The trip back from Madison yesterday drained me more than I thought. I’m feeling a chest cold coming on…

- Dave Bauer reveals who Abu Babear is in the penultimate episode of Blogs4Bauer’s Writers’ Strike Substitue. Next week; do we get our first Scientologist President?
- Shoebox sounds the alarm for those of us forced to burn our food. I will note that since he’s in Minnesota, he has to deal with ethanol statewide (unless he’s driving a 21-year-old vehicle or a diesel; if memory serves, the latter suffers from a biodiesel requirement, and soybeans are about as flood-intolerant as corn).
- Ace delivers an Instant Classic on the combined US/Saudi increase of 200,000 barrels of oil per day.
- 3 wood reports on another (un)intended consequence of high gas prices; a further crash of the suburban housing market.
- Kate has several cartoons on oil.
- Lawhawk notes the 7th Marine of the Haditha 8 is about to be cleared. I wonder whether John Murtha likes crow.
- Paul Noonan makes the case for doing to Ned Yost what the Mets did to Willie Randolph.
- Tom McMahon 4-Blocks the difference between Jesus Christ and Barack Obama.
- Jim Geraghty caught Obama’s likely National Security Advisor, Richard Danzig, dipping into the land of childrens’ books, and comparing Islamokazis to Luke Skywalker. No word on whether it was the Navy or the group by that name that fried Richard’s mind.
- Of course, Slublog unleashed an Instant Classic SluShop in honor of that.
- Plebian takes a semi-serious look at Obama’s VP candidate choices. I’ll leave it up to you to decide which parts are Shirley-quality serious.
- Lance Burri has the latest Obamination verbal gaffe. Just remember, there’s a reason why authoritarians the world over want their subjects unarmed.
- Robert has the cartoon of the day, mourning the impending loss of independence for America’s last mega-brewer. If only I could handle rice in my beer, I’d hoist a cold one.
- John Adams notes the Department of Revenue sees a sluggish Wisconsin economy until 2010. I guess making Wisconsin a bigger corporate tax hell isn’t exactly conducive to economic growth.
- Ed Morrissey explores the decision of the Associated Press to revisit its stance of suing blogs that use short quotations from its articles.
