I’ll probably be playing catch-up today, if anything, since I haven’t blogged that much lately. I will add to this post if anything else catches my eye. So here we go…

1. Trent Telenko from Winds of Change says the Democrats will lose in the ‘04 presidential elections and provides a rather thorough analysis as proof. Lots of links to read through in this piece.

2. A journalist from L.A. recently started a blog of his own (last week this guy posted a leaked memo from the L.A. Times about liberal bias; yes, liberal bias - oh, say it ain’t so). Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Kevin Roderick.

3. Earlier this week, the folks at Samizdata examined a draft of the forthcoming European Union constitution - and weren’t very happy with what they found.

4. A lot of noise has been made about NYT reporter Rick Bragg, who was recently suspended for using unattributed copy from interns and freelancing stringers to compose his articles. Glenn Reynolds, Andrew Sullivan (scroll down) and Jeff Jarvis (to name a few) offer mucho commentary about this.

5. Before I forget, I must point out a certain blog to all of you: I have always enjoyed Dean Peters’s Heal Your Church Website, ‘cause Lord knows MY church’s website could use some work!

UPDATE: Numero Seis. Steve at Little Tiny Lies recently posted on the virtues (or lack thereof) of women and Connor Peterson, Laci Peterson’s unborn son - it seems like the mainstream press doesn’t know how to refer to him in their news stories (baby or fetus?). Both are good reads.

UPDATE: Nr. Sieben. This morning while surfing around the Net I caught wind of this commentary about President Bush’s bill that will raise the amount of money sent to Africa to help the fight against AIDs. Martin Roth offers a Christian perspective.

More later. If I feel like posting more later, that is.

Otherwise, it’s Friday. So unlike me, please detach thyself from the All-Knowing & Sometimes-Dysfunctional Apparatus known as the Computer and enjoy the weekend!
