No Runny Eggs

Ever since I was a young boy…

• Jib explores roadside economics and find the news grim. Given that the manufacturers of cars and personal recreational vehicles are resorting (once again) to very-low-interest long-term financing to get people in the door, I’d have to say the ripple effect is not done yet.
• Michelle Malkin cranks up the Obama Gaffe Machine.
• Curt asks whether the Iranian leader Barack Hussein Obama would meet with unconditionally is the puppet Ahmadinejad or head Mad Mullah™ Ayatollah Khamenei.
• Gopfolk has a two-for in the toon department, taking on both Indiana Obama and the “threatened” polar bear.
• S. Weasel unleases her latest Photoshops on BHO. I like the second.
• Eric ties together Hillary Clinton and the Kentucky Derby. Say, wasn’t the lone filly in the Derby put down on the track?
• Bill Quick says Clinton’s in it to win it back her $11 million in loans. Given they’re almost at the tipping point in delegates, I’m at least somewhat inclined to agree.
• Tom McMahon applies the 2004 standard to this election. Of course, he forgot to put the partisan spin that makes all the difference, but that’s the point.
• Ed Morrissey asks whether the split in the party of the Rat is racial or ideological. While it is ideological, the fact that they always go for the candidate that most-approaches 110% compliance (and, by 0.01 percentage points, it’s Obama over Clinton) means that despite the temptation for John McCain to tack even further left, there’s nothing to be gained by doing so.
• Second dose of the boss – Michelle issued a Shamnesty Alert for the Feinstein/Craig amendment to the GWOT supplemental bill.
• Speaking of the bill, it’s time for a second dose of Curt – he notes that shamnesty isn’t the only game being played on what was once touted as a “clean” supplemental.
• Headless Blogger outlines the eight main symptoms of Groupthink. ‘Rats, Islamokazis and Gorebal Warming acolytes (I do repeat myself, though) sure seem to meet the definitions.
• ChrisG has some fun ticking off some of the spam caught in the Flopping Aces filters. A mild content warning has been issued for the spam.
• Katie Favazza caught a rather interesting take on biofuels from the UN. The stopped clock that is the UN may not be quite right, but they’re not the 180-degrees wrong they usually are.
• Elliot asks the salient question after the local paintcatcher (the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel for those of you who don’t remember where I am) put out the online call for “victims” of “Big Oil”.
• Brian answers the question of whether conservatism is dead in the emphatically-negatory. I’ve long struggled with the answer to that question.
• Second dose of Jib – he tells Milwaukee Brewer manager Ned Yost to either take some heat like a man or get out of the dugout. I’ve made it no secret I’d prefer the latter.
• A less-than-healthy Kathy Carpenter summoned up the strength to point out one more thing (besides voting) that we need photo IDs for – prescription drugs.
