Tuesday Tidbits: Summit League edition
Miscellany (amusing things not fitting above, or below):
Canada drops plans for politically correct anthem
Florida (Of Course): Woman Causes Crash Because She's Shaving Her Privates While Driving
'I'm Really Starting to Believe This Stuff Only Happens in the Keys' -- More on the above . . .
"Riddle paused in his sexual activity and noticed the knife sticking out of his back."
Author and futurist sees a bright future for KC — if we welcome the new look America
Thief sneaks softly, carries a big walrus tusk out of Teddy Roosevelt's New York home
Chart of the Day -- Funny.
SECTION THREE: Politics: The neverending battle against blithering idiocy:
People doing potentially good things (including sightings of politicians doing something less than totally idiotic):
Consent of the Governed -- In November, the people really, really need to emphatically Remove Our Consent from the yahoos currently screwing things up from Washington (and from state capitals, too, and from most big city halls . . . )
Call to Arms: Be a Minuteman Lobbyist -- People need to be careful with the "call to arms" stuff, though . . .
A Call to Arms– Stand With Us In St. Louis… We Have Only 10 Days to Stop Obamacare! Join Us Now
Finally, a Candidate With Ultra-Private-Sector Experience Who Reads Mises, Hayek, Friedman, Rand...
The cure for blithering idiocy: freedom and individual liberty (yeah, I know--ooh, ick, philosophy!):
Put That Thing Away! -- 'Is that a gun in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?'
The Conservation of Liberty
The Natural Order
Politics, otherwise difficult to classify:
Who gets to run against the big bad Congress?
Will Millennials become the chump generation? -- They already are, whether they realize it or not . . .
We're an American Man -- Pick "Other" and write in "American" on your Census form. Pass it on.
Is Justice Scalia Abandoning Originalism?
The reality of President Obama and his entire Administration as blithering idiots:
Dem Rep. Massa May Rescind Resignation; Says Rahm Emanuel Is “Son of Devil’s Spawn” (Audio)
Eric Massa: Rahm Emanuel Fingered Me In the Shower! -- "Well, he did say that. Sort of."
Foreign Policy – why isn’t it working?
LOCKED OUT!… Obama Won’t Let Public In to Hear His Health Care Speech in St. Louis– PROTESTS PLANNED -- HOPE! CHANGE! TRANSPARENCY! CHICAGO-STYLE THUGGERY AND BACKROOM DEALING!
Eric Massa’s a bit miffed
And Bush Was The Idiot?
President Obama, Who’s “Not Campaigning Anymore” Sure Looks Like He’s Campaigning
The Obama Hope-End-War sign is already tattered... -- Althouse is making a list, and checking it twice . . .
From “Nudge” to Shove
Do you miss him yet?
The Dems Don’t Trust Obama – for Good Reason
Fed Audit Bitterly Opposed By Treasury -- Any guesses as to why they don't want you to see what they're doing?
The reality of Washington Democrats (and Independents, and Socialists) as blithering idiots:
The Reconciliation Process: Reconciling or Tearing the Nation Apart
Question: Is the Democrat Party balkanizing into all out war on multiple destructive fronts?
As The System Of Checks And Balances Disintegrates, Congress Becomes A Messy Signing Statement -- Is it really too much to ask that Presidents, Representatives, and Senators actually read and comprehend the Constitution they swear to uphold?
Other blithering idiots at large making life difficult for regular folks:
Dispatches from the Corporate State -- Corporations=generally good. Government=dangerous, but useful. Corporations+Government=bad things, Maynard.
On Any Top Ten List of ‘Really Bad Ideas for Blog Post Titles’ . .
Not Too Bright
Government Protects Us From Unlicensed Beer
Opposition Research: because blithering idiocy can be dangerous, especially when organized into idiotic groups with idiotic ideologies:
Wisconsin AG charges five with election fraud, two from ACORN -- Democrats lie. And they steal elections, when they can get away with it. It's what they do. If you're a Democrat, you're supporting this kind of behavior, you know.
Ungovernable Savages?
A Biometric ID Card for all American Workers?
The Keith Olbermann Memorial "Special Comment" on blithering idiots in the Media:
What Really Killed Journalism -- I think Watergate will eventually be remembered as the death stroke for this particular iteration of "objective" journalism--it's where the ink stained wretches wearing out their shoe leather, scratching and clawing and digging for a story began their transformation into The Information High Priests Who Will Change The World.
Palin: "We Used to Hustle Over the Border [to Canada] For Healthcare" -- Which is apparently being spun to somehow support nationalized health care, even while Palin's trips across the border occurred before Canada created their national health care system. They think you're stupid. Are they right?
About That "Sarah Palin Going To Canada For Health Care" Story...-- Even Reason's Nick Gillespie-no Palin fan-comes down on "her" side of this one. They think you're stupid. Are they right?
"No More Traffic" Blog Proves Our Point For Us (Update: Ultra-Liberal Lawrence O'Donnell Admits Yukon Did Not Have Single-Payer Until 1972)
SECTION FOUR: Case Studies in Blithering Idiocy
"Global warming" aka "Climate change" -- or should that be "Climate Reform?":
Congress should do the right thing—nothing
NSIDC Reports That Antarctica is Cooling and Sea Ice is Increasing
Today Barcelona. Tomorrow, the world!
Health care "reform" aka health insurance "reform" -- or should that be health care "change?" Perhaps "Global healthing?:
Obama to "Fix" Health Insurance -- Obama's word games . . .
Another Stupak Dem Flips "No"
200 Tea Party Patriots Protest Obama’s “Closing Argument” Speech in Philadelphia
If You Like Obama's Lies About Your Health Care Plan, He Can Keep Lying About Your Health Care Plan
Dem congressman: We may have as little as 201 votes for ObamaCare
Lipinski flips to No on Obamacare
The ObamaCare/Reconciliation ploy is a trial run for much more including total takeover of student loans
Field Trip to Obama's Health Care Speech in Philadelphia
Defeat vs. Repeal
Question for the President -- It's a good question . . .
More Obama Wordplay on Healthcare

Kollege Kockup: Something Is Not Right In Higher Ed
Green Movement, Incompetence, Proving Very Expensive for California
Foreign affairs and National Security (Will blithering idiots get us all killed, or make us all speak Spanish--or Chinese--or Arabic--or all three?):
Poll: 51% Think US Less Respected Around World Than It Was Under the Fiend Bush -- But, but, but . . . this wasn't supposed to happen! Barack was the Lightbringer! He was The One! He was going to stop the ocean's rise and magically transform economics to give everyone a chicken in every pot and two cars in every garage and free heart transplants for EVERYBODY!!!
Obama's Iran Policy Collapses to the Accompaniment of Mockery Around the Globe
Swiss voters are, in fact, sane
The Morning Whip is a (mostly) daily review of what's out there that caught my attention, sometimes but not always posted before 11 am Central time in the U. S. of A., unless I just don't feel like it that day, am out doing something more important or more fun, or I've been abducted, detained, arrested, or otherwise flummoxed by the agents of blithering idiotry.
I surf the Web, so you don't have to! (which would be a trademark, but come on, who am I kidding?)
