- The Obama Effect: Decreased Investment, Increased Unemployment
- Why the New York Times is a junk bond: "According to the geniuses at the Times, the governor of Alaska is self-evidently and grossly unqualified to be vice president of the United States, but a pop singer is obviously qualified to be lecturing the world about African civil wars and developmental economics."
- In even less important news, I note that Andrew Sullivan is, with bated breath, continuing his unabated campaign to be the designated First Lewinsky of an Obama Administration. One would think at this point, his appointment is in the teabag.
- Hyper-perverted SF Columnist Mark ("O the Lightworker") Morford spools one out that goes twice around the bowl with When history spanks.
- Terminators on order via SITIS - an Army plan to "develop a software/hardware suit that would enable a multi-robot team, together with a human operator, to search for and detect a non-cooperative human subject."
- Who says there's no good news about magazines? BREAKING: Radar Folds; Web Site Sold to AMI Goodbye and good riddance to this chunk of glossy crap. Global Hellos: In international airport arrival gates I’ve seen Maoris rub noses, Japanese bow, and Italian men lightly pound each other on the chest and arms with their fists.
- Barack Obama as Ozymandias.
"Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare, The lone and level sands stretch far away."
- Post-boomers: The stealth right A commenter at neoneocon observes, "The thing is, like gay people in the bad old days, we've developed ways of picking up the "tells" and we all find each other and know each other -- eventually."
- This just in! Sarah Palin Supersizes Fries
- Rush:
I think it's classic that yesterday Standard & Poors officially proclaimed the New York Times as "junk" on the day they endorsed The Messiah: the Lord Barack Obama, the Most Merciful. Number two, why is the New York Times junk? Why is their advertising revenue down? Why are their pages down? Why is their circulation down? It's because they're no longer the New York Times; they are the public relations department for the Barack Obama campaign and the Democrat Party.
- South Korea wearies of 'Spreading the wealth north'Millions suffer food crisis in North Korea: UN The food shortage warning comes as the North has ratcheted up its hostile rhetoric against South Korea and its president amid fraying ties.
- Paul McCartney's ex wearies of not having enough wealth to spread.Heather Mills has spent almost half of her $59.2 million divorce settlement in just seven months.
- Send O money or else! Obama has $605 million. Seeks more. More. More. Better give it to him. Or have a B in the face.
- Don Surber discovers alternate energy source: "Maybe unicorns on treadmills can produce our electricity someday."
- It's all about A Woman's Right to Shoes

Your Say
" Sen. Biden declared he had "three words" for what the nation needs: "J-O-B-S."
I'll let Biden go with that one. It's four initials, but after all, "B-S" is one word, leaving "J" and "O" for the other two words. We know what "O" stands for, don't we?

Substantive thoughts on the column itself: I want a Republican landslide so we can make two Americans cry like the little girls they are. No, not the Obama kids... Andrew Sullivan and Markie Morford.
