I’ve had these two on the roll at the TownHall version of this place for a couple days; but due to laziness, I’m just getting around to adding them here. The View from the Island and TheWayWeAre may not publish daily, but when they do, they have a lot of good stuff to say.
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.

Roll bloat – the wasted debate edition
I put The American Pundit up before the debate thread went live, but I didn’t want to stomp all over that train wreck (the debate, not the software I used, which is pretty good). The delay in making the announcement was a good call because I found I needed to fix the link to go to Brennan’s main page.
Meanwhile, I need to correct a serious oversight and get the original drunkblogger, Stephen Green the VodkaPundit, onto the roll.
Don’t be stupid like me and keep on putting off reading these two guys. Add them to your rolls and feed readers; you will not regret it.

Do they make this in a man-portable size?
(H/T – Ace, who will justifiably be in his bunk)
BAE Systems has delivered a 32-megajoule prototype rail gun to the US Navy. While this isn’t quite to the USN’s final goal of a 64-megajoule rail gun that can hurl a projectile 220 miles downrange with a muzzle velocity of better than Mach 8, it’s a hell of a weapon.
Armor has met its match.

I wonder if I should break out my Roasted Paul-Nuts pic. Ah, why not?
Shiny new toy live-blog of the Dems in Vegas
Guess there is just enough left standing in Vegas after the Uncle Jimbo invasion last week for the Democrats to hold a debate. The party starts here at 6:45 and on CNN at 7. I decided to try out something a little different, something called Cover It Live. If everything goes as planned, it will show up immediately below, and you won’t need to refresh for new content once it starts. Just as a reminder; I probably will rip everybody a new one before the night is done, I paraphrase a lot, the questions are in italics, the answers are in normal type, and my own comments are in parentheses. Oh, and if I swear, I apologize; these are Dhimms I’m dealing with.
Michelle Malkin’s got the popcorn popped, and Jim Geraghty has the Cliff Notes’ preview. I expect most of the rest of the regulars to bring the beer; I’m going to need it.
5:27 pm (no, the live-blog applet isn’t live yet) – The gang at Free Republic is early as usual.
5:52 pm – Brennan the American Pundit is borrowing my method of madness. He’ll be better and less colorful. Also, the link to the CNN live stream is up
6:15 pm – Gabriel Malor has the AoS open thread up. Meanwhile, the real reason why I am testing the shiny new toy just went down the crapper; Mitt Romney torpedoed the Dec. 5 Iowa Pubbie debate (H/T – HotAir Headlines)
9:12 pm – And the live-blog is out. The replay is available in the above window.
Grover Norquist at the Center Right
Yesterday, an overflow crowd filled the Madison Club to listen to Grover Norquist. I was lucky enough to be one of the crowd because Norquist is a very colorful and quotable person. Let me go through the notes to give you a taste of what you missed:
– Between the end of the Civil War and the rise of Ronald Reagan, ones’ political party told more of where one lived rather than what one stood for.
– The national Center Right Coalition, which Norquist founded, grew out of a sense of those that wanted government to leave them alone. Also, there is no “20-point agreement” between the various members of the group.
– On the left’s, specifically, Hillary Clinton’s portion of the left, list of demands on others – “It is slightly longer and more tedious than Leviticus.”
– The Republican name has become the Coca-Cola no-tax-increase brand nationally, and it’s continuing to trickle down to the states.
– Quote related to that – “Republican politicians who vote for tax increases are the rat’s head in the Coke bottle.”
– None of the Presidential candidates have really jumped on the transparency of expenditures movement yet. Norquist feels the first one that does will get a rather significant leg-up.
There was a LOT more than either what I have above or what I managed to scribble down on two pages of paper, but I do have to try to balance the desire to talk with the standard “what’s said here stays here”. I honestly could do an epic on it, at least if I were a better writer.
Due to the Thanksgiving holiday, there won’t be a late-November Center Right meeting. However, you will want to circle December 12 on your calendars; Rick Esenberg (yes, the Shark and Shepherd Rick) will be in to discuss the Supreme Court race. If you think you can make it, let Mark Block know now – markb – at – afphq – dot – org (I don’t think I have to remind you of what to do with that to make it e-mailable).
