Number One Thirteen.
Why on earth is a foodie hosting this wordie event?
Because man does not live by bread alone. Yep, that's poor, but by golly, it's true. I'm one of those bloggers who wants everybody to meet my friends. I've got all these blogs and a bunch of different people reading different blogs. I figure it's about as cool as it can possibly be to present variety at its best!
Do we love blogs and bloggers? Oh, yes, we certainly do!
We've got just a list here; no theme or wry bon mots. Please go and read our buds; that's what this event is all about. Copied and pasted in order recieved. Thanks for your cooperation in this not-quite-stylish event; my dad died and I've got a funeral home appointment later today.

Affirmative Action VII: Sidebar on Reparations
This post interrupts a series on affirmative action to
consider an argument for reparations based on slavery from Bernard
Boxill but based entirely on Locekan principles. The argument seems
to go through even on the assumptions of politically conservative and
moderate black thinkers such Thomas Sowell and John McWhorter, once a
couple of objections are dealt with, but the kind of reparations
required required by the argument need not be much more than many
people (including McWorter) already want to do on other grounds.

Canadian Sewage
For those of you heading to Canada, here's something for your to-do list...get Canada to stop dumping raw sewage into its rivers, lakes, and oceans. The Victoria BC area alone dumps over 26 million gallons of raw sewage into the Pacific Ocean each day; it's a supposedly modern city that lacks a sewage treatment plant. Victoria screens the sewage to keep the bigger solids (from grit to man-made things) out of the water, and it makes industrial activities like dry cleaners capture their hazardous wastes on site...

Is Bush Duty-Bound To Reach Out To Black Voters?
A black liberal columnist implies that if Bush doesn't pander to blacks with "black issues", he's shirking his duty to "serve all." The columnist is wrong, of
course, and I tell him why.

America and Terrorism
One of the unique things about the United States is its lack of groups that
commit terrorist acts that disrupt our lives. We have our Eric Rudolphs and
Ted Kuzinskis, and our SDS and ALF. But they don't capture the notice that
groups in smaller First World countries do. Maybe it's because we are such a
large country. In part, it's because we don't have any serious separatist
movements. And, in great measure, it's because we routinely accept a level
of violence that would not be tolerated in other nations and would be called
terrorism by them.

"How?" by Josh Cohen of www.d-42.com In response to an entry about how a young man didn't know what to do with his hands during sex, I lament a gaping hole in school-run sex education.
See that you're listed as hosting Carnival of the Vanities....so here's an entry:

Does Moving Toward a Safer World Count?
When I was a child, I was often told that "virtue is its own reward." I can't say that I acted much on that as a child, but the saying has a point that came to mind when I saw the headline of Chirac's admonishment to Blair. Chirac announced that Blair has gained nothing by supporting Bush, apparently wanting to influence British opinion against Blair.
The Gleeful Extremist slams Jacques Chirac for denigrating England's support of the U.S.
Finally, from your hostess: my dad's obit at the DesertLight Journal. He taught me to love and respect men; which is why I work so hard in fighting the feminists and their campaign to make men second-class citizens. Our fathers, brothers, and sons are worthwhile human beings that don't deserve the abuse they get in media, courts, and human services.
Blog on!
