It’s Sunday again so again it is my turn to do Round the Reader. For those who are coming here looking for it, geez people have some patience. And please no more hate email otherwise I’ll never write it today. Please enjoy.

President Bush is set to finally make the trip to the Boy Scout National Jamboree. Really Mr. President, don’t you think you’ve done enough? Bush is already causing increased hurricane strength so to assume he cannot control the weather is not accurate. Heh.

Ok, but I have a serious side too and on to some serious news. I finally corrected the link to American Dinosaur. It was on my to-do list for a couple of days, but the harassment made me put it off. No, Rick, it’s not just you.

Even though this is probably the last thing I should say on this site, because you never know who is reading, my step-sister is getting married this October which I do wish her the best of course. However, the wedding is not your traditional wedding and instead will be an Indian style wedding. Her fiance is not Indian so I really don’t know why this is to be the case. While there’s nothing wrong with this style of a wedding, my knowledge of what to do or how to act at one of these weddings is elementary at best. Anyone who knows me realizes I’ll be a fish out of water. The dress is casual, which for me means shorts and sandals, but for a wedding I assume that means just short of a coat a tie.

The dress code is of no problem to me as I do dress up on occassion, but there is a distinct difference between what a man calls wedding casual and what a woman calls wedding casual. For that matter there is a huge difference between male business casual and woman business casual. Women can get away with t-shirts at the office by calling them blouses but if a man pulled that charade, they would be sent home. If anyone can shed some light into why I’d be forever obliged.

On the topic of attire, Beth, the answer is no. Banning short skirts on women is a very bad idea. I think 90 percent of men agree with me on this point. Eh comrades?

I must admit I feel a little left out. My summer camps were never like this one. I don’t even recall learning songs, but then again I never sing unless I’m in my car with the windows rolled up. I try to spare those around me the best I can.

Radical Islamic sites are getting taken down on the web. MI5 seems to have a hand in it, but what about alert readers who understand that when jihadis sign up on free webhosting accounts they can and do alert the provider to take them down? I’ve done so and thus far I do not work for MI5. One of the more popular jihadi sympathiser forums was down for a while, but it’s back up now.

An interesting picture has been posted on a similar jihadi site. While I do not read Arabic, a picture can tell 1,000 words. This one though tells six words; ‘World domination is what we want.’ Hey, whoever knew the United States and Iran were cooperating in Iraq?

The Air America scam seems to be hitting new depths of depravity. You all know Air America from their five listeners. Well, it appears they have taken money from kids and put it into . . . Al Franken’s ego?

Speaking of strange reactions on the Left, does anyone know what President *shudders* Jimmy Carter thinks he is doing? Carter decries attrocities at Guantanamo. You know, those attrocities which have been debunked. Why? New Spew thinks he is senile. I don’t think he’s senile. I just think he’s Jimmy Carter and when he’s not certifying elections for dictators or building houses, he’s castigating the United States. He is an embarassment. I suspect we’ll see his mug on a new Al Qaida recruiting video soon.

Democratic Senator Chris Dodd says John Bolton is ‘damaged goods‘ if President Bush gives him a recess appointment. Well, here’s a brain twister. Why doesn’t Dodd tell his colleageues not to filibuster Bolton and then the Senate could vote on him? You see, that’s why I’m not a politician.

Andi asks where the outrage is concerning abuses in Iranian prisons. Andi, Andi, Andi. If I’ve told you once, I’ve told you 1,000 times. Iran is small potatoes to the United States. It makes better copy to talk about a Guantanamo Bay detainee ripping up the Koran and blaming it on a MP. There’s roughly 30 percent of Congress who support such stories so why would the MSM venture elsewhere?

Thus concludes the Round the Reader. As always, I cannot link every post or article I find interesting and I do encourage my readers to visit the other Round the Reader blogs (located on the right sidebar) for this segment daily. Thank you for reading and thank you for continuing to give me a place to ramble on.
