Nightly Ramble:BEER!; Gas Prices And Democrats; Maps And Other Stuff;more

• I have to wonder if the mostly manufactured response over Gramm’s comments as I mentioned this morning, isn’t an effort to squelch the noise over Jessie Jackson’s call to castrate Obama.
• Ya know, speaking of Jackson… I had a passing

• How busy has our Congress been, this current session? Here you go. No, I’m not impressed either. Well, actually, I am… that they’re still not in jail.
• Democrats are finally starting to reverse course… at least publicly, about increased

• Boortz, today, says:
  

  Thomas Sowell has a great article on Barack Obama: “Many are for him for no more serious reasons than his mouth and his complexion.” That’s true, Mr. Sowell … but are you a racist for saying so?

• So, Ezra Klien is miffed that the New York Times didn’t write a hit peice on Limbaugh?  Ask me again why I’m ever more unimpressed by Klien.
• At some point, someone’s going to make mention of the idea that both

• It amazes me, the amount of grave dancing going on with Jesse Helms. I won’t even bother linking it, but I note LGF already has. You’d think the left would recall that the Ted Kennedy and Jimmy Carter are waiting

• McQ notes that Wind power isn’t the Panacea that the left likes to make it out to be. He also make the rather obvious observation that there’s no real Democrat plan for our energy needs. Good that someone’s noticing.
• Iraq

• Hey, Bruce… I would argue they ARE in fact consumer driven, and have been so, all along. Consumer demand for Altoids boxes on wheels has simply not been there, and so they didn’t get built.  Couple that with the idea

OK, I’m back. Well, really I was back yesterday, but because my hours were so screwy Friday and Saturday because of the Fostoria Ohio trip, I really wasn’t fully back into it, all day on Sunday, and frankly, I’m still

• Not that it ever amounted to much anyway, but Fox Business blog notes that the gas tax holiday went bye bye, before it ever got going. And let’s be honest, here, 18.4 cents at the pump doesn’t even scratch the

• Look, left-o-shere… if you’re that pissed at the Democrats in Congress over FISA and whatever else,  that you’re going to waste all our time and bandiwth with your screaming, does that mean you will be doing America a favor and

• I see Don Imus is in trouble again. Gee, what a shock, huh? Look, let’s be honest here; PacMan Jones is about as worthless a human being as one might ever be able to contrive.  As Imus points out,

• Billy passes along a list of articles from Investor’s Busienss Daily, thirty in all inclduing a couple I’ve linked previously. It’s a must read, if you really want the unspun facts.
• Bruce talks here about the Politics of Drilling.

• Interesting post over at OTB on the finding of a possible cause for homosexuality. this raises all the poits I raised as  far back as 1998, as you’ll see in the comments, there.  Oh, they’re apparently getting very close indeed

• One of these days I’ve really gotta send Gaius over at Blue Crab Blvd a six-pack, just on G.P.. (Do beings that walk sideways drink beer? OK, dumb question. Depends how much they’ve had. Gotcha.)  The guy’s out there slugging

• Twice this week we’ve started with a Bruce McQuain post. Unusual, but worthy. Bruce notes AL Gore’s endorsement of Obama, yesterday and says If Al wants him, I sure don’t … Interestingly, Fox has been running a headline reading: Gore
