"Good stuff all around"

So says Jay, whose blog, The Radical Centrist (a longtime favorite of mine), is hosting this week's RINO Sightings Carnival.

Jay does a great job with all the posts; here are a few that stood out:

Dean Esmay has a very thoughtful post on commenters.

Tom Rants argues that abortion is worse than terrorism. I doubt most people would agree, and I don't think I need to write a long post explaining why. (A similar "numbers" argument could be made about cigarettes or even fast food.)

So Cal Lawyer has an interesting post about a lawyer who thinks he's entitled to collect damages because a book that he read contained lies. (Now why didn't I think of that? I've read a wealth of lies in my lifetime -- and I've nothing to show for it.)

Digger's Realm has a real sidesplitter: United States Army soldiers are apparently dressing up as Mexican soldiers so they can move aliens and drugs into the United States, and then presumably go to war against themselves. (It makes a lot of sense if you think Bush planted charges in the Twin Towers.)

j.d. at evolution is having an argument over thermodynamics with an emailer who believes man was created "6,000 years" ago. (I think jd won, except there's no real winning debates with people who confuse beliefs with facts.)

And speaking of inane arguments, Respectful Insolence takes on the illogic of a nameless woman who claims her unborn baby is "pro choice." (Talk about putting words in someone's mouth! Glad she's not my mom....)

One of the reasons I love the RINO carnivals is that whether you agree with the posts or not, they're usually interesting and polite. (Must have something to do with the way RINOs evolved....)

MORE: Digger has more on the outrageous border situation. Hudspeth County deputies and their families are now being threatened. Says Digger,

This has nothing to do with President Bush's weak policy regarding illegal aliens. This is homeland security and threats against people protecting us.

This is just an outrage!

Did I mention it's an outrage yet? Well it is!

I agree.

INCORRECT LINK: Your "j.d. at evolution" link goes to the Mexican story.
