No Runny Eggs

Have at it.

So all the Democrats (including Olympia Snowe) voted for the Baucus Vaporbill version of PlaceboCare. That leaves me too sick to do a proper OTT post, so you’ll just have to send me your links.

Well, Shoebox is likely going to get an inch of snow between Friday night and Saturday, and a wintry mix is slated to fall on top of the bunker Sunday night, so it’s a winter song…

Have at it.

This is the Emergency Blogging System. It has been activated because Steve is playing tourist in DC ahead of the Defending the American Dream summit. We need some appropriate music, and no Uncle Fred is not picking the song…

So, talk amongst yourselves, and find Steve some reading material.

Allergies are simply knocking me flat, so I’m glad it’s Open Thread Thursday. In place of the usual music, I present the best PSA from the late Henry Gibson (from “Kentucky Fried Movie”)…

Have at it.

It’s not Sunday or even Monday, but we’ve got NFL football. There is only one song for this one (and no, it is not Hank Williams)…

I am still hung over from last night, so there won’t be a lot of posting from the Wisconsin end. Good thing it’s Open Thread Thursday. I will have my NFL season and Week 1 previews up later for you gambling degenerates.

I guess I picked a fine time to have an open thread in the midst of a HotAir-lanche. Oh well; it’s Thursday, so have at it, and enjoy some Megadeth/Wile E. Coyote…

I’m headed up to EAA AirVenture with a few good friends, Asian Badger, Chad Hohner and Nick Schweitzer. If everything doesn’t get completely soaked, I should have some pics up either at the end of the day or (more likely) tomorrow.

Good thing it’s Thursday; that means it’s Open Thread Thursday where I try to get you to call the shots and pick up on what Shoebox and I have missed.

Remember, some animals are always more equal than others, especially in Socialist societies…

If it’s Thursday, it’s time for me to really slack off on my blogging, and instead depend on your generosity. Have at it.

It’s Thursday; you know what that means…

I need links, people.

If it’s Thursday, it’s Open Thread Thursday. It’s been a while since we’ve done metal madness…

I’ve got some traveling to do today, so I’ll throw in a few links to start you off (no, this is not the return of The Morning Scramble):

• Today is the Move America Forward Troopathon. It starts at 3 pm (conveniently right after The Ed Morrissey Show), so be there.
• Mary Katharine Ham continues her mad bill-reading skillz.
• Dad29 offers some Cynic Pills to Christian Schneider, who didn’t quite get the connection between the higher cost of health insurance in Wisconsin about to be mandated in Daughter-of-Necrobudget and the final implementation of ObamaCare.
• Dr. Frank S. Rosenbloom explains how $10 tomatoes and government-run health care are related.
• Jazz Shaw breaks out the latest program – the PonyCare program.
• John Lilyea found the gun-grabbers taking the next step and targeting knives.
• Robert Stacy McCain continues on the missing IG hunt. The lack of Inspector Generals is essential to the Chicago ObamiNation Way.
• Jim Geraghty has issued a Milk Carton Alert for Virginia Governor Tim Kaine (D).

I’ve given you the best kind of start, 1,400 megatons worth of links. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go be the press over at Gilles; Rep. Leah Vukmir’s making a special announcement there in less than 44 minutes.

Krazy Kim is threatening to launch a missile at Hawaii (via Michelle Malkin’s Twitter page). The Angry Webmaster wonders whether President Obama will give a damn if his mother state gets nuked. I say, invest in SPF 1,000,000,000 sunblock.

Beyond that, and the $300 million in additional spending and a $485 million tax hike on the majority of Wisconsinites with investments passed in the State Senate’s version of Daughter-of-Necrobudget last night (via JSOnline), I’ve got nothing. Go ahead and fill in the blanks.

Revisions/extensions (8:15 am 6/18/2009) – For those of you outside of Wisconsin (and for those of you who forgot how capital gains in Wisconsin works), Wisconsin currently treats capital gains far differently than the federal government treats capital gains. Instead of classifying capital gains as short-term (less than 1 year of holding the property), medium-term (between 1 and 5 years of holding the property) and long-term (more than 5 years of holding the property) and taxing each group at a separate rate, Wisconsin takes 40% of all capital gains and taxes it at the highest applicable income tax bracket. What the State Senate did, instead of going for a oil company tax. was take the proposal from Doyle, the Joint Finance Committee and the Assembly Democrats to tax 60% of capital gains and make it 100% taxable. I believe Nevada is calling.

It’s Thursday, so let me know what I’m missing. It’s cold, dark and dreary in the land of cheese and beer, so we need blues…

This is the Emergency Blogging System. It has been activated because Steve is either face-down drunk in a Canadian cabin after he realized just how much of a screwing this country has taken in his absence from the keyboard or face-down drunk in a Canadian cabin after a successful few days of fishing (or more-likely, both). Since he will still be gone for a couple more days in either case, and because it’s Thursday, it’s time for another round of Open Thread Thursday.

One thing we need is some music, and George Thorogood is appropriate…

You are instructed to continue to enjoy the works of the guest-bloggers. This concludes the EBS portion of this post.

I will be on the road much of the day, so I won’t be doing a lot of posts. The comm-box is open.

My allergies are knocking me flat, and it’s Thursday, so it’s time for another edition of Open Thread Thursday. Have at it.

If it’s Thursday, it’s time for another try at an Open Thread. I’ve even dug up a deep cut for you…

The reason there’s the blues today is that new jobless claims are up more than they were expected to rise, while continuing jobless claims continue to set brand-new records.

I beg you – find something positive for me.

I just haven’t had energy the last couple days, so those few readers I still have, it’s time to feed the beast.

It’s raining, but the Brewers are finally above .500. What’s on your mind?

There’s so many topics out there, but I have so little energy. Consider this the open thread.

I’m still well under the weather, so all I’ve got is some rare acoustic Jimi Hendrix…

There’s enough out there, so please share with the class.

I’m so late with this, I’ll forgo the usual Scramble portion. I’ve just been buried pretty much since getting back from CPAC.

The thread is yours.
