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 Scramble – 9/22/2008

I honestly don’t know how Glenn Reynolds does it; he has far more sources than I do and he’s able to keep them all straight and on time.

Of course, he doesn’t do music. Today’s is courtesy Stephen Green, who found that you can check out of the Religion of Pieces any time you want, but you can never leave (alive, at least) in Iran…

Yes, I’m sooo glad that Joe Biden and Jimmy Carter thought it a good idea to allow the Mad Mullahs to take over Iran </sarcasm_biting>.

  • I originally wanted to put the Obamination Update a bit lower, but there is an item that deserves first-post coverage – Ace and Dr. Rusty Shackleford tag-team to expose some seriously-slimy Astroturfing from Team Obama smearing Sarah Palin.
  • CDR Salamander found some Russian blowback on their attempt to use secession movements to restore the Soviet empire. If only both sides in the Russian/Tartarstan battle could lose,….
  • Mary Katharine Ham caught Madeleine Albright and Colin Powell advocating war with Russia urging the integration of Georgia and Ukrane into NATO. Of course, had it been, say, Sarah Palin that urged the integration of Georgia and Ukrane into NATO, the presstitutes would’ve worked themselves into a lather over World War III…oh wait, they did as MKH proves.
  • Jim Hoft found the working relationship between Al Qaeda and Iran fracturing. I’ll ignore the fact the Italian press can’t remember that the Iranian leadership is anything but Arab and point out that both branches of Islam demand 110% fealty, with the Iranians and Al Qaeda representing different branches.
  • Michael Yon found the French and NATO acting like, well, the French and politicians and repeating the PR mistakes that we made in Iraq circa 2005.
  • Weasel Zippers Pakistani Front Update, Part I – Zip discovered Pakistan’s military flying resupply missions to the Taliban inside Afghanistan last year.
  • Weasel Zippers Pakistani Front Update, Part II – he reports that Pakistani troops recently opened fire on US helicopters targeting Taliban/Al Qaeda forces taking shelter in Pakistan.
  • Amy Geiger-Hemmer caught MSNBC doing a “creative edit” of McCain campaign spokeswoman Carly Firoina’s words to make it seem like Fiorina was saying Sarah Palin is unqualified. I’m shocked, SHOCKED that the Official Network of the Obama Campaign would cut a quote off mid-sentence to make it fit their agenda.
  • Patrick Hynes reports on the war in the Washington Post newsroom between the reporters and the columnists.
  • Slublog found the traditional “heart and soul” of The News Organization That Cannot Be Quoted™, newspapers, rebelling against said organization for taking their best material. Irony is a dish best served cold, and it does get pretty cold in northern Maine.
  • Kate has a very-disturbing pic of lipstick on a community organizer. Yep, still not Presidential material.
  • (H/T – doubleplusundead among others) The gang at The Nose On Your Face picture Barack Obama in Vietnam. To paraphrase from the original movie they used in the picture, he don’t mean nothin’, not a thing.
  • Jim Geraghty wonders why anybody takes Biden seriously.
  • Dave Casper reveals Biden’s Halloween costume. I knew there was a reason why I didn’t like “Robin Hood”.
  • Sister Toldjah reports an enterprising pilot flew a message over an Obama rally in Florida the other day regarding taxes.
  • Bill Quick discovered a bit of disconnect between the two halves of the ‘Rat ticket over the Second Amendment. If I were more enterprising, I’d probably find more than a bit of disconnect between Biden’s like of shotguns in his collection and his view of firearms in my possession.
  • Jim Geraghty has some bad news for those of us Cheddarheads and 1,000 Lakers suffering from Electionitis – Obama’s doubling down in Wisconsin and Minnesota.
  • Shoebox explains the difference between a manager and a leader. I may not necessarily like where John McCain leads, but I do know Obama is neither a leader nor a manager.
  • Fausta found another high-profile PUMA now supporting McCain.
  • Allahpundit stirs up some 2012 dreaming.
  • Jim Hoft reposts part of the speech Palin would have given to an anti-Ahmadinejad rally had she not been disinvited after Hillary Clinton decided she couldn’t be in the same place as Palin.
  • Doc explains why Palin was disinvited; the oh-so-tolerant Left threatened the tax-exempt status of the host groups after Clinton pulled her rug and Biden decided he couldn’t go after the Mad Mullahs’ puppet.
  • Michelle Malkin brings news of the step back in the perpetual one step forward/one step back dance of McCain – it’s back to full shamnesty. How in the <expletive deleted> do we have both parties supporting shamnesty a mere year after we rose up to shoot it down?
  • Patrick McIlheran explains why Olympia Snowe isn’t as qualified as Palin.

I had a heap on the bailout/socialization of America, but I’m out of time.
