Friday Saturday Sunday Ten

All apologies, folks. Friday was just too busy, and then the weekend ensued. But here’s the ten I intended to post on Friday. Some old, some new.

• Teacher, Teacher – Lauren delivers a rant on education that, in her words, is long overdue.
• Won’t You Be My Neighbor? – My post about moving to the burbs started a bit of a conversation, and Short Shrift took things in a interesting direction.
• Jesus Speaks – Through a post from the Progressive Blog Alliance. The message? “Cut it the hell out.” Best quote.
  

  Be good to everyone, but don’t think you’re more important than anyone else, or more valuable in the whole scheme of things, than any other living soul. If you insist on believing it, please leave my name out of it, and quit giving tacit approval to your government to continue it’s murderous ways. It reflects badly on you.

• More on the ‘Burbs – Some of us move there, and some of us don’t.
• Cave Blogs – I always suspected that cave drawings were the first blogs.
• The Red Pill, the Blue Pill, or the White Pill? – A glimpse into the mind of a soldier and the unseen cost of war.
  

  she says to me, you could always go back out there, man up and be a true soldier. bitch, i was there once and i need some FUCKING HELP before i can go back and see those things again. are you not comprehending this? do i need to spell it out for you? i fucking hate the fact that i’m required to kill evil people who are only evil because our president wills them to be.

• Filibuster, Faith & Fear – Bush says we shouldn’t fear faith. I might not, if more of the faithful thought like this.
• What I fear – And here why I fear at least some of the faithful.
• Timeline of Fear & Hatred – MeFi seems to have lost this post about a timeline of the anti-gay movement. Thank goodness for Google’s cache.
• What Really Happened – We already know there are three versions of any story: mine, yours, and the truth. This week we learned that it’s inconsequential if you’re right about the truth of the matter.
