SOBer Thoughts (091007)
Congrats to Maggie Thurber on starting what appears to be a budding radio career.

Boring Made Dull (”John Edwards and Healthcare“): …. “Let’s see – mandatory exams for every American. One wonders what the penalties are for not going – no knock raids, with the offenders carted off to the Doc-In-A-Box? Fines? Loss of healthcare privileges? Offenders put into stocks in the town square? Mandatory organ donation?”

EyeHacker (”Chuckie’s Worried”) gives Chuck Schumer his due. The thing that’s maddening about Schumer’s claim, even beyond its obvious slander of our troops, is that it’s one of a half-dozen or so trial balloons just being thrown out there to see if something, anything, might resonate with the American people. If the defeat lobby finds one, Old Media will be sure never to mention the ones thrown to the wayside again — or, as shown in this BizzyBlog post last night, won’t even cover them until they test positive.

Interested-Participant caught a post at Advice Goddess containing a confession from the LA Times assistant editorial page editor that its web publishing software doesn’t have realtime link-insertion capability. That’s understandable. The Times doesn’t have a lot of journalism either.

Liberally Conservative rips Rudy for claiming illegal immigration is not a crime. Come back, Rudy, when the laws that say it is illegal are repealed.

Thespis Journal, which last week celebrated two years of blogging (congrats!), notes that the GOP debate TV audience on Fox dwarfed that of Larry King’s obviously counterprogrammed interview of Bill Clinton.










Amazing that Rudy said what he said, it was as if on cue when Thompson announced his official candidacy! I was on the fence about Rudy and ready to hold my nose, but I just can’t hold my breathe long enough. This leaves Hunter and Thompson as the only real conservatives on the list of choices. Why do you think Hunter hasn’t got traction? You think it just the inability to communicate or the MSM de-selecting him by refusing to cover him?

The Advice Goddess is also banned from the LAT’s features section (due to a joke she made about her breasts in a popular piece she wrote for LAT Mag, angering the feminists at the paper).
Thanks for the link.
