This one’s dedicated to Sean Hackbarth, who will be the online communications specialist for the Senate Republican Conference as of Monday. Just don’t ask me how Fausta got a hold of pics from the back-to-work celebration.

So, it’s afternoon; brunch lasts until 3 on Sundays, and I did start this in the morning, so it’s all good.
- William Smith highlights the difference between Barack Obama and John McCain in a non-scripted environment.
- Purple Avenger tracks the latest in the Washington Pum…er, Post’s PUMA-like activities. Nothing like having a guy with a “tissue-thin” and “troubling” record (the WaPo’s words, not mine) being the presumptive nominee. I’m beginning to wonder whether the Obamination Express will make it to Invesco Field.
- JammieWearingFool dug up a salient fact about Obama’s Hawaiian mentor that The News Organization That Cannot Be Quoted™ “missed”.
- Amanda Carpenter sniffed out the non-change in Obama’s opposition to off-shore drilling before I did, and she even used the extended quote from Friday to do it (I went with the Saturday flop to Friday’s flip). Bonus coverage; the “Gang of 10’s” energy “plan” is a very costly one; $20 billion over 10 years and 85% of the cars illegal to run in 20.
- Jim Hoft caught Obama dealing race card after race card from the bottom of the deck. To paraphrase AC/DC – I know what Obama’s dealing out, and I want him dealt back.
- Owen proves it’s all about emotion for the Obama Nation.
- Jeff Emanuel reports that Eric Cantor is officially on the short list for McCain VP choices, as the campaign requested “personal documents” from him. Flashback – Matt Wolking called it a couple weeks back (though he was a bit off on the timing).
- The Vintage one likes that news. So do I, as long as McCain waits for Obama to name his VP nominee first.
- Caledonia Unplugged reported from the balcony (side note – she gave up a reserved seat for that) on McCain’s townhall meeting in Racine. Yep, it was the peanut gallery (though not because of her).
- Trail-Mix has a nice little diversion from the McCain campaign. Nothing like emulating a timeless arcade classic (yes, I spent many quarters in arcades back in the day).
- Elliot asks the question the presstitutes and their fellow travellers on the Left are dreading – “What if McCain wins?” I’ll answer – Mass hysteria.
- Of course, not all the McCain news is good – A.J. Sparxx asks McCain which side he’s on. It still is a very good question.
- Sgt. Relic sings an ode of sorts for Nancy “Lights Out” Pelosi.
- Jim Lynch took a picture of the House as Lights Out turned out the lights.
- Jim Hoft notes the lifeboats are starting to fill over at the Party of the ‘Rat. I’m not surprised; the public portion of Operation Chaos/NRE Spring Hill Campaign is over, and there is no benefit to remaining a DINO for those that participated.
- Michelle Malkin quotes Chesty Puller as advice for the House Pubbies. Do not miss the Photoshop from Jim Hoft.
- Fausta found the real reason for Anheuser-Busch sold out to the Belgians; taxes. And yet Obama and the ‘Rats want ever-higher taxes, even as the Europeans cut theirs.
- Bill Quick fisks the gripes of the presstitutes. Judging by the comments left by the professional gripers, it is a shame copy editing is a lost art.
- Lawhawk proves that it’s not just the presstitutes that file the dispatches that need a copy editor; it’s headline writers as well. I didn’t know the Taliban had flying mines until The News Organization That Cannot Be Quoted™ told me so.
- Tom McMahon charts the newspaper business model.
- Bruce finds the next presstitute-driven health crisis – text messaging.
- B.C. the Imperial Torturer hammers another nail into the coffin of the Great Glow Bull Worming Consensus Coffin™. The Great Gorebal Bravo Sierra Awakening has not quite hit NASA like a jet of solar plasma yet, but it’s starting.
- Curt wraps up the Week in Gorebal “Warming”.
- Aberman explains in change form (literally) how more future drilling reduces the price of oil today.
- Mark Block explains the economic costs the
Doyle Gorebal “Warming” Task ForceGorebal “Warming” acolytes at the World Resources Institute refused to take into consideration. - Matt Burden is shocked (no, not shocked, SHOCKED; that will come later) that members of the Coast Guard are now eligible to become SEALs. Fortunately, it doesn’t look like the requirements are being relaxed any.
- Zip has some news sure to outrage just about everybody along the political spectrum. Tyson Foods, with the blessing of the leadership of the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union, is dropping Labor Day as a paid holiday at its Shelbyville, Tennessee plant so they can give employees a paid vacation for, wait for it, wait for it, wait…for…it…the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr.
- Fausta reports that the Iranians are giving missile technology to Venezuela. There are variants of the Shahab-3 missile that would reach southern Florida from Venezuela.
- Rick Moran sees similarities between the 1936 Berlin Olympics and the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Hopefully history does not continue to repeat itself, though I wouldn’t mind another Olympic-sized smackdown of a “master race” to happen before the future begins to diverge significantly from the past.
- Uncle Jimbo and Laughing Wolf are competing for your vote to be a co-host for a new Discovery Channel series called “Super Testing”. I can definitely see either guy having a blast (literally).
- B.C. delivers the Sarcasm Smackdown™ to Philadelphia’s Department of Human Services, which stood by as a disabled 14-year-old girl wasted away from neglect before dying at 42 pounds. These are the same <expletive deleted> that want to ru(i)n everybody’s health care.
- Bill Quick catches the Centers for Disease Control cooking the HIV books for political reasons. I’m shocked, SHOCKED that a lieberal-controlled gubmint agency would lie to make things seem worse than they are.
- Jackboot has the Great 2008 Moonbat Test. I’m proud to state that I did not identify with any of the memes; I don’t want to get on the wrong side of the Imperial Torturer.
