Ridin' Herd on the Blogosphere is a periodic collection of links to other blogs. It isn't necessarily an endorsement of that position, just an indication that something is either well-written or news-worthy.
Roundin' Up the News is a bunch of links to news stories that are probably important, or at least interesting.
Progressive Faith's Progress is the part of this blog that centers around stories and/or essays concerning non-conservative faith in America (and sometimes elsewhere).

False Generosity and the Rhetoric of the Oppressed
If I say I’m not surprised that someone has turned Rev. Wright’s remarks into an attack on Barack Obama, I’d be lying. I’m also not surprised at Hillary Clinton’s response:
You know, you don’t choose your family, but you choose what church you want to attend. I spoke out against Don Imus. I gave a [...]
Ridin’ Judas’ Herd
NM Gov. Bill Richardson is Judas?
Spitzer-Swallows may have political taints. No jokes, please.
Matt Yglesias is worried about incompetence. I say he has nothing to fear. But, of course, the incompetent nit-wits running the insane asylum.

In his effort to be all-dumbasses [...]
The Last (and First) Person I Called A Nigger
Last week, I said I’d get back to this topic. It appears as if it is so straight-forward that it simply can’t be looked at directly. Or, alternately, there are a lot of stupid people saying stupid, emotion-laden things that they think passes for commentary on race. I encourage it - I’d [...]
Notes on Racism
So suddenly Barack Obama is black enough to answer for every black person that ever annoyed someone. Remember when he wasn’t black enough?
The NY Times has some poll numbers in reaction to Obama’s speech on race.

Top o’ the mornin’
Rev. Jeremiah Wright has his defenders - and they say he’s being lynched. But not to worry, Barack Obama will talk about race. Then all will be well with the world. Except for that other stuff.
The Federal Reserve bailout of Bear Stearns is raising some eyebrows, but President Bush says it’s a [...]
Missing Race Completely - and a Challenge
Robert Novak ventures out of his own bunghole long enough today to show that he’s about as dumb about race in America as he is on everything else. Need proof? Take a look:
Ferraro’s specific remarks were so impolitic that there is no chance they were designed by Clinton’s campaign.
and then [...]
Happy St. Patrick’s Day
Whatever. So why is there no fuss over St. Andrew’s Day? Or, more to the point, why not get it over with and just call it St. Anheuser-Busch Day?
