No Runny Eggs

I missed the blues on Thursday, so let there be blues today.

• Before I get to the meat of the weekend, I have to note something that I really need to add my way-outside-the-power $0.02 cents to, specifically the latest part of the ongoing discussion on where the right end of the online presence goes from here. John Hawkins has a second part to that. I hope to have my nearly-8-years of thoughts together by Wednesday; I’m just too busy right now.
• Now, on to your irregularily-scheduled Scramble; Slublog says to not trust the pollsters. If you haven’t voted by Tuesday afternoon, don’t look at the exit polls, or indeed the early-state returns.
• Stix1972 lists the three head games the press organs for the Obama/Biden campaign will be playing. Again, I stress, at least if you’re going to vote for the McCain/Palin ticket, to not believe the hype.
• Tom McMahon encapsulates what to expect after Tuesday in an instant-classic 4-Block. I do have to disagree with the lower-right; in that case, Mitt Romney is the next in line.
• E.M. Zanotti has yet another reason to vote for the McCain/Palin ticket; a win will send the entire celebrity universe into debilitating depression.
• Jim Geraghty has a reason to thank Wile E. Thompson (suuuuper genius and Packers GM) for forcing Brett Favre to the New York Jets – their pre-election record is a very good predictor of results, missing only once. Every time the Jets have had at least 5 wins before Election Day, the Republican candidate for President has won, while the Democratic one has won 5 of 6 times the Jets didn’t have at least 5 wins. By the way, the Jets have 5 wins.
• Michelle Malkin found an instance where the ‘Rats want investigations into whistle-blowers; John Conyers has called for an investigation into how Barack Obama’s aunt’s illegal alien status became news. There’s still no word from the ‘Rats on the abuses of power done to try to break Joe the Plumber (which has backfired spectacularily; he has endorsed the McCain/Palin ticket on today’s Fox and Friends).
• Jay found said aunt under the Obamination Express. Who knew that bus had room for one more family member </sarcasm>.
• Today’s ObamiNation In Your Face Violence Tour update, part 1 – Sean M. reports the Yolo County (CA) Republican headquarters had its windows smashed in.
• Today’s ObamiNation In Your Face Violence Tour update, part 2 – Stable Hand reports that a liberal talk show host aired a death threat against Joe the Plumber.
• Today’s ObamiNation In Your Face, No Violence Edition Tour update – I reported on a couple of Obama supporters who were arrested for stealing McCain/Palin signs in Burlington, WI.
• Doc combines both halves of yesterday’s Obama energy policy meme – death to coal and extremely-high electric rates.
• Kathy Carpenter reports that the ever-lowering Obama middle-class bar has dropped to $50,000-$70,000.
• John McAdams pictured trick or trick at the Obama residence.
• Phil breaks out the Wimpy line for Obama’s continued refusal to hold a press conference.
• Charles Johnson found yet another example of the Obama campaign ripping off old Soviet propaganda posters.
• Jim Hoft caught Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) proving that Obama doesn’t have the intestinal fortitude to be President, as Nadler said that Obama didn’t have the political courage to leave Jeremiah Wright’s racist church.
• John McCormack caught Nadler wishing for the reformation of the old Soviet Union with Georgia as part of the empire.
• Staying in New York, lawhawk caught Charlie Rangel (D-NY) illegally using campaign funds to pay his legal team who represented him in a tax-scam scandal. For those that don’t recall, Rangel is the chair of the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee.
• Rick Moran brings the Middle America view of the election to the blogosphere.
• Jay Nordlinger busts the myth that the Republican Party is the Party of the Rich.
• Sister Toldjah found two new media studies that prove that presstitute coverage has been overwhelmingly favorable to Obama. As James Taranto would say if he still did the Best of the Web, “What would we do without studies?”
• Jeni reports that Gannett is still in full slash-and-burn-jobs mode. LSM, RIP.
• Back to lawhawk – he relays a report that the raid in Syria targeting an Al Qaeda bigshot was done with the approval of the Syrian government.
• Conservative Belle found yet another “victim” of the economic downturn – Code Pink. In this case, I’m celebrating.
• Huckleberry Dumbell has the sign of the times. While he put up the falling coyotes warning for Packer football, it’s equally-appropriate for the political sphere.

I’ll have my extended endorsements up in a while, but the very-short version – despite the likelyhood that the Republicans will continue the march toward Western Europe, they are infinitely preferable to the Rats’ and their march toward Eastern Europe circa 1985. Also, be Dr. No on the local tax-and-spend-and-tax-some-more referenda.
