101st Blog Of The Day

Today my mission to visit one member of the Fighting 101st each day led me over to Chaotic Synaptic Activity. Although not as frequently updated with posts as some blogs (who will remain, of course, nameless) there is quite a lot of interest over there. Cognitive rocks and really neat war trophies for example.

101st Blog Of The Day

Today my mission to visit one member of the fighting 101st each day took me to Point Five. They have determined through exhaustive research that everything in the entire blogosphere traces back to a single IP. Glenn Greenwald is actually talking to himself!

I wonder if that's what Sherlock found?

Today my ongoing mission to visit one member of the Fighting 101st each day led me over to Technicalities. Theresa has an excellent post up detailing some of the difficulties in evacuating a large number of people from a war zone. She provides a nice little smackdown to the reporters/politicians/lefties who are performing much wailing and gnashing of teeth over the "slowness" of the US evacuation.

Today, my ongoing mission to visit one member of the Fighting 101st each day led me over to the Northern Alliance Wannabe. Dan S. has a news story about a man assaulting a car with a pigeon. Honest.

Oh, by the way Dan, I got a nine!

101st Blog Of The Day

For the benefit of my new visitors from Powerline, I'll fill you in on my ongoing project. I set out more than two months ago to visit one member of the Fighting 101st Keyboard Brigade each day. It is a way to ensure I visit some new territory each day, while hopefully giving some mutual publicity. It's sort of like what Powerline did with me this week, but on a much smaller scale*.

So today I visited Vita ab Alto. The proprietor, one Monk, has a story out of his adopted home state of Alabama that is truly creepy. Giant yellowjacket nests! And they are – you have got to see the picture! Now, I'm highly allergic to wasps, so if I saw one of these things around my neck of the woods, I'd be over the horizon in a very short time indeed.

* Until Powerline linked me, this blog never saw traffic like it has today. In fact, my hitcounter is sitting over in the corner with it's little digital arms over it's ears whimpering. But don't worry, he'll be fine. I hope folks are enjoying the site.

101st Blog Of The Day

You know, it's a really crazy world these days. My ongoing mission to visit one member of the fighting 101st each day has led me to a lot of interesting blogs. But I have to go halfway around the world to get news from my old home town. Is that weird or what?

Today, I visited the Finest Kind Clinic and Fish Market, presided over by Nancy Reyes. Among a lot of interesting takes on things, I find Nancy blogging about Father Heindl, a highly decorated chaplain who served in the second World War. Father Heindl has passed away, but I have to go to a blogger from the Philippines to get news about Rochester, New York. What a funny world it is. Anyway, stop by Nancy's place and read about Father Heindl and his life. He was a true inspiration. (By the way, for some reason his name and face are really familiar, but I can't place him. I'm not Catholic, so I doubt I ever met him in a church, but I'm wondering if I met him when I was doing a lot of retirement party photography for guys who had served in the war.)

Today, it is kind of fitting that my ongoing mission to visit one member of the fighting 101st took me over to Israel Matzav, the blog of Carl in Jerusalem. He has a lot more close-up view on what is going on in Israel than a lot of bloggers, myself included, of course. Today he extracts some nuggets from a Washington Post article that help clarify what the problem with Hezbollah in Lebanon is.

Today, my ongoing mission to visit one member of the fighting 101st each day led me over to PostWatch. The Postwatcher keeps an eye on more than just the Washington Post. Today there's a pretty handy takedown of a particularly inane article by Walter Pincus that's really a must read.

101st Blog Of The Day

Today, my ongoing mission to visit one member of the fighting 101st each day led me over to Abracadabra. Alcibiades is pretty well as gleeful about the Plame lawsuit as I am. As in fact a lot of bloggers are. Alcibiades also blogs at Kesher Talk, by the way. Which is why the name was familiar. Or it might have been that Greek guy.

101st Blog Of The Day

Today, my ongoing mission to visit one member of the fighting 101st each day took me over to Blogger Beer. Marcus Aurelius has an interesting observation: how many uninjured Palestinian children need to be rushed to the hospital after an attack by the IDF on the Palestinian Foreign Ministry building? Isn't Pallywood interesting?

101st Blog Of The Day

Today, my mission to visit one member of the fighting 101st each day leads me over to Rocket's Brain Trust. Rocket's Brain has been following the big story of the day, the Mumbai bombings. Of course, that subject is provoking a flood of pixels all over.

And, Since I actually missed doing a 101st BOTD yesterday (first time in more than two months of this project, I figured I'd do a make-up here as well.

I also visited Infinite Universe, but nobody was home. They're moving to Townhall.com. You got another one, Hugh!

Today, my mission to visit one member of the fighting 101st each day led me over to Violet, yet another new blog to me. Violet has been following the Protein Wisdom cyber-stalker story pretty closely these past few days. I hope your daughter's leg heals well and quickly, Violet.

101st Blog Of The Day

Today, my ongoing task to visit one member of the fighting 101st each day led me over to Dispatches From The Socialist Gulag. Where there is an apt description of the chorus of knee-jerk criticism from the left these days. The Statler and Waldorf theory! Nice job!

101st Blog Of The Day

today, my mission to visit one member of the fighting 101st each day led me over to The PC Free Zone Gazette aka Theodore's World. Wild Thing has a great title for a post about today's terror busts. I won't spoil the surprise, go over and check them out.

101st Blog Of The Day

Today, my seemingly endless journey to visit one member of the fighting 101st each day led me to The Uncooperative Blogger. Brian Bonner has a number of good posts up today, including one on a border operation I had never even heard of.
