October 10, 2005Bombs and Birds and Baldi and BethThese bombs appearing on college campuses are cause for real alarm, particularly since we don’t even know how many are serious “terrorist” events and how many or sick “copycat” situations. Really, there is not distinction. Planting bombs, whether you attach them to a creed or an ideology or not, is still terrorism. Michelle Malkin has an (not surprising) excellent round-up on the story of the Georgia Tech find, and lots of links. I hadn’t realized that there was a bomb found at UCLA last Friday, as reported by Prof. Bainbridge. Dr. Sanity has some thoughts on this, and links to an essay that for her illustrates just hwo woebegon our campuses of higher ed have become. Scroll down to her next piece, too, on CBS and its notion of balance, something that Baldilocks is also wondering about. AJ Strata is looking at whether or not AlQ is “after our children,” and he is marvelling, like me, at how fast Michelle Malkin is. Am I the only one who remembers this - help me out, here - I seem to recall hearing/reading right after 9/11 that AlQ said they wanted to target our kids in their schools. Anyone else remember that? Shawn Wesson is suggesting that maybe…just maybe…the avian flu mania is a little hyped up. Think she might have a point! Beth has a newly designed, must less floried site at My Vast Right Wing Conspiracy. Much easier on the eyes, but it needs to be girlied up a little…just a tad? Same old intrepid Beth, though! Two bloggers who seem to be firing on all cylanders today and so they deserve the “Just Keep Scrolling” advice: Ed Driscoll and Don Singleton. Victoria has a very smart piece up, as well - all about DaVinci Code, Angels, Demons, Art, Perception and Cultuer. It’s a really good and surprising read. Finally….Lileks. I love him. I wish I could write like him. Read this and giggle and laugh and think…you’ll wish you wrote like him, too. http://theanchoressonline.com/2005/10/10/bombs-and-birds-and-baldi-and-beth/trackback/ 4 Responses to “Bombs and Birds and Baldi and Beth” |

Thanks, sweetie! It’s just a plain ‘ol generic WordPress theme, just because I got tired of the site loading issues. You can still switch back to one of the pretty ones if you want, though!
Sadie’s making me a brand-spankin’ new one as we speak, so the Boring Blue is there until then. Glad you find it easier to read though!

Thanks for the Anchoresslanche!
Glad you enjoyed it, as I shall be expanding on the theme in a forthcoming Conspiracy Theories blogpost.
And don’t let the Blogorabble get you down.
Cheers,
Victoria

There’s that, Newton. But since many of the bombs were not called in, and they were not near any classrooms (such as the UCLA bombs which were located OFF-CAMPUS in a housing complex), I think it’s safe to assume the kids aren’t trying to duck a Physics exam this time.
Cheers,
