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.

The Morning Scramble – 7/14/2008

I know; I did this song before, but Tony Snow’s flute brings a different perspective…

I really need to either start doing a weekend Scramble or start cutting back on the 200+-feed feed reader; this one’s going to be scattershot:

  • With all the focus on Tony Snow’s passing, it’s easy to miss that a pioneer in heart surgery, Dr. Michael DeBakey, also passed away this weekend. Fortunately, lawhawk didn’t miss this.
  • Patterico asks whether Howard Kurtz will declare bad for the gander what he declared bad for the geese. I highly-doubt it.
  • Tom McMahon 4-Blocks Snow and the guy he replaced as White House Press Secretary.
  • Gary Gross cheers the increasing belligerence of the House GOP on drilling.
  • Lemur King found a purveyor of nuts that was perfectly-positioned for the Jackson-Obama rift.
  • Learned Foot does the math on Norm Coleman’s DC apartment that’s been the subject of a Tin Foil Alert among the Minnesota lefties.
  • Moron Pundit has the idiots of the weekend. I’ll leave it up to you to decide whether the idiot who used a stolen Taser for some “fun” with his father, the idiots in Madison who won’t let us have “electric weapons”, or the idiot in Waukesha County who charged the shocker with possession of an “electric weapon” rather than the theft of that weapon.
  • Jeff Wagner proves why baseball and unorganized volunteerism are dying.
  • Soren Dayton exposes the online hypocrisy of Nancy Pelosi.
  • Failed Africa by lawhawk, Part 1 – he declares the International Criminal Court attempt to prosecute Sudan’s President “too little, too late”.
  • Lady Logician has evidence of whiplash among the ‘Rats on drilling. Nothing like a blindsiding by the voters to get them off their duffs.
  • Dave Casper caught a transit boss not practicing what he preaches. Why, after all, high-flying gubmint honchos can’t be tied to the very-limited schedule they want to tie the rest of us to.
  • James Wigderson replays the Burr vs. Hamilton duel with modern video equipment.
  • Capt. Karl makes the Constitutional case against the income tax.
  • John McCormack notes that Mr. Spanish-For-Your-Children Barack Hussein Obama can’t speak anything beyond English.
  • Patrick McIlheran answers the question of whether the US or the UK is more violent. Hint; it’s the assaults that seal the deal.
  • Jim Hoft has the Fading Glowbama pic of the weekend.
  • Patrick Ruffini explains why the Obamination Campaign made a mistake on not taking public financing.
  • Christopher Chantrill pokes a few more scientific holes in Gorebal “Warming”.
  • John Hawkins and Dennis Avery pump a lot of lead into Gorebal “Warming”. Do not miss the effect of adopting Kyoto or cap-and-trade.
  • Mark Block calls for some turnabout on the Wisconsin leftosphere.
  • Failed Africa by lawhawk, Part 2 – he notes that the ChiComs and the Sovi…er, Russians are standing by their fellow Marxist in Zimbabwe.
  • Dad29 notes the “R” model for the youth movement isn’t working. I think the insiders at the RNC and the WIGOP need to take a second look at efforts like Wisconsin Institute for Leadership and The Next Right (yes, I’m looking at you, Rep. Vos.)
  • Why? Ed Morrissey points to a clarion call from John Fund about how the Pubbies are about to have their lunch handed to them.
  • More Gateway Pundit – he notes a Clintonista Lawgiver-In-Black is roadblocking a single wellhead in Michigan because a particular bird is within a mile of it.
  • Failed Africa by lawhawk, Part 3 – he found the ChiComs fueling the military run by the guy the Europeans want to string up (see Part 1).
  • James T. Harris is wondering why he’s still in the central city.
  • Phelony Jones doesn’t miss all the gunshots from her old neighborhood.
  • Stephen Green caught Reuters rooting for retreat and defeat.
  • Emperor Misha I has the latest thing being blamed on Gorebal “Warming” – Black Hawk Down. And here I thought it was a bunch of Islamokazis.
  • Lance Burri ran the numbers on Obama’s service in the Senate, and by the time the 44th President is sworn in, he will have served 73% as long as the time John McCain spent in POW camps in North Vietnam.
  • Owen found a town where death is illegal. If only it were that easy to satiate the lust of those who want to live on this planet forever,….
  • Michelle Malkin tells Obama to grow a pair and take his satirical lumps like conservatives do on a regular basis.
  • I know, I’ve gone over this one before, but MataHarley explores who we bloggers do and do not influence. I don’t like to brag, but I know I have regular readers in both Wisconsin’s and the nation’s Capitol Building.
  • Patrick found that Milwaukee has a special set of taxes for retail business that want to have a “going out of business” sale. Considering they also want a $20/car/year wheel tax so they don’t have to make any tough decisions, and considering that this is WisTAXsin, I’m not the least bit surprised.
  • Even more Jim Hoft – he caught Obama admitting to a backward 2 1/2-flip gainer with a twist in an attempt to snow-job the Jewish vote.
  • More Captain Ed – he found distance between Obama and McCain on immigration; Obama has tossed the “terrorizing” (Obama’s word) ICE all the way under the Obamination Express.
  • Tracy Coenen notes we bloggers have rights.
