The Morning Scramble – 9/12/2008

I don’t have my Scramble song list to see if I duplicated this one, so sue me if I duplicate things…

Despite the fact I haven’t had a “regular” Scramble since Monday, this one’s going to be limited and in no particular order. FeedDemon’s giving me all sorts of grief on the laptop today, and those crazy Libertarians from Reason had a late-night open bar last night I couldn’t miss (they had me at “open bar”).

  • Before I begin, a PSA from John Little – he rebroadcasts a very grim warning for those who are stupid enough to stay in Hurricane Ike’s path.
  • Patrick pictures the S.S. Hope and Change. Yep, she’s doing down by the stern.
  • Paul Socha questions the Milwaukee Elections Commission’s decision to use Tuesday’s partisan primary election to make a massive same-day registration drive at UWM. I am not amused, especially since gerrymandering puts the UWM campus on Milwaukee’s Upper East Side in the same state senate district as me in Oak Creek via the Jones Island sewage treatment plant.
  • Bruce explores the multiple links between Barack Obama and convicted tire-slasher-for-political-advantage Sowande A. Omokunde, who just happens to be the son of Congresswoman Gwen Moore (D-WI). I guess Supreme Solar Allah was just doing some late-night “community organizing” when he ensured his mother’s ascention to Congress and John Kerry’s win in Wisconsin in 2004 </sarcasm>.
  • Dad29 reports Wisconsin’s Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen (the only Republican to take a statewide/Congressional office away from the ‘Rats in 2006, if memory serves) is suing the Government “Accountability” Board for not checking voter registration records entered prior to August 6, 2008 against drivers’ license records as required by federal law. I’ll remind you that, while the GAB did check records entered between 8/6/2008 and the end of August this year, they’re not going to do anything about it. Do not miss Dad29’s takeaway line.
  • Zip is shocked, SHOCKED that Google ignored 9/11. I’m not surprised; they ignored Memorial Day as well, and their motto should be Don’t Be Evil Conservative or patriotic.
  • John notes that even Microsoft (yes, that EEEEEEEVIL Microsoft) had more sense than Google. I’ll point out that they also had more sense than Yahoo, but if memory serves, Yahoo doesn’t celebrate leftists’ birthdays.
  • James Wigderson got a hold of an e-mail on how the local paint-catcher planned on burying the expansion of the news that out-of-state gay rights activists are pumping money to buy the last piece of Wisconsin’s government not under ‘Rat control.
  • Moe Lane caught the ‘Rats trying to fix the election on the federal level. Well, they nominated a typical Chicago pol and one of the most-ossified members of Congress to be their standard-bearers, so of course they’ll pull Chicago Machine tactics to win by every nefarious means possible.
  • Headless Blogger wonders just how in Sam Hill Wisconsin could have over 1 million new registrations among 4.25 million adults in less than three years. I actually account for two of them with a pair of moves, though each time I changed my registration (at the city clerk’s office and nowhere near election day), I specifically instructed the clerk to remove the old record.
  • Lance Burri goes into the numbers behind Toofer Kevin Barrett’s Libertarian primary win in Wisconsin’s 3rd Congressional District. I don’t know what’s scarier; that Barrett won the primary on a Toofer platform, or that less than 1 voter per precinct decided that election.
  • Jon Ham deconstructs Charlie Gibson’s and the LeftStreamMedia’s attempted ambush of Sarah Palin last night. I know I put out a call for somebody to DVR it, and I know Shoebox has it on DVR, but now I need a way to get it.
  • MataHarley found absolutely, positively no “cone of silence” around Obama last night. Once again, that proves how bad Obama is without somebody spoon-feeding him answers (I won’t mention that those he chooses to spoon-feed said answers are just as bad).
  • Jon Ham found that the envirowhackos have discovered jury nullification. It’s now a race to see whether Eurabia enters the 13th or 8th Century (or at least the 8th without the one French win).
  • Sister Toldjah wonders how today’s Left would have dealt with FDR. I wonder if his Communistic tendencies would outweigh his “warmongering”, praying ways in their eyes.
  • Mary Katharine Ham reports on the dedication of the Pentagon 9/11 memorial. For those tracking the bouncing ball that MKH has become, she is now part of the Weekly Standard crew (site note; since the DC Examiner emptied out Ham Blog, I pulled it from the temporarily-shrunken roll).
  • John Hawkins lists the top 7 reasons conservatives love Palin.
  • Owen is taking volunteers to do what the GAB and county clerks won’t; check the rolls.
  • Mary caught the Washington Post in full PDS mode.
  • Jeff Dufour and Patrick Gavin find it’s not easy for the ‘Rats to be green. They forgot that “being green” is for us little people while the apparachniks live high on the hog.
  • GayPatriotWest chronicles Joe Biden’s Greatest Gaffes, August/September 2008 Edition.
  • Kat found the original Al Qaeda in “a world of hurt”. I caution that they’re still franchising, and if we let up now, the fight won’t be far from our shores but on our soil.
  • Shoebox points out the fight on drilling is about to shift to the Senate and the Gang of 10 16. DRILL BABY, DRILL!
  • Mary notes the Obama campaign will officially join in their surrogates’ slime. Doesn’t surprise me; after all, they have a middle to turn off to politics.
  • John Washburn reports that local election officials are taking the half-mile given to them by the GAB and stretching it to a mile to prevent effective citizen oversight of the election process. Worse, that’s not in Milwaukee, or Racine, or Madison, or another bastion of Wisconsin vote fraud.
  • Fausta has the latest example of why The News Organization That Cannot Be Quoted™ doesn’t want its headlines quoted.
  • Mary Katharine Ham tracks the rest of the Palin/Gibson interview headlines.
