Things you may have missed over the long weekend

Early last week I started a fundraising drive and also alerted readers to the opportunity to help this blog by shopping online via Amazon, Target and the other stores on the Shopping Page.  I appreciate the support of readers.

In case you were in a Turkey-induced stupor, you may have missed:

• Remembering Mike Spann, the first American killed in the Afghan war.  There’s also a link in the post to the CIA Officers fund to help the children of mostly anonymous  CIA Officers killed in action.
• A story about the Bravest teacher in Wisconsin, who appears in an anti-recall TV ad.
• From the “you can’t make this stuff up” category, The demented Israeli “pinkwashing” charge.
• Some commentary on commenting, Dissent is patriotic, but trolling is not.
• More on assaults on female reporters in Egypt, It could happen anywhere, but it keeps happening there.
• Is Jeremiah Wright back on the table?
• Comedy Gold – Abbott and Costello on Immigration
