What I’m Reading Instead of Working

I’m in a holding pattern, waiting for a client, so I was able to avoid yet another RSS bankruptcy declaration and get my blog fix. So what’s going on in the world?
Slublog notes the Democratic Party implosion, and writes,
Imagine what the head-to-head polls would look like if the conservative base actually liked the GOP nominee. I hope McCain’s campaign realizes that the ‘I’m not Obama’ and ‘the Democrats are worse’ arguments won’t cut it. He’s got to make a positive case for his candidacy by focusing on conservative themes and picking a conservative (hint: not Mike Huckabee) running mate.
Oh, man, would we stomp them. But wait - what’s this “we” stuff? I left the GOP and am now registered Independent due to nonsense like the bipartisan push for open borders headed up by His Maverickness. They just won’t take No for an answer, and it’s not going to be over until the illegals win. And in America, private entities are well within their rights to demand that English be spoken, even if the reason for the demand is a little surprising.
Still, what keeps me generally on board with the GOP is the prospect of a foreign policy nightmare so bad that Obama’s own minions repudiate it. They can’t do anything about this, though - and probably don’t want to, as they get a free pass for it thanks to a complicit media. And speaking of gaffes…
More support for the troops from the far left… if by “support” you mean “harass and threaten.”
As much as America is able to accomplish and to do good in the world, we can’t protect people from their own greed, power-mongering, and stupidity. Here’s hoping it backfires on them.
Carl in Jerusalem has an update on the al Dura hoax. Telling the truth may be a defense against libel charges after all.
Want to vent your spleen against Ted Kennedy? Jay Tea has made a forum available. And unsurprisingly, people have been pretty classy in their responses. Once again, contrast that with the response on the left to Dick Cheney’s heart condition or Tony Snowe’s cancer. Has a single blogger on the right had to close comments on a post the way HuffPo routinely has to close comments on Cheney threads?
The Jawa Report gets some well-deserved kudos from an unexpected source.
