LinkSwarm for May 12, 2012

All sorts of stories bubbling away in various states of completion. In the meantime, here’s a nice Saturday LinkSwarm that includes some (but not all) of the links I’ve put up on my twitter feed:

  • We’ve gotten use to Democratic office holders in Texas switching to the Republican Party, but I don’t think we’ve ever seen all the Democratic officeholders in a county switch at the same time, which is what just happened in Throckmorton County, including the sheriff, county judge, clerk, treasurer, justice of the peace and three commissioners.
  • Texas Democrats give up on Texas Democrats. “Of the $21 million Texas Democrats have given to candidates running for federal office, Super PACs and party political committees in the 2012 election, only $4.8 million has gone to candidates from Texas.”
  • Today’s Texas Democrat under federal investigation for corruptions comes to you from Cameron County DA Armando Villalobos, who’s also running for U.S. congress in the newly created 34th congressional district.
  • Could Wisconsin be the first domino to fall?
  • Speaking of Texas Democrats, a look at the fake Texans for Individual Rights, run Mark McCaig, the same person who runs the fake Conservative Voters of Texas and the legal associate of personal injury trial lawyer (and top Democratic Party donor) Steve Mostyn. McCaig has also been a constant foe of Texans for Lawsuit Reform.
  • Young Conservatives of Texas would like for former member McCaig to stop using their name to smear conservatives.
  • Texas tax revenue up for 25th straight month in a row, up 10.9% compared to April 2011.
  • Dick Morris: “Romney should win in a landslide.”
  • Slamming RINOs and referencing Forbidden Planet? I like the cut of Michael Walsh’s jib.
  • Claire Berlinski attends a Turkish dinner party.
  • In Argentina, as with everywhere else, nationalization sucks.
  • Obama can’t crack down on Wall Street fraud because his team is far too cozy with the perpetrators.
  • A look at how the Obama fundraising team operates.
  • Charles Murray gets a letter from a Fishtown school teacher.
  • Is Columbia getting ready to legalize drugs?
  • Germany considers banning Salfists. (Hat tip: Michael Totten sitting in for Instapundit.)
  • Old and busted: Objective-C. The new hotness:Objectivist-C, the programming language of rational self-interest.
