A quickie
Just a few things I wanted to link:
* Will you, or won’t you? (I didn’t, only because they called it an honor system. Dammit.)
* Where are all the damn Bonfire-worthy links for this week? I find it hard to believe only six people wrote crap over the last week, hurricane notwithstanding. I’m hosting on Wednesday, where the hell are you?
* Don’t forget tomorrow is Cotillion Day! This week’s hostesses are annika’s journal, Girl on the Right, Merri Musings, and Not a Desperate Housewife. Be there or else!
* Kyer says over at Mad Dog Vinnie’s place, “If you only check out one piece of wk?’s coverage of the Beslan anniversary, let this be it.“
* Roundup of Supreme Court blog chatter at SCOTUS Blog
* Another perspective on the size of Katrina
* Lance McMurray of Red State Rant is hitting the road for Mississippi to help out hurricane victims! (Now that’s definitely a Gray thing, wouldn’t you say?)
* Did you read Tribes yet? (Woof!)
* These guys know how to put aside partisan differences and work together to help those in need–will you help too?
* National Preparedness Month - Tip of the Day:
Dogs may be man’s best friend, but due to health regulations, most emergency shelters cannot house animals.
Find out in advance how to care for your pets and working animals when disaster strikes. Pets should not be left behind, but could be taken to a veterinary office, family member’s home or animal shelter during an emergency. Also be sure to store extra food and water for pets.
For more information, visit the Animal Safety section on http://www.redcross.org or visit the Humane Society Web site at www.hsus.org.
UPDATED to add this:
* Lt. General Russel Honore, affectionately known as the Ragin Cajun, served with Jo’s husband at Fort Hood. Read about him at Jo’s Cafe.
* WTF?
Good God, what is wrong with these people? Will they ever learn to see somebody else’s misfortune as something more than their political opportunity?

I can submit my whole damn blog for the Bonfire if you are desperate. I’ve been on a roll. Backing away from computer (but NOT deleting the damned blog this time) and going to effin bed! I’ve been sucked in AGAIN. But dammit, it’s fun and a great way to practice escapism late at night.

Beth, thank you for the links! I’m one of those bleeding heart idjits who’d stay behind with my dogs before I could dream of saving myself at their expense. There are apparently, MANY of us just like me when it comes to embracing our furry friends as one of the family. It’s great to see you’re not only alive and well, but sassy as EVER to boot ;-) Blog ON, my friend… and God Bless you and yours.

Um . . . shi’ite . . . I thought they were kidding. They were kidding, right? I didn’t really just delete their site, right?
Right?
ilyka says:
Why, those little . . . ! Just for scaring me like that, I went and deleted it all over again.
Tricksy bastards. Hmmpfh.
