July 28, 2010 In fact, there’s every reason to do so, because we have no idea what that man is capable of. Or his parents, for that matter.
Hi, Mrs. Iowahawk! Happy birthday! May I send you some chocolates, or a new carburetor? I’ll be sending those bank account numbers by email, along with the name of my first dog and my own mother’s maiden name.

July 28, 2010 Glenn’s got the rumblings about it perhaps being an unwise investment, and points out with dark cheer that GM is gambling with our money, now—so they can’t really lose if this turns into a boondoggle.
But here’s the thing: if the government wanted to convince us that the price of elecricity would be going down as gas prices went up, wouldn’t they be approving the construction of nuclear power plants? Instead, we have their allies, writers in elite media outlets, telling us that people on the humid East Coast shouldn’t be running their air-conditioning this time of year—and yet we should all get electric cars. What’s wrong with that picture?
Have you driven a Ford, lately?

July 27, 2010 . . . them apples?
They never get tired of this one.
UPDATE: Elizabeth Leamy isn’t a rube; she’s a rubette. There’s a difference.
And, no: I’m not going to send Ann a note pointing out the typo in her own entry. Last time I did that, she picked a fight with me within 48 hours or so, quoting a line from my post that contained a misspelling and put a little “[sic]” in the passage. Which was fair enough, but I’m done helping her out.
I proofread for money.

July 27, 2010 What’s Troglodyte got that I haven’t got?
(Okay, let me guess: a wicked wit, a bit of actual height, his manhood. And dairy products that aren’t the result of spoiled, protectionist agribusiness . . . . other than that, we’re even-steven. Drink your milk, peasants!)

July 27, 2010 Ads that start talking to you if you so much as move the cursor over them. If anything these are even more than evil than sound-enabled sites, which are at least obnoxious up front.
But anything that starts your speakers without your consent is obnoxious beyond belief.

July 27, 2010 The love that dare not speak its name.
Don’t get me wrong: I’m a big fond of anti-pollution measures, since I had trouble breathing on bad smog days in the past decades, particularly in the valleys. But the kids who think things are getting worse rather than better need to be watching more Starsky & Hutch reruns. Look at the sky, youngsters.

July 27, 2010 I am, apparently, first [sequentially!] in a series on “The League of Extraordinarily Unlinked Bloggers.” Such kind words!
The one thing I feel obligated to point out, since it often gets lost in the shuffle of fairly normal complaining we lower-level and mid-tier bloggers engage in about that cash flow (never enough) and the level of unique visits (also never enough) is that there are many at “the top” who are quite generous with their linkage, including the divine Professor Reynolds. He’s been quite kind to me, really. Would I prefer that Glenn link me once a week? Well . . . yes. But it’s certainly welcome when it happens.
Ditto the boys at Hot Air, and Michelle Malkin. And Jeff and Darleen, and Dan. And even the folks at Ace’s place. They all link me. And every year more and more folks come back out of sheer habit, so I am left to conclude that though I don’t provide a lot of “red meat,” someone likes what I’m doing. Because . . . well, here they are.

July 26, 2010 Yeah, I read through the entire thread at The Daily Caller, and was happy—depite one passage that contained some messed-up formatting—that it provides a useful way of separating the sane left from the batshit crazy left. But I don’t recommend wading through it, for all that. Rather, take a peek at Moe Lane’s summary.
Come on: Bristol Palin might have two uteruses, which would have allowed her to bear both her own child and her mother’s. Who’s to say she doesn’t? Totally plausible, if you just look at the issue through Andrew Sullivan’s eyes. (Unsafe link to Sullivan’s actual blog.)
After all, if there’s a person who knows Sarah Palin’s body enough to judge her decision to fly home for Trig’s birth it wouldn’t be the person who had steered it through the delivery of four babies. It would be Andrew Sullivan! He’s the person who’s qualified how quickly labor would follow after Sarah’s water broke.
I haven’t actually followed his rants closely enough to figure out how Sullivan managed to square Trig’s delivery with Bristol Palin’s subequent pregnancy. Is it the two uteruses—one put to work while the other recovered from Trig’s birth? Or was that Sarah herself, having faked the Trig pregnancy, experienced a real one with Tripp, and camouflaged her real fifth pregnancy on the campaign trail? That’s it!—Sarah and Bristol swapped babies! Trig is Bristol’s child, and Tripp is Sarah’s!

July 26, 2010 Tex99 has a great article up about the speculation regarding who would have collaborated with the Third Reich, had it ever extended into England the U.S.
The original 1941 essay is a wonder to behold in its observations about human nature.
UPDATE: Elizabeth is also on the case.

July 26, 2010 Shirley Sherrod is neither a saint nor a demon; why is that so hard to understand? She had an epiphany about the need to help poor white people as much as poor black people, and that is extremely important.
No, I don’t care for the way she’s characterized Breitbart as someone who wants to reinstate Jim Crow laws or even slavery; this women does have racialist leanings. And Breitbart’s real target, the racists at the NAACP, did cheer and applaud at really inappropriate places during that speech she gave.
But to suggest that the way a relative of hers died is pivotal? Pretty silly.
