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.

Roll bloat-and-change – Examining the newness

by @ 11:13. Filed under The Blog.

In case you haven’t noticed, Mary Katharine Ham has begun the transition of the Washington Examiner to the new dcexaminer.com site. That means all of the DC Examiner blogs have moved, so here’s the very-short list of those I’ve kept my eye on, complete with working URLs (and some new ones in the roll):

– Yeas & Nays
– Nate Beeler’s Toons
– Tapscott’s Copy Desk
– Ham Blog (which, like the blog of any good overworked techie, isn’t quite done yet)

Is there anything else over at Bill Sammon’s place that I can shill? :-)

Abandon all hope, Obamination denziens

by @ 10:30. Filed under Politics - National.

Let’s face it; Barack Hussein Obama played you chumps like a Stradivarius….

– When push came to shove, he picked the old white guy who is a two-time failure in national politics just because Joe “Plugs” Biden (Plagiarist-Gaffe) is what Obama wants to be when he finally grows up.
– Biden blows in the wind on his supposed strength of foreign policy; he voted for the Iraq War and now wants to carve it up along sectarian lines.
– Talk about change; Biden has been in the Senate every year he has been Constitutionally-eligible, and has been there over half his life.
– Fausta has a reason why you chumps waited until 3 am for that text message, when ABC figured out hours earlier that it was Biden based on where the Secret Service was heading, and the Washington Post got the official word long before you; Obama wanted to stick one last shiv in the back of Her Royal Cankleness.
– Speaking of that 3 am text message, be expecting a lot of fundraising calls from the Obamination; he’s going to need your cash.
– Ed Morrissey points out that the presstitutes are none too happy either. After all, the Obamination Express is their creation.
– If you thought you could catch John McCain napping, I’ve got news for you; this ad hit Youtube at 6:06 am Eastern, and it just happens to be the 30 seconds TV stations like…

While I’m under no delusions that McCain will continue the momentum he started this morning, I’m going to enjoy this. Can I get a CHAOS?

Nutroots shown the undercarriage of the Obamination Express

by @ 3:03. Filed under Politics - National.

One last item before I finally collapse in a heap – Patrick Ruffini confirms the timing of official notifications to the presstitutes versus the “you’ll hear it here first” mass-text to the nutroots, and the Washington Post got their official confirmation 1 hour 12 minutes before the nutroots.

Meet the new boss; same as the old boss.

The Morning Scramble – 8/23/2008

by @ 2:29. Filed under The Morning Scramble.

Yes it’s very late (or very early depending on one’s perspective), but the O’Biden ticket is a guarantee of full blogging for those of us right-of-center, and I need to party…

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L74XDgMcwKk[/youtube]

I promise to not do too much O’Biden, but I must start with it before I run out of popcorn and beer.

  • Vinnie the Trollhammer sums up the ticket quite nicely – LOSER.
  • Jim Geraghty can’t wait for the McCain commercials featuring Joe Bidens’ words from last year.
  • Curt dips into the memory vault for some Plugs’ gems.
  • Matt Naugle also dips into the memory vault for another oldie-but-goodie from Plugs. Let’s party like it’s 1988.
  • More of The Indispensible One – Geraghty digests the ticket (no word on how much Tums he took).
  • Asian Badger calls it “manna”.
  • Jonathan Garthwaite declares the tossing of the new media under the bus with the hours-long scoop by the presstitutes who found out that the Secret Service is protecting Biden “politics as usual — just with a big pile of cash to play with”.
  • The Vintage one notes that the unnamed officials confirming the Plugging of the bottom of the ticket didn’t want to pre-empt the mass-text. Now, where did I put my Photoshop of Wile E. Coyote’s distant cousin, Barack H. Obama, Suuuper Mess?
  • Okay, enough Plugs for one morning; back to the Obamination Watch – Vivian Lee has a new nickname for Obama that is guaranteed to make you spew your beverage.
  • RightwingSparkle caught the Obamination Express openly campaigning for the prison population vote. More ‘Rat politics as usual.
  • Rick Moran has the latest Nigerian Scam – help Nigerians donate to the Obamination Express. Why do I get the feeling that this isn’t the first time the Nigerians have been involved?
  • Operation Chaos LIVES, Part I – Ace dreams of CHAOS!
  • Operation Chaos LIVES, Part II – PJ-Comix found a certain parallel between “Peanuts” and the last two ‘Rats standing. Historical note; at the time Charles Schultz started the field-goal gag, Hillary Clinton had dark hair.
  • Operation Chaos LIVES, Part III – James Wigderson has a few drink recipes. After all, we know Clinton can pound them down.
  • Operation Chaos LIVES, Part IV – Jim Hoft found out that Clinton wasn’t even on the short list. Odds of Obama making that field goal in Invesco Field have now dropped to 1-2; good thing I locked in against when it was 2-7.
  • Silent E found the schedule for the ‘Rat convention.
  • Charlie Sykes posts an e-mail stating the obvious; Gov. Jim “Craps” Doyle (WEAC/Potawatomi-For Sale) is directing the war against Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce. For my out-of-state readers (or those that somehow missed it), I highly-recommend Christian Schneider’s smackdown of former UW Chancellor John Wiley.
  • Lawhawk reports that Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick (D) did not take a deal to leave office in exchange for the dropping of one of the two criminal charges against him. Oh yeah; Kilpatrick, an Obama supporter and superdelegate, won’t be able to go to Denver because the terms of his bond prevent it.
  • Fausta found that the presstitute bias toward the Obamination Express exists just as strongly south of the border as it does on this side.
  • The Borderline Chris has a heap of reasons to become more self-sufficient in the production of energy.
  • Laughing Wolf found the Soviet Unio…er, Russia digging in and cleansing the parts of Georgia they occupy.
  • Kim Zigfeld asks whether NATO will abandon Ukraine much like they’re abandoning Georgia. I guess the Ukranians are regretting giving up the nukes they had inherited from the breakup of the Soviet Union right about now.
  • Original Pechanga calls for the end of tribal sovereignty. While he’s talking about California, it is equally-applicable to Wisconsin (there is a reason I use the terms “Craps” and “Potawatomi” in my extended description of Doyle).
  • Gopfolk has the funnies.
  • Nate Beeler pictures the Beijing Olympics Oppression closing ceremonies.
  • Elliot asks a pertinent restroom question. After all that beer, it’s definitely time to melt some ice.

With that, I’m off to bed. I’ll have my thoughts on the all-plagiarism ticket sometime later today.
