The Silent one already put up an abbreviated Scramble that can’t be missed, but I don’t leave until o-light-hundred (6 am) Wednesday.

- American Pundit reports the GOP is celebrating Barack Obama’s 47th birhtday with tire gauges.
- James Wigderson has the perfect birthday song for Obama.
- Geoff found a full Barack-track on NASA. That’ll get him the 8 Kookcinich votes.
- PUMA Alert! – Ed Morrissey notes Bill Clinton isn’t exactly on board the Obamination Express.
- William Teach discovered a very-special monogrammed seat on the flying version of the Obamination Express – Barack’s Presidential chair.
- Kate nails Obama on his faux-Robin Hood scheme.
- American Pundit fires the Big Oil stone back at the glass house that is Obama.
- Stix does the economic two-step on Obamination Economics.
- Jim Hoft delivers the news that John McCain and the PUMAs have been waiting for – Rasmussen has McCain up.
- James T. Harris proves that reaching across the aisle, even to the co-author of one’s seminal work that was rejected by that person’s opponent, results in a missing hand.
- Billiam has a message for the Left – they’ve overplayed their race-card-filled hand so much, he’s back. Welcome back, my friend, to the show that never ends.
- Marshall Manson exposes the stupidity of the Senate “Ethics” Committee. Seriously, what’s up with trying to crucify Tom Coburn while giving Ted Stevens a pass?
- USCitizen reports the House GOP will continue the Texas Tea Party.
- Flip has more resources for following the Party, including…
- …Amanda Carpenter’s live-blogging from the House.
- Mark Tapscott is calling in the clans. I wish I could be there, but a pre-planned vacation intrudes. Of course, if the party continues into October and AFP’s Defending the American Dream Summit timeline, I’m there.
- Gary Gross yells, “CHAAAAARRRRGGGGEEE!!!!!!”
- Just A Grunt is paying attention to “Ice Road Truckers”. If the Canucks can move an oil rig in 40 days, how in the <expletive deleted> is it going to take 10 years to start drilling in ANWR?
- Cindy Kilkenny finds yet another episode of Presstitute Bias. Not only did McCain join the offshore drilling brigade before Obama supposedly joined (see yesterday’s Scramble for why it’s “supposedly”), but McCain wants to drill more places than the “Gang of 10” that Obama supposedly copied.
- Owen gets what the pressitutes don’t.
- Fred Dooley notes the vast difference in presstitute coverage between a one-‘Rat protest over last year’s Wisconsin budget “gridlock” (never mind the state was continuing to spend the same amount as the previous budget while the new budget was being hammered out) and the lack of presstitute coverage of the Texas Tea Party.
- Scott reports high-ranking Saddam-era Iraqi officials are admitting that the Iraqi WMD program went to Syria in the months leading up to Operation Iraqi Freedom.
- Mike Pechar tells what the presstitutes won’t about the terrorist attack in China – the perps are Islamokazis.
- Eddiebear bemoans Eurabia’s attempt to give bacon a shelf life of the average Obamination campaign quote (i.e. very short).
- Donna Martinez proves that when push comes to shove, the change artists suddenly don’t like change too much. No, this is not an Obamination Update; instead, it’s basic self-preservation. On second thought, is there a difference?
- Bill Quick reminds us that intelligence matters.
- Tom McMahon pictures various sleeping arrangements.
My song was WAAAAAAAAAAY better..
Well, of couwrse inteligance matters! Otherwhyse whos going to make things go?
Sheesh.
Really, Mr. Quick has touched upon an important point. You cannot be so fair as to say everyone is a winner, and “hard work plus perseverence = genius”. Me, I’m an idiot savant. I can do some things really really well, but genius? No, thank God.
I believe that the inability to recognize this is due to the fact that the more ignorant we are of certain topics, the easier it is to under-appreciate the amazing insights required to do things that are way outside of the bell curve.
[Idiot savant pauses and drools at this point, oblivious to the obviousness of the last proclamation.]
