Children's librarians are of two minds about series fiction. Some regard most of them as ho-hum, pedestrian little novels which have the virtue of luring the lazy or timid reader with their familiar characters and plot lines. But then there are the BIG series, Narnia by C.S. Lewis, Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien, even the Misty books by ... [Link]

Democratic Vice Presidential nominee Joe Biden, in his own words, on gun owners:Apparently, Average Joe believes either 1) that all gun owners have mental issues or 2) that he can diagnose the questioner as mentally ill using his experience as a medical doctor and based on a video clip under thirty seconds in length.That's the kind of deep thought America ...

The Directors of RedState - who, much like Reagan's "Big Tent" GOP, are all Republicans but do not come close to being cut from the same ideological cloth - penned a letter to John McCain on Wednesday afternoon asking him to select Rep. Eric Cantor from Virginia as his Vice Presidential nominee.Coming from a power like RedState, this is a ... [Link]

Yes, football season kicks off tonight. Our game's not for four more days, but there's plenty of scouting of upcoming opponents to keep us busy until then. Yes, you can tell your wife it's scouting. This is serious business we're conducting here. With pizza and bevs. The Alabama-Clemson game has the added benefit of actually (probably) being a good game ... [Link]

Brian's Blog » It Appears to be Confirmed that Obama Kissed Jill Biden on the Lips
Posted 4 hours ago
As we posted here 25 minutes ago. I was watching CSPAN and when Obama surprisingly appeared on stage Obama kissed Jill Biden squarely on the lips. For the record she ran backstage until she had the whole Biden family. Big Joe should have slugged Obama right then, right there. He should have defended his wife's honor.Here is what other bloggers ... [Link]

Obama just couldn't let Joe Biden have all the spotlight tonight. And if my eyes were not deceiving me it appeared that Obama kissed Mrs. Biden right on the lips. I am sure the instant replay and still photographs will prove me tight or wrong. But down here in the South that just ain't right, Obama.Did you see the shocked ... [Link]

THE L.A. TIMES on the McCain campaign's rapid-response program. I expect the Obama campaign will do the same thing next week during the Republican convention. The McCain campaign hasn't been sending me this stuff, though -- I've had to go to The Corner to find it. Obama campaign folks -- next week, feel free to send your responses directly! [Link]

MATT WELCH ON THE DEMOCRATS' new hawkish foreign policy. "You'd think that such a disconnect between anti-war base and pro-interventionist leadership would cause a few brains to explode, but the only people who seem to be hearing the dissonance in Denver are journalists. . . . This is not necessarily change that war-weary Obama supporters can believe in, and in ... [Link]

Nice eyewitness account from NRO's Mark Hemmingway regarding how unbiased the morons media are towards Barrack Obama.I'm usually not one to resort to name-calling, but my position is that the media started it. They have to believe that Americans are fools to take the garbage they spew packaged as "news" and then accept their expressions of shock and insult when ... [Link]

CNN's analysts seem to be divided (confused, perhaps?) regarding Joe Biden's speech Wednesday night at the Democratic National Convention.Jim Geraghty, who doesn't suffer from wishy-washy analytical paralysis, writes over at National Review that Biden blew it big time. I wasn't impressed; it reminded me of the efforts of someone who couldn't break the 2% barrier of support in Iowa after ... [Link]
