Things I’d Like to Post About Today ….. (092208, Morning Round 1)
….. But I Don’t Have Any Time For:
- Michelle Malkin — “Henry Paulson Must Be Contained.” I fear he won’t be. Hers is a very long post, but worth the effort.
- Jack Caffery of CNN, infamous for asserting in the total absence of evidence that oil companies managed prices during the 2006 election cycle, wondered Sunday if Sarah Palin’s 15 minutes of fame might be over. Uh, not exactly.
- How bad is disability fraud (that IS the right word) at the Long Island Railroad? This bad (HT Hot Air Headlines): “Virtually every career employee — as many as 97 percent in one recent year — applies for and gets disability payments soon after retirement ….. two formerly influential figures at the L.I.R.R. — a married couple, one from management and one from labor — are retired and drawing about $280,000 annually in combined disability and pension payments.” All courtesy of taxpayers.
- Women on the verge of a nervous breakdown — over Sarah Palin. Zheesh: Who’s playing into the “weaker sex” stereotype, Palin or those who can’t handle a conservative female VP pick?
- Bill Clinton praised John McCain and Sarah Palin last week. Of course he praised her; the GOP veep nominee has more experience dealing with officials of other nations (including but not limited to the Alaska-Canada-US natural gas pipeline deal negotiated as Alaska governor) than Clinton had when he ran for president in 1992. That is, he had none, and it ultimately showed.
