The next edition of Carnival of the Liberals will be upon us soon and the deadline for submissions will be here even quicker. CotL #41 is at World Wide Webers this Wednesday, June 20th but you need to get your best liberal blogging to Karl Weber by midnight Eastern, Monday, June 18th. As always, thanks to everyone who has sent in their posts so far and for the rest, blogcarnival.com is your friend.
Don't forget that Zaius Nation will be hosting the July 4th edition of Carnival of the Liberals and he has a specific theme in mind -- defining patriotism -- so check out Dr. Zaius' post for all the details.
Continuing the patriotic theme, BlueGal & Co. will be doing another round of Blog Against Theocracy this Independence Day weekend too! Show your support for our first freedom by writing about how separation of church and state is patriotic. BlueGal's got the scoop at the BAT blog. Remember, BAT is about atheists and theists working together to support a Constitutional right that benefits everyone.
On a slightly off-topic note, Susan R. from Miss ELISA's World writes to let us know she's started a new site, Eureka Science, devoted to be a Q&A forum to "inform and educate the public about science without the distortion of the media or politics". The site's brand new but I think it's a great idea and we certainly wish her the best with this endeavour.
Finally, we still have plenty of hosting spots open this year. Why not volunteer by sending me an e-mail with your preferred date? Check the schedule for open slots.
