After all that focus on the Obamination Coronation Dance, you definitely need a break. Before we get to Van Halen, however, there is a must-read from Michael Totten on the Soviet Russian attempt to reabsorb Georgia…
- Ed Driscoll saw something very familiar about the McCain 3AM ad. Yep; he cut it back in March.
- John Hawkins polled 67 of us right-of-center bloggers, including Shoebox and me, on our thoughts about potential VP picks for John McCain. I do recommend you read the other 64 blogs that had at least one contributor participate (there’s another blog who had multiple contributors respond).
- RNC Platform, One Step Forward… – Stephen Spuriell (the source for this series unless otherwise noted) reports Drill Here, Drill Now is part of the platform.
- …RNC Platform, One Step Back… – reopening previously-closed resources is off the table because calling for the reopening of the Utah coal reserves would have also reopened ANWR.
- …RNC Platform, One Step Forward… – The “Environmental Protection” portion lost the Gorebal “Warming” portion of its title.
- …RNC Platform, One Step Back… – Sean M. found a portion blaming us eeeeeeevil conservatives for Gorebal “Warming” still in there.
- …RNC Platform, One Step Forward… – Stephen Spuriell found a lack of corn-a-hole mandates.
- …RNC Platform, One Step Back… – the support on the ban of Internet gambling was put back in. As an inveterate gambler, it stinks that I have to go to Vegas to cure my NFL itch (reminder, I’ll be picking every NFL game against the spread again this year and defending my over-.500 record).
- LBG calls for equal treatment of Elizabeth Edwards vis-a-vis Hillary Clinton.
- The Conspiratorial Chris has a contrarian view on presstitute bias; it helps Republicans. Can’t say I agree; they’ll do their best to keep Barack Obama’s flaws buried until after November.
- Teresa notes that even a moderate like Joe Scarborough is unacceptable at the Official Network of the Obamination, MSNBC.
- Bill Quick likes the tune of the death-spiraling finances of New York Times.
- Lawhawk focuses on the politics of the 3 Dems who joined the Gang of
1016 on “drilling”. The ‘Rats need the issue to go away; it won’t until energy supplies increase dramatically. - Mark Heuring wonders why Norm Coleman signed on, espeically since one of the aforementioned ‘Rats (Ken Salazar-CO) infamously declared he wouldn’t drill even if gas hit $10/gallon.
- Lady Logician found that denial is a drill in the hands of Nancy Pelosi.
- Dad29 notes a potential problem in Iraq – a return to tribalism.
- Lemur King has the good medical news of the day – a former Israeli paratrooper who has been paralyzed for the last 20 years is walking again thanks to a powered exoskeleton.
- Kate reports the LPGA remembered which country they’re in and will require its members to speak English.
I will not be live-blogging the Brotherhood of NO…er, Democratic National Convention (motto – “One Vision, One Purpose”) again tonight; I will be at a debate between Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Menomonee Falls) and primary challenger Jim Burkee (the surviving half of the “college professor bipartisan tag-team” challenge) moderated by Owen of Boots and Sabers (in my humble opinion, the premier blog of the Cheddarsphere). I should have audio from that sometime tonight.
