I’m Not Doing Bad for a Four-Day-Old Blog…
Good notice on yesterday’s Virginia Tech piece, and a nod from R.S. McCain. Consolidating my blogs seems to be working out.
The New Virginia Tech Shooting is Not a Virginia Tech Shooting. UPDATE below

Christmas Music: Songs of Hate
The Byronic Man has a post typical of this kind of year: Christmas Songs You’d Like To Punch In Their Stupid Faces.
