mirrored at the group blog), so if you prefer you can send me your entries direct at dm (at) searchlight crusade dot com. Deadline is probably going to be enforced more strictly on this one!
