What We're Blogging About on Independence Day
Newscoma enjoyed a night of face-to-face political conversation (an activity I've recently promoted), and laments the fact that, even as cool as blogging is, we bloggers miss out on some of the in-person advantages.
Compare and contrast two blogging Tennessee legislators, both Republican, as Rep. Susan Lynn posts a reasoned appeal for limited government, and Rep. Stacey Campfield takes it a little more down-home.
The Appalachian Scribe posted a patriotic photo accompanied by a brief reminder to remember those who've died for our freedoms. But Elrod, blogging at KnoxViews, gives us much more to think about than the standard fare, and invites us to consider those who have made freedom possible in other ways. Joe Powell concurs.
Egalia keeps up the pressure on the whole Scooter Libby sentence commutation thing.
Looking past the state line for a minute: Libertarian presidential candidate Steve Kubby made a special audio recording for the day.
Hamilton County Democratic Party chair John Bailes extols the aspect of being Americans first, and political party members second.
A.C. McCloud dutifully quotes three of our greatest early Presidents, but then gives us pause by noting that each was imperfect in preserving freedom.
There's a must-see music video posted at AlphaPatriot's place. What a riot! Hey, and I have a question for all the Hispanic-haters: doesn't "press 1 for English" coincide with "English First"?
Uncle's making Italian subs, and 10,000 Monkeys have been cooking since yesterday.
Aunt B. reminisces on playing a Neil Diamond record as a child. After all, isn't Neil Diamond one of the most American things you can think of?
Like many Americans, including those employed in the news media, Melissa Penry has to work today. So much for independence! Just about all of us are dependent on that paycheck.
Do you know where to find the obligatory Jimi Hendrix "Star-Spangled Banner" clip? Sean Braisted can help.
The inimitable Adam Groves has redesigned his Tennessee Politics Blog. Looks good, Adam.
More as I come across them...
