No Runny Eggs

Hope you enjoyed the rising sun, fellow Cheddarheads; we won’t see it for a while…

– Ace notes we’re about to be overrun by cats. Cat-lovers may not want to go to the comments, but there is a bit of good gunplay there (including an M-60 Mk 43 machine gun unloading 850 rounds with a single squeeze of the trigger).
– Gaius found something that gets even some of the Dems to join the rest of society in condemning, namely, Jimmy Carter’s hand-holding with Hamas.
– Meanwhile, doubleplusundead asks Islamic Jihad for Carter, “Why can’t we be friends?”
– It must be Peanut Day here; RidesAPaleHorse dug up a few good pics of the Peanut Farmer. There is just a slight language warning for the last of the pics, so you may not want to scroll all the way down if you’re at work.
– That doesn’t mean I forgot about Barack Obama; Curt skewers Obama’s “Tax the rich, beat the poor, till there are no rich no more” capital gains tax plan.
– Mike notes Obama still doesn’t get why character ultimately matters. I’ll ignore the 8 years between 1992 and 2000.
– JihadGene channels Krazy Kim being Obama’s soulmate on the elitist front.
– Jed is drooling over the latest in flat-panel technology. I don’t think we’ll be rolling it up anytime soon; there’s the fragility problem.
– Staying with technology, Jon Ham likes the forthcoming microcar from VW with a sub-liter engine. Cripes; my 1972 Yamaha R5C’s engine is almost as big as the engine in that (I need to get that thing restored).
– Mary bemoans the death of headstones in “green” cemetaries. I don’t mind the lack of embalming (after all, it’s “ashes to ashes, dust to dust”), but I don’t want to depend on something off-site to find a loved one’s grave.
– Owen found a couple familiar names in the Rezko trial. I knew there was a reason I list Gov. Jim Doyle’s party as “For Sale”. Another presstitute “oddity”; even though Owen’s source is the Journal Sentinel’s Cary Spiva, and the item appeared on both JSOnline’s DayWatch and their Watchdog blog yesterday, there is neither hide nor hair of it in today’s paper.
– Wisconsin State Senator Mary Lazich (R-New Berlin) has your daily reminder that the Democrats do not care about high gas prices as long as government gets the increase. Yes, I know, I covered it in an earlier Scramble, but since I’ve seen one station at $3.699/gallon for regular self-serve unleaded this morning (BP, 13th and Rawson), it’s time to rinse and repeat.
– Ed Driscoll reminds us that, protestations by the Left and the bamboozled Daniel Henninger notwithstanding, the culture wars are not over. I’ll maintain red alert.
– Ed Morrissey asks whether Al Qaeda hired the Baghdad Bob Public Relations Agency. I’ll have to say yes.
– IBD notes that one of the intermediate goals of the Gorebal Warming crowd has been met, even without the US on the Kyoto climate change economy killing diet, but having Red China be the #1 “Gorebal Warming gas” polluter isn’t enough for their fellow (former) Communists.
– Michelle Malkin awards the MSM Poor Taste Award to one of those Gorebal Warming organizations.
– Brian Fraley has a new sacrificial lamb from the left to skewer on his weekly WisPolitics/Capital Times podcast.
