From the best of The Anchoress

The otherwise nameless creator and author of The Anchoress has taken off for a vacation in Ireland, accompanied by her husband and son. This is wonderful for her and them, of course, but sad and unfortunate for those of us who have to stay behind and endure several lonely weeks without any new posts on her blog. But she has left us a few morsels to chew on in her absence, in the form of a sort of "best-of" post, which features several previous efforts of hers that were well-received out in the blogosphere. This one particularly impressed me. It's about the vitality and energy of America, which she is obviously unembarrassed to proclaim to one and all. She is many things, but Politically Correct is obviously not one of them. Good for her, I say!
