LinkSwarm for August 3, 2012

A random compilation of vaguely interesting news that you may have already read elsewhere. So it goes:

  • The definition of FAIL: trying to escape police in a Smart Car:

    (Hat tip: Dwight.)

  • Obama has secretly killed all the 1990s welfare reforms. Hope to do a longer piece on this when I have the time.
  • If I really, really wanted to make modern feminists look bad and out-of-touch, how could I do it? Well, I could create a fictional character that a New York City writer call Ann Romney a “traitor” for daring to raise children rather than getting a job. But suppose even that weren’t enough. Suppose that I really, really wanted to make people hate this character. How far would could I push it? How about I make her a narcassitic drug-addict! (The Frisky nails it as Linkbait.)
  • Speaking of loathsome liberals, how about this Internet Tough Guy of the Year berating a poor Chick-fil-A drive through attendant over gay marriage?

    That’s some industrial strength stupidity right there, Mr. Adam Smith: videotaping yourself being King of the Douchebags and then putting it up on YouTube yourself. What possible go wrong? Beside, you know, your company firing you for being King Douchebag.

  • Clint Eastwood makes Mitt Romney’s day.
  • Porn star Jenna Jameson endorses Mitt Romney, increasing the chances his campaign will have a happy ending.
  • Democratic special interest groups are laying out big bucks to try to defeat San Antonio incumbent congressman Francisco “Quico” Canseco.
  • Tennessee’s Democratic Party disavows its own Senate candidate for the “hate crimes” of being against abortion and gay marriage.
  • Colorado family unable to evict squatters from their home. (Hat tip: Dana Loesch.)
