If it wasn’t for coffee, I’d have no discernible personality at all. ~ David Letterman

Really folks, you’ve gotta find me some new coffee quotes! Send them to lakelandjim at gmail dot com. Thanks.

TMS’s Bacon Bits (The MaryHunter) The “Secure America” Pledge — “Frank Gaffney, Jr., president of the Center for Security Policy and regular Washington Times columnist, writes about a compelling, immigration-related “Secure America” pledge that his organization has proposed.” [I'll have much more on this later. Jim]

In the Bullpen (Chad Evans) The New Jihad — “Nearly five years after 9/11, there can be considerable debate whether or not radical Islam as an ideology has grown. I believe it has, but the measure of whether or not the ideology has spawned future terrorists is not known. What is known is that jihadis using the Internet to disseminate their ideology has grown and grown at a rather alarming rate.”

Right Wing News (John Hawkins) How To Turn The Illegal Immigration Issue Into A Huge Winner For The GOP In 2006 — “If the GOP were united on illegal immigration, we could beat the Democrats brains out politically on the issue. Just look at the backlash that’s being created by these incredibly obnoxious illegal immigrant rallies.”

The Jawa Report (Dr. Rusty Shackleford) Islamists Post Hit List of ‘Apostates’ — “An Egyptian group calling itself the “al-Jama’ah Consultative Council” has sent an e-mail hit list to people deemed ‘apostates’ yesterday. The group warned that those people on the list who had left the faith would have three days (as of yesterday) to repent or they would be killed.”

Confederate Yankee Well, the Smell is Certainly Biological… — “The Washington Post, which within the past week blasted President Bush for declassifying a story to defend false allegations by Joe Wilson, collected classified information of its own through anonymous sources and leaked it on page one Wednesday.”

Blogs for Bush (Matt Margolis) Note About The Blogroll — “For those of you who have submitted their blog to the Blogroll for Bush but haven’t seen themselves appear on the blogroll yet, I hope go through all the blogroll requests this weekend and get the blogroll up to date. My apologies for the delay.” [Thanks Matt. Jim]
