LinkSwarm for April 9, 2012

Monday, April 9th, 2012

A LinkSwarm to start your day with:

  • Today’s Democrat calling her fellow Texans bigots comes to you from Rep. Donna Howard (D-Austin).
  • How the story of today’s media transformation is being written by the losers: “We should not expect anything like impartial analysis from people whose very livelihoods—and those of their close friends—are directly threatened by their subject matter.”
  • Want a glimpse of where health care is headed if ObamaCare isn’t repealed or overturned? In the UK, doctors told a woman to find another provider because her carbon footprint to visit them was too large. All two miles of driving worth. (Hat tip: Say Uncle.)

  • “Please excuse Kelly Lee McCarty from her job at the Texas Water Development Board because she was sick and has to spend five days of bed rest. Signed, Epstein’s Mother.”
  • Sen. John Cornyn notes the failure of Obama’s cheeseburger diplomacy with Russia.

  • Mark Davis leaving WBAP?

    Texas LinkSwarm for Tuesday, April 19, 2011

    Tuesday, April 19th, 2011
  • Texas leads all states in attracting major plant openings. Includes extensive quotes from Governor Rick Perry on why Texas does so well.
  • By contrast, companies are streaming out of California. How’s that Blue State model working out for you, Golden State?
  • Holly Hansen endorses Brian Sellers and David Dziadziola for the Round Rock Independent School District election coming up in May.
  • In a non-political Texas story, wild fires continue to rage out near Possum Kingdom Lake. I mention that mainly as an excuse to embed the finest song the Toadies ever did:
