Wednesday Night Linky Love

Mad props to Evan Kirchhoff, the blogger known to CONTROL as -179. He is on Steven Den Beste's new blogroll. This is the coolest thing that Cap'n Clueless does: He has a small blogroll full of somewhat obscure bloggers that he thinks deserves more attention. More people should do this; does the world really need four hundred thousand links to Instapundit?

On Michelle Catalano's blog I got into a bit of a comment war with Val Prieto. I checked out his blog anyway. Man, that guy hates Fidel Castro! That's a huge plus in my book. (Ever notice how the Left is all concerned -- in a self-congratulatory manner, natch -- about the plight of the poor and oppressed, but when a group of people actually resists Commie tyranny, suddenly the Left castigates them as plutocratic, ignorant, out-of-touch conservatives.) Prieto is having a tough time of it today, as his dog was lost for two days and then run over. Head over to his blog and say something nice.

Through Den Beste I found this post on cultural relativism by Miguel Centellas. A nice quote:

While I don't necessarily agree w/ Howard Zinn (the author of various "people's histories" books) on all matters, I agree w/ his recent statement in an NPR interview. If we judge cultures only by their own prevailing standards, then we must necessarily side w/ the oppressors and not w/ the oppressed.

One more link, to ESPN: It looks like the A's have made their "F*-ing A" trade, with about 24 hours to spare.
