Links Roundup
OVERNIGHT LINKS — well, just one, really. I’m heading out to the Left Coast for some time to come, so blogging will be a bit more sporadic and light. For today . . . ITEM: Debra Saunders takes a look at Pelosi’s Tortured Explanation: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had been pushing for a “truth commission” [...]
MORNING LINKS ITEM: Speaking of swine flu hysteria, this may be a good time to invest in pork belly futures – there may be a shortage soon. ITEM: Yet another way in which Western Europeans are looking for the US to help them financially. ITEM: Here’s a slideshow of items from the Michael Jackson Neverland [...]
MORNING LINKS (Yeah, didn’t feel like doing overnight links last night) ITEM: The photo above says more than a thousand op-eds on how unseriously the Obama Administration is taking the threat of terrorism. While the White House is scrambling to distance Obama himself from this idiotic stunt, a lot of people had to sign off [...]
MORNING LINKS — apparently, Monday’s also a snowy day ITEM: I went to bed with rain falling outside and woke up to about an inch of snow on the ground, with more falling. And apparently we could get more on Friday Morning (May 1st). ITEM: For about two years before things collapsed, my co-blogger, Bruce [...]
OVERNIGHT LINKS ITEM: I figured that Janet Napolitano had some kind of security credentials beyond being a Democrat from a border state who was current on all her taxes.

[For those of you coming in from Ace of Spades HQ, here's the Atlas Shrugged review.] AFTERNOON LINKS ITEM: Visualization is always a good thing. The Heritage Foundation graphically illustrates the minuscule nature of Obama’s proposed — and far from realized — cuts (hat tip to Instapundit): MORNING LINKS — things are heating up a [...]
MORNING LINKS ITEM: Wondering where all those Tea Parties are taking place? Have a look. Hat tip to Instapundit. ITEM: Creeping socialism/fascism alert — A Greenville, Texas City Council member is arrested and removed from a City Council meeting for talking about a subject that the Mayor didn’t like. Pretty amazing video, including the attempt [...]
[Here are Wednesday's links as well] MORNING LINKS ITEM: USA Today has an outstanding article debunking the various myths about the Columbine shooters who killed just over a dozen of their fellow students 10 years ago: They weren’t goths or loners. The two teenagers who killed 13 people and themselves at suburban Denver’s Columbine High [...]
