+ Joyful Wandering -- 22 has begun at The Abundancetrek Blog.

+ Are the Republicans acting like a responsible political party?  The Conservative New York Times columnist David Brooks believes that they are not.  A week ago, he wrote a scathing column, "The Mother of All No-Brainers." Excerpt: "The struggles of the next few weeks are about what sort of party the G.O.P. is — a normal conservative party or an odd protest movement that has separated itself from normal governance, the normal rules of evidence and the ancient habits of our nation." Read it all.

+ The Red Sox kept their hold on first place for the All-Star break as they swept the Orioles this week-end.  Yankees took 2 out of 3 from Tampa Bay including a historic win when Derek Jeter got his 3000th hit with a homerun as well as a 5 for 5 day.  Wow!
