Friday's Blogs from the Bog!

HANKY ALERT!

SEP 11 If you can't handle Hallmark commercials, don't read any farther. This post on the Washington Post by an Afghanistan vet living in New Orleans is about his best friend and Saints quarterback Drew Brees. It's definitely worth a read.

DREHER ON CHRISTIANS AND THE MIGRANT CRISIS

SEP 11 Blogger Rod Dreher offers this analysis of the migrant crisis and how Christians will react. It's an interesting read, including, as his posts often do, viewpoints of other writers and links to their posts.

CLANCY: IT'S PUT UP OR SHUT UP WEEK!

SEP 11 Columnist Clancy DuBos says this is the week that all the politicos who have been coyly avoiding questions that nobody is asking - we're looking at you, Georges - will have to put up or shut up. That's the great thing about qualifying time: speculation ends. Either you pay the fee and run, or you don't.

ASWELL: SP CHIEF GOING AFTER TROOP D

SEP 11 Blogger Tom Aswell takes a look at recent activity over at Troop D, where he says State Police Commander Mike Edmonson is bringing down the hammer on the Lake Charles troop. The entire troop is under internal investigation, Aswell reports. Yikes.

CHIHUAHUA VS. PIT BULL

SEP 11 Here's an amusing post on Washington Monthly that breaks down the advance analysis of Bobby Jindal's ankle-biting attack on Donald Trump Thursday. Ed Kilgore writes that it reminds him of a Chihuahua barking at a Pit Bull from behind a fence. No kidding - but at least Chihuahuas have some fans.
