“Things I‘d Like To Post About Today; But I Don’t Have Any Time ‘4‘”:

• Fabius Maximus delivers a resounding up-to-date debunk (HT Instapundit) of “Peak Oil” (link is to a search on previous related BizzyBlog posts), so I don’t have to.
• From the Useful Reminder Dept. — When people questioned the patriotism of the presidential candidate I irreverently refer to as “Mr. BOOHOO-OUCH” (Barack O-bomba Overseas Hussein “Obambi” Obama - Objectively Unfit Coddler of Haters), and he, in his answer, confirmed the validity of their concerns, he turned around and questioned theirs. I thought we weren’t allowed to do that.
• It happened “way back” on Sunday, but Chris Wallace made Howard Dean look like such a fool (because he is), that if you haven’t seen it, you should.
• Oh, how the pro-aborts despise it when they are reminded of what they are sanctioning. Two years ago, a prolife memorial in Northern Kentucky was vandalized. This time, the destruction of a prolife memorial is on tape.
• This story (”10-year-old gives birth in Idaho; Suspected illegal immigrant charged with rape”; HT Stop the ACLU via Ace) made me think of this BizzyBlog post (”The ‘My Culture Made Me Do It’ Excuse for Statutory Rape”) in September of 2006. If the current suspect is indeed illegal and guilty, will he also make the claim that “this type of conduct is legal in his culture”?
• As an equal-opportunity critic: I don’t care that, after several highly-publicized “odds of recession” pronouncements, Alan Greenspan is now changing course, and telling us that “(the) worst of credit crisis (is) over.” He should be keeping his mouth shut, and letting Ben Bernanke do his job. Greenspan should imagine how he would have felt if Paul Volcker had constantly given his opinion after he left the Fed and Greenspan took over.
• Well, of course Code Pink’s witches are resorting to witchcraft.
• A “Why in the bleep do we bother?” moment — “House passes $300 billion housing rescue plan that will allow the government to back loans for struggling homeowners.”
