Random links of interest, concern or curiosity from the past week or so, that deserve at least a SHORT mention:

 
Most Americans Still Believe in Traditional Marriage, Poll Shows ~ When the polling is honest, the results are more truthful. (The earlier Washington Post-ABC poll implied that same-sex couples would be arrested for entering into a gay marriage.)
 
The Flotilla is coming, the Flotilla is coming ~ “Bad enough that Israel is surrounded by twenty-two hostile Arab countries plus a genocidally anti-Jewish and anti-Israeli Iran, a country which has positioned soldiers in Lebanon, Gaza, and Syria.” But now another “Flotilla of Fools” is getting ready to set sail to “break the Israeli blockade of Gaza.” Good grief.
Elder of Zion has more Gaza Flotilla II updates.
 
Speaking of floating… Meet the man who’s re-creating Noah’s Ark ~ Story and video of a Netherlands man who’s re-creating the Ark to scale. Pretty amazing. (Just ignore the bit about the Oracle Gore’s predictions.)
 
Sarah Palin – America’s Deborah ~ Very interesting theory/analogy by the Ignorant Fisherman. Could it be true? Or do I just really wish it’s true?
 
A Patriotic Week Celebration ~ Heading off to this event in Highland, Michigan today. Sounds like fun!
