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.

The Morni…er, Afternoon Scramble – 9/17/2008

by @ 13:09 on September 17, 2008. Filed under The Morning Scramble.

I’ve been busy and out of energy since I got back from Phoenix, so this one’s going to be a bit slow and short (as well as late)

  • Jim Geraghty read my mind on the Wisconsin portion of the election.
  • Owen caught DPW chair Joe Wineke admitting that fraud is part of the ‘Rat strategy in Wisconsin.
  • More of the Indispensible One – Jim Geraghty explodes the myth of the pollsters missing something with cell-phone only folks.
  • Ari Kaufman makes the case that this election is really no different than any other. Well, except for this potentially being the final firewall betweeen us and one-party socialism (read, Communism), I’d agree.
  • Rick Esenberg continues the theme of the new boss being the same as the old boss.

    Executive decision; since the same happened in Chicago last night, and because I missed yesterday, I owe you a second song.

  • Trail-Mix tracks the money spent by Fannie and Freddie to protect their golden parachutes. Yes, they are a pair of ‘Rat-leaning organizations; 57% of their donations went to the party of surrender and socialism.
  • Donna Martinez has the jaw-dropping attack on Christianity news of the day – the rosary is now considered a “gang” symbol. No word on whether the burka (the camouflage of choice of Islamokazis) will similarily be considered a “gang” symbol.
  • Fred says to follow the money on the Gorebal “Warming” racket.
  • Scott compares Barack Obama to FDR and finds the former falls short.
  • Bill Quick found yet another PUMA jumping ship. I disagree with his assessment that it doesn’t matter; with the current “base-only” strategy from the Obama campaign, they need that part of their base to not bolt (besides, the more PUMAs that complete the bolt to the McCain camp, the less likely it will be that we can contain the bad side of John McCain).
  • The Game reports that Obama’s Teleprompter now has a seat on the plane.
  • Trail-Mix has video of what happens when that Teleprompter goes bad.
  • Bruce runs the MasterCard numbers on Obama’s all-star gala fundraiser. He forgot the punchline – There are some things HopeandChange can buy. For everything else, there’s Reality.
  • Jim Hoft reports that the battleground states are starting to break John McCain’s way. Could that trend, and the presstitutes’ unwillingness to accept that the people are rejecting their annointed one, be why I haven’t seen any new polling in Wisconsin lately, or could the pollsters be as cynical as Geraghty and I are?
  • Richard Baehr runs down the battleground states one by one.
  • Kate pictures the humor of our troops. I got a very good laugh out of the minesweeper one.
  • CDR Salamander takes the three-day view on a proper response to an Iranian attempt to shut down the Strait of Hormuz. I STRONGLY recommend you also read the comments; he continues his trend of drawing very insightful commentary.

Too much to do, too little energy to do it. I still have to complete my dig through the No-Drill bill, there’s some comparisons between 2004 and 2008 that will likely take a few more days, and I have a dig-and-hack to do on the successful attempt to weasel a “Healthy” (and Depopulated) Wisconsin referendum on the Oak Creek ballot. Short version; it was a malformed direct “legislation” attempt that, despite the legal misgivings of both the city attorney and mayor (who both actually support socialized medicine), was sent to the ballot in part because of some blustery lies from the outfit attempting to push the $30 billion tax increase.
