Cornell University sponsors an “anti-God week.” Joseph Sabia objects:
All we are sure of is that liberals really hate the Religious Right. Whether they can actually define this mass “stealth” movement is irrelevant to them; what is important is that they defeat these wild-eyed Bible thumpers before they pray again! And, if there’s time on the clock, maybe knock around a few Jews and Catholics too.

Ith, who brings us Absinthe & Cookies, is masterminding a Gathering of the Blogs for Tartan Day:
Go over to Ith’s and let her know you want to participate.
Now, my family heritage may not be terribly Scottish. Or not Scottish at all — the ancestry on my Dad’s side traces back to Thomas Tupper, one of the founders of Sandwich, Mass. [actually, rather a lot farther back than that… 12th or 13th century Germany would appear to be where the family originated, but that’s another story], and on Mom’s side to the Netherlands. But I do nonetheless have an “in” for Tartan Day….
In 1896, for a period of a few months, Sir Charles Tupper was Prime Minister of Canada. He (along with the Tupper family) was granted a tartan by the monarch at the time, Queen Victoria.
OK, so the connection is tenuous… but I’m claiming it nonetheless.
I do have another association with Scotland, of course. That alone should qualify me to participate.
(Thanks to Blackfive for the pointer.)
