Around The Blogs 2014-06-15

Here's the rest of the 'Around The Blogs' post I began last night.

At PJ Media, David Solway asks "Is America on the brink of economic and social collapse?"  All I can say is, if the current Administration continues on its present reckless, lawless and incontinent course, we may well be . . .

# # #

CenTexTim brings us "The Most Important Taco Of The Day".  I felt my arteries harden as I looked at it!




He also mentions the story I also reported a few days ago, about Bill Watterson contributing to another cartoon strip, and in the process links to a short story on Reddit titled 'In the final minutes of his life, Calvin has one last talk with Hobbes'.  It's a tear-jerker, but rather well done.  I enjoyed it.

In her latest weekly column at Mad Genius Club, Kate Paulk links to a very funny article titled '20 Actual Quotes From English Exam Essays'.  My favorite:

"The hailstones leaped from the pavement, just like maggots when you fry them in hot grease."

Say what???

# # #

Mike Miles (site frequently NSFW) provides an interesting series of graphics depicting 'Rhetological Fallacies'.  Useful stuff for those who get into a lot of arguments, both to point out their errors to your opponents, and to avoid making the same mistakes yourself!

# # #

The Outrider shows what 'making it' in the USA is all about.

# # #

MSgt B. runs out of middle fingers, and explains what really happens if you shoot for the moon - and miss.

# # #

The Lonely Libertarian allows Schrodinger's Cat to have her say.

(The fact that our cat chose the moment I started to type the above sentence to jump into my lap and disrupt my train of thought was entirely serendipitous . . . )

On a more sober note, Rev. Donald Sensing links to a very interesting article titled 'Sexual Immorality and Five Other Reasons People Reject Christianity'.  It's a good article, but I think it doesn't sufficiently emphasize one of the most important reasons of all:  that most Christians (sadly including myself) generally don't set a sufficiently Christian example of how to live.  If we 'walked the walk', I think we'd be a lot more convincing when we 'talked the talk' . . .

Finally, Rev. Paul made me smile with two articles:  'The Wisdom Of Phyllis Diller' and 'The Biblical Farside'.  I hadn't come across the latter before.  Here's one that I particularly liked.

There are many more at the link.  Enjoy!

That's all for this two-day bumper edition of 'Around The Blogs'.  More soon!
