I get good feedback from these “reading list” posts. I’m not sure whether to be pleased or concerned that some of you actually trust my judgment when it comes to suggested reading material, but as The Yak’s Big Book of Ambiguous Situations says: “When in doubt, take it as a compliment.”
Here’s your suggested Tuesday reading:
1. On Friendship:David atthird world county has a friend – and explains what it means to be one.
2.On Solving the Problem by Redefining Reality: One of the better posts of not just the day but the entire week. Villainous Company takes on Pelosi and the entire revisionist wing of the Barking Moonbat Brigade.
3. On Christmas:Get a head start on Christmas shopping and help a worthy cause. Personalized ornaments, proceedsto benefit “Operation Phone Home,” a program that gets prepaid phone cards into the hands of men and women in the US armed forces. Details (and images)at Pet’s Garden Blog.
4. On World History – In Advance: Don Surber discusses therecent Iraniandeclaration that Israel’s days are numbered…and acknowledges that John Bolton may also be looking down the short end of a shorter employment status.
5. On Darth W and His Stormtroopers of Catnaps: Go to The Right Place.
6. On Christmas Music: Cigar Intelligence Agency reviews the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. It gets the nod today because TSS has long been Yak the Younger’s absolute favorite Christmas music. He owns almost all of their CDs (and gets no flack for playing them at high volume at any time of year).

Immigrant Organizations Denounce New Citizenship T…
If the citizenship test is hard, that’s the price that immigrants must pay to become citizens of our country. If “many Americans” can’t pass the same test, it’s an indictment of our public schools, not an indication that it’s “too hard”….

Thanks for the link. Yeh, I have a friend. I’m still working on the fingers of one hand counting friends, but I may have to move to the other hand, soon.

Sidenote: I thought for a sec that y’all had added a favicon for your blog, but on closer inspection I saw it was just Opera gussying up my addressbar. Send me a Yak-ish graphic and I’d be happy to send you back a usable favicon.

Clash of Civilizations?…
Just a few off-the-cuff thoughts on the putative “clash of civilizations” between the West and Islamic societies.

Generals Call Democrats in Congress “naive”…
Now to put forth yet another argument about Iraq, which the left should absolutely love (sarcasm), lets take a look at the death rate in Iraq before Saddam was toppled.
You do the math… everyone is so anxious to quote how many deaths there have be…..

Europe is Finished…
Europe is a civilizational wasteland, suffering from not only a complete lack of self-identity but also a total disinterest in any future plans. In short, Europe is heading south, fast……

Michael Jackson Dead?…

Before I go into details of his possible death, a little background on how this could have come to pass….

Uh, ok. *Momentary pause to check the dictionary* I’m assuming a favicon is the icon that takes the place of the “E” (yeah, I still use Explorer). Actually, it would be great to have one. I’ll work on getting you an appropriate icon.

Cup time…
TFM has no objection. After all most pro sports have some form of testing. That said, I don’t look forward to blogging on golf’s first drug scandal. If history teaches us anything, it will happen one day.
And I’ll have a Knucklehead award to hand…

Trading the beach for cactus…
Vero Beach was a sleepy Florida community 60 years ago. Not anymore, and the Dodgers may have outgrown their long-time spring home. Or is the move being made so the team can be closer to the west coast? Does it matter?…
