Sunday Night's Odds and Sods

Another trip around the blogosphere--it's time for Sunday Night's Odds and Sods.

Blogger and novelist Pat Hickey of ...With Both Hands has put together how John McCain's exchange with that New York Times reporter--y'know, where he "lost" his temper...should have gone.

Speaking of McCain, I wasn't aware of this, but the senator will be traveling to Israel this week, as American Nonsense reports.

Fellow Pajamas Media blogger The Belmont Club has an accurate opinion about the current state of the Democratic Party:

This situation has come about because the Democratic party is no longer about principle but personality. Because 21st century liberalism is bereft of real ideas it has become vulnerable to the cult of personality. Ideology has now been demoted to rhetoric or talking points. Who really believes that either Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton are determined to preserve the national security of the United States? But anyone can readily see they are devoted to preserving the interests of themselves.

Growing up in the Nebraska Sandhills, Prairie Bluestem can speak from experience of what it's like to grow up without television--without being a senior citizen. It was very difficult to get decent TV reception--and herds of cattle aren't ever Nielsen families, unexplained popularity of many television shows notwithstanding.

Finding a radio station there isn't easy either. When I last drove through the Sandhills, in 2005, I pressed the scan button on my car radio--and it kept going....and going...and going.

And finally, the Chicago Cubs, who seem to love their stadium, Wrigley Field, more than they love their team--which hasn't won a World Series in 100 years--might play all of part of an upcoming season at US Cellular Field--where the White Sox play, as SportsbyBrooks tells us. The State of Illinois, amazingly and stupidly, might purchase Wrigley.

Cub fans I know constantly badger me with knocks against the Sox stadium. How will they feel about if the Cubs play there?

More Odds and Sods next Sunday.
