No Runny Eggs

The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

The Morning Scramble/Open Thread Thursday – 9/4/2008

by @ 9:48 on September 4, 2008. Filed under Open Thread Thursday, The Morning Scramble.

It may be Thursday, but the NFL season starts tonight. There is but one song for this…

Actually, it’s a two-song, no blues allowed Scramble (thanks for the reminder, Shoebox, and it fits so well with today’s Day by Day cartoon)…

Before we begin, Alexander has a PSA for you – donate blood.

  • Turk has the best of the Little Known Facts Tweet-A-Thon.
  • Eric Erickson has another Little Known Fact; Sarah Palin doesn’t need a Teleprompter to deliver a devastatingly-good speech.
  • Jim Geraghty suggested a killer line to Palin. I guess if The Indispensible One asks Palin to co-blog with him, I’ll definitely lose out in the co-blogging wars. Maybe if Shoebox did the asking,….
  • Ed Morrissey found signs of fight in the PUMAs.
  • Jim Hoft notes it wasn’t your average CodePinko that was PWN3D! when she tried to bum-rush the stage last night, but a Top 500 Obamination Bundler.
  • More Jim Hoft and CodePinko – he crashed one of their rallies with more success. I believe that makes the score Gateway Pundit 1, CodePinko 0.
  • Back to Ed Morrissey – he summarizes the Team Obama response – “Mom! Mom! Sister hit me back "¦ and she hits too hard for a girl!” (emphasis in the original)
  • Gopfolk offers some free advice to Team Obama. Money says they don’t take it.
  • William Amos rolls tape on Joe Biden’s latest pandering to the nutroots. Hmmm, I thought the tickets were supposed to move toward the middle in the general. Besides, if memory serves, Biden chose to place Bill Clinton above the law along with every other ‘Rat Senator back in 1999.
  • One more Ed Morrissey morsel – he discovered some rotting words from Biden on his former support for drilling. Guess we have to extend Jim Geraghty’s Maxim on Obama’s words to Biden’s – All statements from The Blunder Twins have an exipration date.
  • Dad29 found the 52nd state of the ObamiNation – Denial. I forgot to mention yesterday that he also found the 51st – Panic. I humbly submit the 53rd – Desperation.
  • Darryl Enriquez found just how touchy the ObamiNation is in Waukesha; they can’t even handle gentle jabs. Somebody please dispatch a WAHHHH-mbulance.
  • Speaking of WAHHHHH-mbulances, William Teach orders one for Joe Klein, who can’t handle the blowback.
  • Speaking of PWNAG3, Asian Badger found Megyn Kelly delivering the smackdown on US Weekly editor Bradley Jacobs’ candy-arse.
  • Jihad Gene tapped Krazy Kim Jong-Il’s phone again and recorded a 3 am call.
  • Staying with North Korea, Tom McMahon discovered a North Korean claim of a high-calorie ramen noodle. I’ll bet the EU won’t be complaining about genetically-modified foodstuffs.
  • Cuffy Meigs found the Atlantic Fleet gained a Ballistic Missile Defense destroyer. The score is now PacFlt 16, LantFlt 1. Keep them coming.
  • Chris the head barkeep found today’s Mr. No Luck Guy – someone at the WSOP Main Event who went all-in on 4 aces and got knocked out by a royal flush. Maybe he’ll want to tune in later today; after all, I was above .500 against the spread last year.
  • Jeni brings the Envirowhacko Update of the Day – the Swedes have outlawed catch-and-release fishing. That’s it; I’m declaring war on Sweden on behalf of all fishermen.

I’ll have the ever-popular (or at least ever-goofy) NFL picks up later, and I’ll be live-blogging the McCain acceptance speech (or the first game of the NFL season, whichever is more interesting). Until then, the thread is yours.
