Sorry about missing yesterday; I was still wiped out from my 700-mile bonzai run to Centerfield for the Grizzly Groundswell pre-convention party, where I finally met Shoebox, ran into Fausta and Eric (along with the Chicago Cannonball) again, and met Stix, Cyberpastor and Mrs. CP, and the gang from Grizzly Groundswell. Somehow, I didn’t get the word to guide Sean Hackbarth into the fun until after I was on the way back home; sorry about that.
In any case, that’s not why I’m running today’s song; it’s because see-dubya (who I’ve called “The Super Sub” for his guest-blogging stints on Hot Air and Michelle Malkin’s site) is hanging up his blogging spurs…

At least it was morning when I started this. You don’t want to know how many posts I went through to get to these.
- Jon Ham noted Sarah Palin, when offered an American flag to sign, signed the pole instead of the flag. If I weren’t already sold on her, that would’ve completed the sale.
- Ed Morrissey found the first female VP nominee calling Palin’s pick “historic”.
- John Hawkins explains why Palin was a “brilliant choice”.
- Selwyn Duke questions the wisdom of the pick (and that was before the Bristol Palin pregnancy became known).
- Speaking of that, Dr. Melissa Clouthier has the definitive wrap.
- BrewFan summarizes my thoughts on that.
- Tom McMahon expands the 4-Block World by 2 to explain the not-so-hypothetical.
- Uncle Jimbo reminds us that it is Alaska’s National Guard that’s running the ABM missiles poised to protect the US from missile attack. Care to guess their commander-in-chief is?
- Lance Burri and Jim Hoft report from the front lines of the
protestorsanarchists that have descended on the Twin Cities like locusts. - Pam found some wayward protestors. It’s a shame the St. Paul police didn’t point them in the general direction of the Mississippi and invite them to jump in.
- Allahpundit found PUMAs continuing to desert the Obamination Express.
- Jim Geraghty is wondering if the Obamination Express will borrow from New Jersey. While they may yet dump Plugs, there’s no way they’ll get the head PUMA back up off the jungle floor.
- Ace laughs at the Obamination Express’ attempt to make experience matter.
- Bull Dog Pundit cheers the “experience” trap ensaring the bus. Guess that calls for a 2-song Scramble…

- RightwingSparkle has the latest Obamination Express sticker.
- Heather Radish crunches the numbers on small-town America.
- Ace found that Joe Biden, noted Mad Mullah cheerleader, told the Israelis that in the event he becomes Vice President, Iran will become nuclear. Either HopeAndChange doesn’t work on theocratic thugs or the Obamination Express really wants said theocratic thugs to have the weapons capable of igniting their apocalyptic visions (or both).
- Owen isn’t buying the pro-forma denials of the above item.
- Stephan Tawney found Biden unable to stick to his “no political attacks today” call. I’m shocked, SHOCKED that a DhimmiRAT would forget what he said.
- Mark McNally found the PUMA FAQ.
- Mary wonders where all the “free-speech” liberals are. I hate to break the news that they’re not about free speech, but about power by every means possible, especially if it involves hypocrisy.
- Professor Stephen Bainbridge notes there is no Rebel Yell on either ticket.
- Allahpundit notes that, in the event of an Obama win, things will be wide open on the Republican side come 2012 as there won’t be a “next in line” (i.e., no Mitt Romney).
- William Teach found an illegal alien doing two jobs Americans won’t do; working for a ‘Rat as a ranchhand and killing people.
- Michelle Malkin found the pressitutes couldn’t even wait until Palin was on-stage Friday to unleash their sexist insults.
- Allahpundit busts the first lieberal meme about Palin. It was all-too-easy for him because they cut apart his video to spread it.
- Jeni did what Charlie Sykes would call a flagrant act of journalism, went through the donations from Gannett higher-ups, and compared that to Gannet’s “Ethics” policy. I’m shocked, SHOCKED to find out that 30 Gannett bigwigs donated to the Obamination Express.
- Jim Geraghty asks whether the
MLSM is just the Kos/Sullivan publicists. The fact that he asked the question ought to be a clue on the answer. - John juxtaposes the presstitutes’ non-coverage of John Edwards’ love child with the non-stop Palin slams.
- Bill Quick notes that August will be the first month in a century without sunspots. Unspoken scientific fact; the last 3 mini-Ice Ages have been tied to a lack of sunspot activity.
- Fred Keller highlights recent events in the restoration of the Soviet Union.
- The Wisconsin Institute for Leadership held a memorial service for Wisconsin jobs. In the less-than-6-years of the Jim Doyle administration, there have been 4 (5 if the job gets filled) Commerce Secretaries.
- Jib has some odd
GreekWisconsin factoids. - James Wigderson wonders whether the homosexual crowd is going to be successful in buying Wisconsin like they did Colorado.
Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
