• The World of Doorman-Priest tells of conservatives who target a Muslim community in Britain for protests. Muslims in Bradford respond to the provocation with yawns.

• Gwendolyn Barry with New Global Myth recalls her life as a cab driver and offers a new perspective on the latest hate violence, this time against a Muslim cabbie.

• Slant Right's John Houk suggests that "Islamophobia" is an out of date leftist term. Some of us object to painting a group or religion as evil because of examples of evil members. But John knows Muslims are evil because he has examples of evil Muslims. You know, I warned John of the dangers of lead in drinking water, but he wouldn't listen. See what happens? Fortunately, there are no other conservatives who think like that. Right?

• Right. Chuck Thinks Right notes that Jerry Springer likes Obama and, with Chuck logic, concludes that those who like Obama must be Jerry Springer. You know, I warned Chuck's momma of the dangers of home schooling, but she wouldn't listen. See what happens?

• David Everitt-Carlson of The Wild Wild East Dailies in Vietnam concludes America is based on illusions. I dunno. I think of them as unrealized dreams.

• Ned Williams at WisdomIsVindicated notes that Bush campaign manager Ken Mehlman has acknowledged that he is gay. Ned draws an ambiguous conclusion.

• James Wigderson is shocked to see a union activist endorse Senator Russ Feingold (R-WI) because she is a registered lobbyist. Working people are a special interest, you know.

• Manifesto Joe of Texas Blues is in awe at Republican preoccupation with a Presidential vacation.

• Nancy Hanks at The Hankster gets into southern blues with the late Stevie Ray Vaughn.

• Tim McGaha at Tim's Thoughtful Spot develops a fascinating look at history as he crunches numbers from the 1860 census.

• Jack Jodell, friend of the working blogger, at THE SATURDAY AFTERNOON POST ghostwrites a speech for progressives.

Have a safe weekend. Pray for someone in pain. A jobs bill would be good about now.

• James Wigderson illustrates why the rest of us refer to him as Mister James Wigderson SIR with a brief analysis of a local race that includes insights on why local primaries are hard to predict, how Republican traditions are becoming displaced, and how over-the-top campaigns can backfire. Mister James Wigderson SIR is a remarkably gifted writer, but he is devoutly conservative. Tragically, this makes it difficult to swing him over to the dark side.

• Jack Jodell at THE SATURDAY AFTERNOON POST turns his razor sharp analytical scalpel on GOP luminary Congressman Paul Ryan. Ouch! Thank you, sir. May I have another? Ouch!

• The spiritual World of Doorman-Priest explains one hidden meaning behind a brief, important part of the Lord's Prayer.

• RANDOM THOUGHTS has eclectic views on about everything. I like his point on religion, in which he seems fairly tolerant of Bible thumpers like me.

• Ned Williams at WisdomIsVindicated has an interesting objection to the way Harry Reid formulates faith and politics. Ned is usually wrong, but often thoughtful. Worth the read.

• It's okay to read Slant Right's John Houk, but don't forget to wash your hands right after. He attacks Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf as a "fake moderate" (truth here and here) and includes a diatribe on the Terrorist Mosque (sic), Ground Zero Mosque (sic), and 911 Mosque (sic). Sick.

• The Lawyer at MadMike has the answer to NYC Mosque concerns.

• Chuck Thinks Right reacts to atheists offended by crosses honoring slain state troopers. Offended enough to bring suit.

• Manifesto Joe of Texas Blues talks about the difference between weather and climate, and about the difference between Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) and intellect.

• Nancy Hanks at The Hankster says a lot of independent voters really don't like wedge issues.

• David Everitt-Carlson of The Wild Wild East Dailies in Vietnam has thoughts, with graphs, about workplace motivation and euphemisms.

• Gwendolyn Barry with New Global Myth is extremely ticked at the state of ObamAmerica and enlists a video song to help express it.

• MadMike's TheLawyer talks thoughtfully about a possible religion of the scientific future. I dunno. Had some appeal, but still struck me as "May the gravity be with you."

• Tim McGaha at Tim's Thoughtful Spot mentions the most knowledgeable aircraft guru in the solar system and his space flight successors. Tim always finds ways to make hi-tech interesting.

• Ned Williams at WisdomIsVindicated ponders what Democrats will do in South Carolina's Senate race. (Hint: lose).

• Nancy Hanks at The Hankster ponders nightmares, movies, and political beliefs.

• Max's Dad ponders how fate transformed Levi Johnston into the luckiest slacker on the face of the earth.

• Slant Right's John Houk targets Obama for sending the leader of the proposed NY Islamic center abroad on goodwill tours, possibly unaware that it is a continuation of a Bush initiative with the same fellow. John is not much on research. He just knows he's right.

• MyCue at RANDOM THOUGHTS considers the conservative proposition that freedom of religion applies to everyone but Muslims.

• Chuck Thinks Right slams a legislator for wishing death on Sarah Palin. Fellow resigned: an excellent career move.

• James Wigderson's article on a Wisconsin Democratic power grab will make a lot more sense to readers who are armed with the knowledge that DNR means Department of Natural Resources. Glad to help out.

• Jack Jodell, friend of the working blogger, at THE SATURDAY AFTERNOON POST fact checks a TV ad by Fred Thompson.

• The World of Doorman-Priest researches a story about how an Iraqi militant is told off and discovers it is completely bogus. False witness in service to a forgiving God.

• Manifesto Joe of Texas Blues explores proposals by a growing number of Republicans to abolish Social Security.

• David Everitt-Carlson of The Wild Wild East Dailies in Vietnam discovers growing readership in Azerbaijan.
