I'm going to be out of town until Sunday on a camping trip, but I want to pass along some suggested reading on the way out the door.

Generation Why? asks which PD would make you feel safer.

Dan Riehl runs over Texas Prosecutor Ronnie Earle like a Mack truck, making me think Earle should be indicting himself for ethics violations. I've no love for Delay, but Earle's past seems evey bit as sordid, if not more so.

John in Carolina makes the very good point that even though we seem to have defeated the anti-American coalition trying to build the International Freedom Center at Ground Zero, the WTC Memorial still needs guarding.

Remember earlier in the weekwhen I ripped the incompetent hatchet job of Think Progress' "Faiz" on former FEMA director Michael Brown? South Park Pundit and Stephen Burr of Nothing Could be Finer keep on the pressure,picking up a fact I missed, and completed outing "Faiz" one of the most intellectually dishonest bloggers I've ever had the misfortune to run across.

Angry in the Great White North has picked up on the fact that the Eva Yawn of the Left Herself, Cindy Sheehan, has almost completed running through her son's life insurance money, and now has to get a job, which to her means really whoring her slander of her son's beliefs for cold, hard cash. I'll hold my bile... for now.

Speaking of bile, the Anchoress has her ire up (and rightly so) for GOP Senators giving Louisiana's governor a complete pass for her incompetent response to Hurricane Katrina.

I might be able to squeeze one more post in before I hit the great outdoors tomorrow night, but if not, I'll have something up Sunday. Till then surf the blogroll; and try to stay out of trouble, okay?

Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit raised the ire of eastern North Carolina piscatorial blogger Phin this morning with the following loathsome comment:

Here's some North Carolina pork -- though at least it hasn't been soaked in that vinegary stuff they call barbecue sauce.

Professor Reynolds, while a somewhat successful blogger and middling law professor at a forgotten backwoods university, is hardly fit to taste, much less judge, that sweetest delicacy that is eastern North Carolina pork barbeque. Being a magnanimous person, how ever, I will give him a chance to think over his hastily made statement.

So Professor Reynolds...

University of Tennessee Law School, as viewed from the CAF's "Fifi."

Do you care to "revise and extend" your comments?

I now have blog kids.

Perhaps not surprisingly, one is a politician (local). I'll let you try to figure out which one of the guys it is...
