LinkSwarm for February 1, 2013

Friday, February 1st, 2013

I would say that this was a busy week, but every week is a busy week these days.

  • The only sitting black United States Senator is a Republican…at least until John Kerry’s replacement is sworn in.
  • Speaking of Kerry, Scott Brown won’t be running for his seat. I guess he’s had enough Bqhatevwr.
  • The New York Times finally deigns to notice that New Jersey Democratic Senator Robert Menendez committed statutory rape.
  • Ed Koch, RIP.
  • Steve Croft embarasses himself with his Clinton/Obama brown-nosing.
  • BATF tries to run a sting operation. The result? A lost machine gun, lost confidential information, $35,000 in stolen merchandise, and $15,000 unpaid bills.
  • “Gee, wouldn’t it be nice if the world had exactly zero guns in it? Then your daughter could fistfight her rapist.”
  • Inside Evin, Iran’s most infamous prison.
  • Can anyone tell me why some Austin workers are represented by the United Auto Workers? Do they build cars?
  • For Black History Month, here are Frederick Douglass quotes Including: “I am a Republican, a black, dyed in the wool Republican, and I never intend to belong to any other party than the party of freedom and progress.”
  • Best Twitter quote this week comes, strangely enough, from game show host Chuck Woolery: “The Constitution is not outdated, it is just an inconvenience to progressives. They hate it. I love it. You should too.”
  • Ahem:

  • LinkSwarm for May 27, 2012

    Sunday, May 27th, 2012

    Woke up entirely too early this morning, so here’s a big old bag of randomness:

  • Wisconsin Democratic recall candidate Tom Barrett manicuplated crime figures as Mayor of Milwaukee. (Hat tip: Jim Geraghty.) Shades of Tom Leppert. Or Tommy Carcetti.
  • I wonder if the “Choom Gang” VW Microbus our 44th President and his friends used to habitually smoke pot in also had tools and rakes and implements of destruction in it.
  • The UAW is broke.
  • America is defying the demographic doom befalling other nations.
  • “Non-Partisan” redistricting commissions aren’t.
  • Do liberals actually expect this patronizing, passive-aggressive condescension toward Judge Roberts to work? I’d like to believe that treating the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States of America as though he’s as easy to manipulate as an insecure teenage girl would be counterproductive if it weren’t so transparently laughable.
  • Huge land swindle/ponzi scam out near Manor. And where was the Statesman for this huge story in its own backyard? “No results found for “Natalia Wolf” site:statesman.com.”
  • Today’s amusing hashtag #MovieswithObama.
  • Remember when every car bomb in Lebanon was front page news? Now a bomb that kills 100 isn’t.
