Some of my favorite …

Some of my favorite posts from this week’s Carnival of the Vanities:

• “Commentariat” notes why liberals don’t really understand the idea of Bush’s faith-based initiatives. Actually it has far less to do with them being “faith-based”, and more to do with the idea that if the private sector (faith-based or otherwise) can help the poor better and more efficiently, why should we replace them with a bloated, inefficient government program?
• A thoughtful treatment of religion v. politics by homicidalmaniak.
• The SmarterCop fisks the Democratic presidential candidates as they react to David Kay’s WMD report.
• Those candidates could learn a few things at Libertyblog, where those erroneous conclusions could be corrected.
• Joe Kelley, just for the sake of argument, suggests that, in line with Nashville schools doing away with the honor roll because of self-esteem issues, we should forget about voting or playing the Super Bowl or counting a blog’s incoming links or successfully reaching Mars or paying anyone more money than somebody else. After all, in all those cases, somebody succeeds and somebody doesn’t.
• Walloworld has some very good insights into whether or not the Internet is becoming an echo chamber.
