Niner Charlie sees leftie diatribes against Howard filling discount bins at bookshops.

Clayton Cramer blogs on why the oil prices are so high.
Tom Paine at Silent Running speculates about the next American Civil War.
Peter Schramm at No Left Turns explores a kooky election scenario.

Baldilocks blogs on why the Democratic Party will not apologise to black Americans.
Bill Roggio at A Fourth Rail gives a detailed account of the battle for the Sunni Triangle.
Reasonable Force writes about pro-life blogs.
Brain Shavings argues why Democrats must vote for Bush. And the Dipolomad argues why the American Jews have to do the same.
Peaktalk ponders a pre-emptive strike against Canada.
The tireless Masamune, who doesn't just write posts but essays, has a long an thoughtful one on the intellectual origins of anti-Americanism.

Rob at Fine? Why Fine? got married. Congrats on the new life adventure.
Tex the Pontificator writes about "theocrats for Bush": "Many people from the northeast seem uncomfortable with explicit religious expression.

In Europe, Greg at the Belgravia Dispatch notes just exactly how long we haven't heard from Osama.

The Kommentariat notes that commies had a bad day.
In Asia, Simon at Simon World reports from a presentation given in Hong Kong by John Zogby of Zogby polling "about the 4 million Christian Conservatives, the key factor in polling intention (and it's not what you think), differences between red and blue states, the Nader impact, the mistakes in both campaigns, the impact of blogs and internet and plenty more."
A Guy in Pajamas blogs about compulsory English lessons for the French.
In the Middle East, Iraq the Model notes that clerics are endorsing democracy.
Greyhawk from the Mudville Gazette observes Cowboys and Indians in the Wild East of Iraq.
Israellycool watches over the birth of another anti-Semitic conspiracy theory.
And please welcome this week's new kids on the blog: Aging Divas for Bush ("If the political spin is making you dizzy and you think theres more to the story, tune in here. Our goal is to report 'the facts' and in the process to help reelect President George W. Bush," say Gaye and Karyn); Foreigners for Bush ("My Bush-Cheney '04 lawn sign -- with a Canadian flag beside it"); and "Macroscope ("politics, culture and current events from an aggregate point of view").
As always, go and check out Homespun Bloggers - and if you're a blogger yourself, as many of my readers seem to be, why not join the jolly crew?
