My Vast Right Wing Conspiracy (Beth) 2996 - Tribute to 9/11 Victims — “2996 is a project organized by D.C. Roe, to have 2996 bloggers (!) all posting a tribute to a 9/11 victim (names are assigned) on September 11, 2006–the five-year anniversary. Right now there are 1187 blogs signed up, and there’s just over a month to go.” [I've signed up and urge all bloggers to get involved. I'll have more on this endeavor later today. Jim]

Captain’s Quarters (Ed Morrissey) The True Purpose Of The Cease Fire — “At least one world leader has given an honest assessment of why an immediate cease fire should occur in the Hezbollah-Israeli conflict, now entering its fourth week. Oddly enough — or not — that world leader runs Iran:”

Dr. Sanity (Pat Santy) A CASE OF PREMATURE EVACUATION ? — “Got it? He wants a cease-fire now because he and his other thugs are not quite ready to completely destroy Israel right now. So he’s begging the world, please please get a ceasefire in place so as not to erode all their careful planning.”

Shortened a bit — School orientation this morning — More later.
