Here I am sitting home alone on Friday (still got a bit of a cough, and am taking it slow), so I decided to clean my carry guns. I haven’t gotten to a range in a long while, and I really need to get my game back on. Anyway, since it’s been a while, here are some links.
Rachel Lucas watches Bowling for Columbine so you don’t have to. God bless her.
Wouldn’t be fair to link to everything Emperor Misha I writes, so I’ll just link to his latest. “FDR lied; people died!”
Blackfive has a new salvo against the enemy, plus he has another awesome military story involving guns, Germans, and beer.
Harvey of Bad Money reports on an interesting conversation with White Glenn. Penguins, eh?
Newmanisms has a biography of Glenn Reynolds. Not as dry a read as I would expect.
The Texas Imperialist has found more evil of White Glenn.
Owen fisks Bob Herbert on his crappy multilateralist argument.
A new joke from Gil. All I can say is, “Oy.”
The Onion has a funny little parody here. I just love the mysterious candidate in the bottom right corner.
And here is one entry for the Blogger Alliance banner I missed because I was woefully unprepared for a .png file.
Maybe we can set up an official vote later at our headquarters.
Now I’m gonna get me another cup of OJ.
UPDATE: I’ve been lax on crediting who wrote which banner, but a lot of people like the one above so I want to make sure people know it was made by Sam of Unigolyn (our man in Estonia – it’s an actual country). None of the banners were made by me. While I do have some artistic skill, I am also lazy.
Absolutely far and away the best design.
I’ve got a problem with the text, though. There seems to be some confusion over the full name of the Alliance. Your original declaration was Blogging Alliance, but I’ve seen Blogger Alliance and Bloggers Alliance. I beseech you, fearless leader, to issue an official decree on the matter, so as to promote unity amongst your loyal followers.
Or you can decree that you really don’t care, as long as the word “Alliance” is in there somewhere. Your call.
I.D.E.

Sadly, I must report we have discovered that there is a place where common monkeys can be trained as jedi…this is a frightening turn of events:

i think we have a winner! i love it!
As long as the name can be split into two equal parts (i.e. BLOGGER | ALLIANCE or ALLIANCE OF | FREE BLOGS), it’ll fit with the design. Just waiting for word from Frank on the name.
This one definitely is a winner…very cool.
I like it too, but it needs to be shrunk a bit to go on asidebar. It’s very wide and seems more appropriate as a banner.
I’m on it.
Okay…
(That’s not the banner, just the seal)
Various versions (black/white backgrounds, left/right alignment depending on the location of your sidebar) can be found at http://unigolyn.com/alliance/.
They’s just for viewing purposes until Frank says differently, so don’t put ’em up on your sites yet.

What does Holiday Inn Towel Amnesty Day have to do with the Alliance? Cannon explains… Glenn knows the real reason White Glenn won’t link to him… Newman has a short biography of the Puppy Blender… Harvey’s revelations about Evil Glenn
Who Will Hire The A-Team?
In 2003, a crack blogging unit was started by several individuals on a blogging platform they didn’t design or like. These bloggers promptly escaped from a maximum bugged blogspot to the blogosphere underground. Today, still wanted by blogger.com, they…
From a heartless, faceless minion of the InstaSith, I’ve got to say: that’s one hell of a banner. Excellent.
I think the banner with the seal on the right on a white background (banner_right_whiteback) design is the niftiest of the lot. The seal on the white background (seal_whiteback) is stupendous. Some seriously good design work.
