Here are a few good gems you might want to check out among the thousands of Townhall blogs.
If you are a Hugh Hewitt listener, you probably know about
Emmett of the Unblinking Eye. He posted last weekend's box office winners with some comments added. A nice quick movie guide if you are wondering what you missed at the cinema. Also, if you missed it on Friday, he has posted the
Top 10 Women Singers Acting Movies of All list.
For reasons that I'm still a little vague on, Mr. Hewitt was heck-bent
on having a list of the Top 10 Women Singers Acting Movies of All
Time. But, of course, he was a little vague as to what he exactly
meant. So the list, which appears below, was a mixture of women
singers acting and also singing, and women singers acting but not
singing.
The Blogatorium's #2 blog, Law, Lawyers, and Politics, has a post titled
The FEC Fined Swift Boats for Truth. I haven't heard anything about this story yet, so
Not Legal Roadkill Yet seems to have scoop on this story. We'll see what the networks have to say tomorrow. Today I learned that the Federal Election
Commission has determined that both Moveon.org and Swift Boat Veterans
for Truth should have been classified as Political Action Committees
and not as 527's, severely limiting the amount of funds they could
collect. The FEC fined four groups just over $600,000 total.
But, politics is not everything, and Sicken throws in his 2 cents on the basketball court brawl between the Knicks and Nuggets on his post,
The Last Straw. He's not a happy fan. Maybe these basketball players need to remember is that its not about them--its about the fans that provide the revenue. Well, thats my 2 cents.
Sicken:
Even before the
latest brawl on the basketball court between the Knicks and Nuggets I
decided that I would never pay another penny to attend a professional
game. Whether it is football, baseball or basketball, I made up my mind
that I would not contribute my money to a bunch of overpriced,
overrated punks. I’m sick and tired of being treated like a sucker by
the NFL, NBA and MLB.
I
love sports. I love to play them and I used to love watching them. I
grew up on great Yankee captains like Thurman Munson and Don Mattingly.
I idolized Michael Jordan. Walter Payton and Earl Campbell were the
greatest running backs I had ever seen. They were all great athletes,
good role models and decent men. Now, it sickens me just listening to a
few minutes of Sportscenter or anything else on ESPN for that matter.
Dad over at
Revie's Ramblings wonders if there is
a double standard at airports in regards to how they treat religions? Its a good question, considering past news of praying immans.
Today, while running around, I
heard Rush Limbaugh report on an airline that would not let an employee
bring a Bible with her on a flight into Saudi Arabia. Here we scream if
someone looks at us funny over something religious and an airline makes
rules banning religious icons on a flight. That makes no sense.
Christmas is here, and Sam reminisces at the
The Weedpatch Gazette about Christmas during World War II.
Those of us who recall Christmas during WWII know that metal toys were
scarce due to the war. In fact, many of us children at the time
contributed our metal toys for scrap drives. Naturally I don’t know
what girls were looking forward to, but one of the first things boys
were looking for after the war was cap and BB guns being made available
again.
If you are looking for a post to get you into the Christmas spirit, then
Granddad and Santa Claus is the post you need to read. If only we had more people like Sam's granddad!
Of course, I want to point out the two job openings we have here at Townhall. We are looking for
an experienced C#/ASP.NET developer and a
Graphic & Web Designer. If you are a fit, or if you know someone who might be interested, let them know!
Townhall.com is hiring an experienced C#/ASP.NET developer willing to
relocate to Richmond, VA. If you or anyone you know wants the chance to
work for the best conservative news & opinion site on the web,
please send me an email: chris.bower [at] townhall.com.
You can always find
more great stories at the Townhall Blogatorium, where every blog post published is displayed in the order it is saved. Also, if you are thinking about catching a flick this weekend, don't forget our
Books & Movies section, where we have been updating it on a weekly basis with
Michael Medved's movie reviews!
In case this is my last blog post before the holidays, Merry Christmas to all the great Townhall bloggers and readers. May the new year come full of blessings and joy.
