So much to tell you about tonight...let's get right to this evening's Sift...
A- We all scream for ice cream! MenuPages Blog: South Florida has the details on Ben & Jerry's free cone give-a-way tomorrow.
B- Random Pixels doesn't like Dave Barry. Can you tell?
C- Critical Miami finally decides to dive into the Christian license plate debate that has been around the blogosphere for a week or two now. Check out the comments.
D- Coconut Grove Grapevine took a few photos at The Little Art and Antique Car Show this weekend in the Grove.
E- The South Florida Fan Blog wraps up the SoFla's sports blogs thoughts on this weekend's draft results and links to other relevant sports bloggers for a nice comprehensive post.
F- Justice Building Blog says the judges are suspiciously nice around the Justice Building these days.
G- Reidblog gives us some extracts from a recent editorial written by a former undersecretary of the Reagan Administration about Obama's former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright...
... Some of the Wright's comments are inexcusable and inappropriate and should be condemned, but in calling him "unpatriotic," let us not forget that this is a man who gave up six of the most productive years of his life to serve his country.
How many of Wright's detractors, Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly to name but a few, volunteered for service, and did so under the often tumultuous circumstances of a newly integrated armed forces and a society in the midst of a civil rights struggle? Not many.
While words do count, so do actions.
Let us not forget that, for whatever Rev. Wright may have said over the last 30 years, he has demonstrated his patriotism.
H- Miami Downtown Life leaned out her window this weekend and captured a few photos of some filming that was being done on the street below.
I- Owenized visits Mark Soyka's newest restaurant called The News Lounge opening soon at 55 and Biscayne.
J- Before going to get your free ice cream cone at Ben & Jerry's tomorrow, make sure you stop by Piola where, as the Chowfather tells us, you can get all-you-can-eat gnocchi for one low price.

So Rev. Wright was a Marine? So was Lee Harvey Oswald and Tim McVeigh served in the military too.
so were they patriots too?
Senor: Please remove your brain from the conservative brew it is soaking in and listen to what the writer is saying versus what you want him to say.
Wright is not a patriot. And the author is not saying that. What he is saying is that if have to consider everything that the man has done in his life.
It would be like me pointing at Dick Cheney and claiming that since he never served in the military, he must be unpatriotic without ever considering everything else Cheney may have done in his life.
You'll never see it that way because you have an agenda and everyone knows that.
But I though I would at least help you understand a little better.
Now, go ahead and say it's the Dems fault. I know THAT is coming.
