I have enough pseudophedrine in me to do another edition of Ask Egg, which combined with the fact that it’s Friday the 13th, means this thing’s late. Sorry about that. Hopefully this mega-edition of the Scramble will fix that.

- First, I’ll highlight someone at Wednesday’s AFP Blogger School who will be on my bloated roll presently. Jessi relays a whacking of Rep. Tammy Baldwin’s (D-Madison, WI) weak response to rising gas prices by her presumptive opponent, Peter Theron.
- Charles Johnson wonders when Barack Hussein Obama will throw his brother Malik under the bus.
- Bull Dog Pundit fills Obama’s FICA tax increase full of holes.
- TexasFred finds a few ‘Rats not falling for Obama. Hopefully there’s more of them than those of us not falling for John McCain.
- Neo-Con Tastic comes back from the dead to do a wicked Photoshop as his entry to Red State’s Fake It contest. I’m a sucker for mushroom clouds.
- John Hawkins caught Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) wishes the hottest ring of Hell for those of us who disagree with Michelle Obama. Sorry, Dick; that’s already occupied by your friend Saddam Hussein.
- Gabriel Malor caught another Obama supporter with a Che pic in his office. This time, it’s a Lawgiver-In-Black in Ohio.
- Ed Morrissey asks, “Think that the Florida issue is over?” Seems the Obama crowd is trying to get more delegates than they’re entitled to.
- Related to that, Jim Geraghty quotes from an e-mail sent by Obama’s Florida finance chair. Since Jim censored it, we need to do some character substitution: & = u, ^ = c, and % = k. Stay classy, Kirk Wagar.
- While I’m done with Obama, I’m not done with the ‘Rats. Jim Hoft notes the continued free-fall of the Pelosi Congress. As my fellow Morons would say, “Epic FAIL!”
- Hack-A-Chuck Part I – Shoebox hacks Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on his inconsistency over “windfall profits”. Last year, Schumer protected his constituents (investment fund managers) from an “windfall profits” tax.
- John McAdams teaches Economics 101 to the ‘Rats.
- Hack-A-Chuck Part II – Flip hacks Schumer on his inconsistency over the filibuster.
- Dupray exposes the reason behind the lack of a ‘Rat energy plan.
- Brian Faughnan notes the next step in the envirowhackos’ plan to return the US to the 17th Century – kill the Canadian oil industry through lawsuits. Considering that would put us even more at the mercy of the Islamokazis, maybe I should’ve said 8th Century.
- Headless Blogger renews his call for the end of ethanol mandates in the face of a lot of flooded-out corn fields.
- See-dubya teases us with news of 7 new refineries. Unfortunately, they’re in Iran.
- Gopfolk explores whether solar is a viable alternative. The short answer is “No”, but do read the extended answer.
- Michelle Malkin joins the calls for McCain to actually visit ANWR, and more importantly,
- Neocon catches McCain doing some waffling regarding drilling. Considering he is willing to let states veto offshore drilling, and the states with the largest unexploited developments are against it, it’s more of a case of being disingenuous than waffling.
- Uncle Jimbo takes President Bush to task for squandering the time that Club Gitmo bought us. Now, thanks to a power grab by the Lawgivers-In-Black, enemy combatants now hold more rights than the average citizen going before the IRS.
- Jim Hoft has some good news; the Brits are able to tell the difference between crossdressing Islamokazis and the women in countries dominated by Islamokazis. Since the dead tango was wearing pink, I wonder when Code Pink starts their protests.
- Elliot has the latest example of guns not killing people.
- David St. Lawrence has a timely tip for those job-hunting; beware of bait-and-switch on your salary.
- Gawfer celebrates his 500th post with a trip to the US Open. Lucky bastich; great pics.
- Speaking of Club Gitmo, Matt has pics of the American staffers having fun on the water.
