I wrote, on my site, the following:

I like this kind of thing that Cobb has put up on his site:

100 Things I Love About America

No heavy lifting; just a list. You can wander down it at your leisure, decide whether you agree or disagree (although it's his list, so there isn't much point to disagreement; if you want, you can make up your own list, or simply replace some of the items on his list with others you like more, or whatever), and be pleased that you at least know, or know of, most of the items on his list.

Just a list.

For fun.

Every now and again.

Not a bad idea.

I tried to trackback and was rejected because of questionable content.

Hmmmmmmmmmm.
