The From the Frontlines webathon was a smashing success. They wanted $500,000; thanks to the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Michelle Malkin, and everybody who donated, they got $1,055,719 as they went off the air. Bravo Zulu! Just as a reminder, the donation window is open until July 2.
It’s fitting, yet sad that Rush is at Summerfest tonight; I’ve been looking for a good time to break this one out, and a trip out of Milwaukee is as good of time as any…

This is going to be a bit abbreviated because I’m actually putting it together just before midnight, and I’m putting it up right at midnight.
- Karl reminds us that another conservative victory came out of SCOTUS; the axing of the “Millionares’ Amendment”.
- The Vintage One caught Reuters projecting their hatred of hunting on Justice Antonin Scalia. Score another point in the book for the Italian.
- Curt found something disturbing in the Heller decision. Honestly, if the Lawgivers-In-Black ever get a solid majority on SCOTUS instead of relying on the coin flip that’s Anthony Kennedy, the presence or absence of that phrase won’t matter a bit; they just make it up anyway.
- Marshall Manson and the other two denziens of On Tap say that it was actually Roberts’ majority.
- Speaking of Jim Geraghty, he reports the NRA is going after Chicago’s handgun ban. Stay on target. Stay on target!
- Uncle Jimbo smacks down the L-I-B.
- Robert found a pic of the Justices that explains a lot.
- Teresa notes how far Obama has moved since 2000 on foreign policy. Of course, I don’t necessarily consider adopting the Algore/Joe Lieberman standard a sign of maturity, but retreat-and-defeat is still worse.
- Jessi has the Obamination cartoon of the day.
- William Teach has half a cheer for Obama on the UN-Fairness Doctrine. Just remember Geraghty’s Maxim – every Obama statement has an expiration date.
- Dad29 chalks up another cure for adult stem cells. Embryonic stem cells have yet to get on the board, but don’t expect the Culture of Death™ to stop
tryingkilling. - Fred Keller has the top 10 reasons to support ANWR development. Paging Mr. McCain. Paging Mr. Sensenbrenner. Please pick up the diamond-tipped drill.
Unless I pop pack in here in the am, the next time you’ll hear from me, I’ll be on Michigan time.
