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.

Video of the day

Since we’re still missing the emptying of the HamNation vault, I had to expand my horizons just a bit. See-Dubya cranked this little look at history repeating itself out….

No wonder why Michelle Malkin grabbed him to be a full-time co-blogger. If only the Pubbies had listened to Zombie Reagan,….

Another Insight From The Holy Grail

by @ 11:25. Filed under Politics - National.

Oh, If I was capable of dubbing the video…

From Scene 17, The Tale of Sir Lancelot.   After the slaying of the party guests.

The original:

FATHER: Please! Please! This is supposed to be a happy occasion!    Let’s not  bicker and argue about who killed who. We are here today to  witness the  union of two young people in the joyful bond of the holy wedlock.  Unfortunately, one of them, my son Herbert, has just fallen to his death.

GUESTS: Oh! Oh no!

FATHER: But I don’t want to think I’ve not lost a son, so much as… gained a daughter!

Now rewritten for “The Democrat Holy Grail”…

Rewritten as…

HOWARD DEAN: Please! Please! This is supposed to be a happy occasion!   Let’s not bicker and argue about who killed who. We are here today to crown one of  our candidates and wish him well on his ascendency.   Unfortunately, one of them, Hillary, has just had a house fall on her.

GUESTS: Oh! Oh no!  

HOWARD DEAN: But I don’t want to think we’ve lost a candidate, so  much as….gained a messiah!

June 4, 1989 was a day of infamy. On that date, the People’s Liberation Army stormed Tienanmen Square and killed an untold number of people protesting the corrupt nature of the Red Chinese government. Lawhawk has a very nice rememberance, including video of both the crackdown and the bravest person on the planet facing down an armored column.

The Morning Scramble – 6/4/2008

by @ 8:36. Filed under The Morning Scramble.

It’s cold, foggy and drizzly here, which matches the mood in Camp Clinton. I wonder if they’ll take the time to reflect and vote in Michelle Malkin’s “Favorite Hillary campaign moment” contest (mine is the sniper incident)….

  • Patrick McIlheran links the closure of the GM Janesville plant with presumptive ‘Rat nominee Barack Hussein Obama’s support for gas mileage standards that cannot be met by trucks.
  • Jim Lynch has the frightening animated PhotoShop of the day. Yep, the smile’s the same between BHO and Jimmy Carter.
  • Speaking of PhotoShops, Slublog gathered up all of his classic SluShops and put them in an easy-to-find place.
  • Back to oil, Fausta found out that Brazil, the country of massive sugar-a-hole and a couple of impressive oil field finds off its own coast, wants to drink our eastern Gulf milkshake along with Cuba, Red China and Venezuela. Well, with both halves of the bipartisan Party-In-Government nominating no-drill advocates, it’s not surprising in the least.
  • E.M. Zanotti is still far more impressed with horsepower made the old-fashioned way (with oil burnt on board the vehicle making said horsepower). If I were about 10 years younger or older (and better-looking),….
  • Jon Ham says that June 12 is Carbon Belch Day. I think I’ll have a nice little burn at the other property.
  • Exposing the falsehood of the “drop” in Wisconsin’s tax rating part 1 – Mary Lazich notes that state and local taxes still went up as a percentage of income in 2006 (the year that the Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance said we dropped out of the top 10). As John McClane would say if he were real, “Welcome to the party, pal.”
  • Exposing the falsehood of the “drop” in Wisconsin’s tax rating part 2 – Frank Lasee exposes just how Wisconsin “fell” – other states suddenly had mineral resources income counted as tax.
  • Curt notes that the bloodlust of the Left isn’t missing; it just seeks outlets in situations where there is no national security interest (which explains the Balkans and planned Haiti adventures under Bill Clinton).
  • Tom McMahon looks at wildly-divergent brothers. I know Rick Moran will probably disagree with me giving him the white hat, but considering his flaming-liberal brother Terry is on Nightline, I really should have Tom do a special 6-Block.

I realliy need to stop commenting on blogs as I do my prep; it’s taking way too long to do </sarcasm>. Seriously, I’m a commenter at heart, which makes this a labor of love.

I’ve got to bump this back to the top….it makes more sense today than on 5/24 when I originally posted it.

Ah….it all makes sense now!
