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.

This place is now mobile-friendly

by @ 18:41. Filed under The Blog.

One of the things I discovered while in DC is that this place wasn’t exactly mobile web friendly. However, I discovered (quite by accident) a nice little plugin that does make it mobile-friendly – Alex King’s WordPress Mobile Edition. I don’t quite have it optimized yet for this place, but I do have the captcha integrated so you can comment remotely through it.

If you do have a mobile web interface and still get the full 3-column site, please let me know.

Paul Ryan for Congress energy ad

I saw this ad on Fox News this afternoon, and went to the Paul Ryan campaign site to see if they had an embeddable version to help spread it around. They didn’t, so I asked the campaign for permission to put it on my YouTube account. They said yes, so here it is.

It shouldn’t be a secret that I do support Paul Ryan. I have neither requested nor received any compensation for this ad.

The Scramble – 10/14/2008

Yes, I’ve been very negligent with this, but I proved the last time I did this it takes a very long time nowadays…

  • No Compromises found out the Obamination Censorship Cabal extends to BlogTalkRadio.
  • Stephen Green predicts they’ll come for this end of the blogosphere next.
  • Brian C. Anderson outlines the plan of the Obamination Censorship Cabal.
  • Fred exposes the indoctrination into the ObamiNation that is already taking place in middle schools. That’s right; they’re already prepping the battlefield to protect The Missiah in 2012.
  • Matt Wolking explores the rabbit hole that is the Obama/ACORN connection. I don’t think he’s hit the bottom of it yet.
  • Maggie Thurber reports that a RICO action has been filed against ACORN in Ohio.
  • Mary Katharine Ham has what really happened (or more-precisely, didn’t happen) in Wilmington, North Carolina yesterday. Of course, because the LameStreamMedia has a vested interest in getting their man in the Oval Office, reality doesn’t matter to them.
  • Brian Fraley has the top 4 reasons the Democrats are pushing early voting.
  • Hugh Hewitt suggests a few questions for Barack Obama in tomorrow’s debate (which I will be either liveblogging or drunkblogging; I haven’t decided which direction to take yet).
  • Matt Lewis notes that federal judges are the unspoken 8,000-pound hippo in the room.
  • Nick Schweitzer explains why John McCain (and by extension, the Republican Party) is losing this election – lack of market differentiation.
  • Eric is tired of caring more about winning the White House than McCain.
  • Jim Geraghty wonders where the purple-finger legislation is. After all, it works in places like Iraq and Afghanistan.
  • Stephan Tawney reports that ACORN is 2,100 for 2,100 in Indiana – not one of the voter registrations they turned in and were checked were legitimate.
  • Meanwhile, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that a third person has now been criminally charged in the growing voter registration scandal here in Milwaukee. No word on whether the Government “Accountability” Board (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin) will reverse its decision to not check or allow to be checked mail-in and third-party voter registration forms turned in between January 1, 2006 and August 6, 2008.
  • Peter has the Obama Alphabet.
  • RightwingSparkle has the very first thing that Obama will sign as President – cement abortion on demand by every method out there.
  • John Hawkins has the oh-so-tolerant violent Left in quotes.
  • Erick Erickson caught a Democrat candidate for Congress saying that America is the greatest evil in the world.
  • Michael Yon explains Afghanistan. I have but three words – Read. It. All.
  • Michael Turk explains the Obama tax “cut”. It’s the final step in getting half of Americans to see the federal government as an ATM linked to the other half. Now, what was that about a democracy ceasing to exist once that happens?
  • For those that would rather have it in picture form, Tom McMahon pictures that for you. Somehow, I doubt the teachers will be satisified with that dime.
  • JammieWearingFool blows the Obamination defense of ACORN out of the water. Then again, they do have a point that we’re trying to get the fraudulent vote out of the system.
  • Speaking of fraud, Michelle Malkin found the Obama campaign benefiting from credit card fraud.
  • Conservative Belle pictures the currency as it is now.
  • Christian Schneider reminds us to get out of the Presidential Pool. Yes, I am serious, and don’t call me Shirley – in Wisconsin, one cannot vote if one gambles on the results of an election.
  • Since tonight is Drinking Right-Milwaukee, and because I need a kicker, crystalclearconservative has a reason to drink – white wine has the same cardiac benefits as red wine. My question; if beer has some, if fewer cardiac benefits as wine, shouldn’t hard liquor have more?

I could go the rest of the afternoon, but I do have a good campaign ad from Paul Ryan to convert to YouTube format and post and Drinking Right to attend.

Drill Here, Drill Now Tuesdays – 10/14/2008

by @ 16:00. Filed under Energy.

Yes, I forgot to put one up last week in the rush to get to DC (I HATE flights that leave at 7 am), but I’m back this week.

My gas price (south-suburban Milwaukee, WI) – $2.979/gallon

Well, we’ve had the ban on offshore drilling expired for two weeks, and even though I haven’t been paying very close attention, I don’t seem to recall any news on new leases. Then again, we do have an election coming up in 3 weeks, and the party that seems poised to win has promised to shut off the spigot.

If that happens, we’ll look back at $4/gallon gas and $140/barrel oil, and whatever you were paying in your locale for electricity, natural gas, and heating oil at their peaks to date with nostalgia. Do recall their non-drill “drill” bill that would have put most of the OCS off-limits. Do also recall they snuck a tax increase on domestic oil production into the bailout bill.

Drinking Right – Milwaukee — Tonight

by @ 15:18. Filed under Miscellaneous.

Attention, your attention please. The original home of Drinking Right will be having its October edition tonight; usual place (Papa’s Social Club, 7718 W Burleigh in Milwaukee), usual time (7 pm). My liver may be damaged after drinking my way through DC last week, but I only live once.

Be there or be nowhere.
