Bear Flag Rally Day

Let's see what's up with my fellow Bear Flaggers! In reverse order!

Xrlq has a brilliant fisking of some Texas Democrat whining about our anti-Democratic recall election. Well, I guess it is anti-Democratic-Party, at that. In the process, Xrlq puntastically links to every Bear Flagger; I'm quite impressed!

Tone Cluster says that President Bush and Prime Minister Blair have been spewing a lot of hot air over the Iraq situation and the war on terror. He's the one who sounds confused, to me. Also, he doesn't link to me yet.

So Cal Lawyer has some musings on the California recall, the Nevada budget debacle, and how they relate. Just on general principle, I think it would be a net gain if every single elected official in the country were recalled and banned from holding future office.

PresoPundit rightly criticizes President Bush's anti-free-trade policies. Congratulations on the new baby, as well! Now link to me, or else.

Pathetic Earthlings disparages the Democrats' plan to not run anyone in the recall election (except for Davis). I agree, it won't work. And I don't think they'll be able to stick with this plan, anyway.

Howard Owens explains the difference between racism and reality in baseball. Apparently, some players of all races don't really start showing their true worth until their college years. Howard really needs to update his Bear Flag League listing; he's only got 5 members!

Molly is stoked that she can earn a 15% mileage bonus if she transfers her American Express Rewards points to a Delta Miles account. Can't find the Bear Flag on her site.

Master of None is up to his usual billiance with a new color scheme for night hours.

Lex Communis is apparently having Blogger problems. Switch to MT. Do it. Now.

Gaggle of Gals implores you to donate money to buy ambulance. Apparently, there's a Blogathon in progress. No link to me yet.

Claire says that drugs in other countries are cheap because their governments force prices down by law. If our Congress allows us to "re-import" drugs into America for those cheaper prices, we'll undercut the existing price-structure that drives innovation in the drug industry. That's a tricky issue.

Daily Pundit's Bill Quick points out to libertarians that although foreign wars and "nation building" cost money, libertarians have to live in the real world. When we're attacked, we have to fight back and destroy those who seek to do us harm. Also doesn't link to me.

California Republic doesn't have permalinks, but there's a link to a post on Shark Blog about Nancy Pelosi's ongoing efforts to subvert freedom and liberty. CRO doesn't link to me yet, for shame.

CalBlog's Justene belives Bush, even though she isn't noted for her loyalty to presidents. She voted for Clinton, so that's understandable. I think her gut feeling lines up with most of middle America: Bush just seems trustworthy.

The Angry Clam thinks that people born in the US shouldn't be given automatic citizenship if their parents aren't citizens. That's a bit of a doozy, but I do agree that illegal immigrants shouldn't be getting kidney-transplants on my dime. Lastly, no link to me.

Whew, that's a lot of typing. It's nice to see there are some (mostly) sensible conservatives here in the Golden State.
