I’ve gotten behind in cultivating my blogroll, so here’s some much-needed planting and pruning:
Additions
Subtractions
If you hadn’t heard, Mickey Kaus resigned from the Daily Caller over them spiking a piece that slammed Fox News for supporting illegal alien amnesty.
Kaus is now blogging at his own site http://kausfiles.com/.
Update your bookmarks accordingly.

Since they linked to me yesterday, I’ve finally done what I’ve meant to do for a long time, namely get up off my ass and add Pension Tsunami to the Blogroll. They offer a great daily news roundup on the looming unionized public sector pension crisis that threatens to bankrupt cities and states across the country (especially California).
I’ve also added the new “California/Pensions/Unions/Etc.” link category and moved Kausfiles there as well.
Expect more additions to that blog category Real Soon Now.
It’s a new year, so here are a few long-overdue administrative updates to the blogroll.
Other notes:
Any Texas blogs I’m missing you think should be up here?
This list of conservative blogs in Texas is well worth taking a look at. For starters, I’m in there, which means it passes the first-cut test.
I hope to take a good look at all of these when I have some time with an eye toward updating the blogroll.
OK. Thanksgiving break over.
I’ve come across a couple of blogs from the world of international conflict you may want to take a look at:
Both are worth checking out.
For some reason, I feel a lot more braindead than usual after a one hour bike ride, so today seems like an excellent day to perform that long-contemplated update of the blogroll.
Today’s additions:
Finally, please note that Blue Dot Blues has moved.
The latest blogroll addition is UrbanGrounds written by Robbie Cooper, “a conservative, a biker, a Veteran, a professional writer, and a blogging enthusiast in the heart of uber-Liberal Austin, TX.” It has a nice mix of local and national news that’s well worth checking out.
A handful of links you may find of interest:
CHL carriers get an express lane through Texas State Capitol Security. This is a testament to how effective the CHL program has been.
Catholic Bishop killed in Turkey.
George Will on the conflict between the limited government of the founders and Progressivism’s vision of unlimited government power to meet an ever-expanding array of material “needs.”
Victor David Hanson on Europeans waking up to History returning to Europe, “from Mediterranean insolvency, to the threat of radical Islam, to demographic decline, to new international dangers on the horizon.” But I’m guessing Europeans will hit the snooze button a few more times before they will bother to rouse themselves from their slumber. And by then it may be too late.
A statement of the obvious, sure to infuriate those on the left: “The U.S. can’t afford to provide everyone with food, clothing and shelter, not to mention medical and child care, college tuition, a low-interest mortgage and a Social Security check until death.”
