Friday evening links

Posted by: Sister Toldjah on December 19, 2008 at 6:21 pm

LinksI’m feeling a little under the weather this evening, but wanted to post a few quick links for your perusal:

—– PDS strikes again: The media’s obsession with Sarah Palin continues, this time thanks to a story making headlines about how Palin’s daughter Bristol’s fiance’s mother has been arrested on drug charges. I know you’re thinking what I’m thinking: I couldn’t have lived another day without knowing that, right?

—– AllahPundit has the latest news on the Franken/Coleman battle. Warning: It’s not good.

—– Blago proclaims, “I’m not guilty.” And the only people who believe him are most of the corruptocrats deeply entrenched in the Chicago Machine.

—– A second CNN meteorlogist has bluntly stated that the theory that global warming is man-made is “arrogant.” Will he lose his AMS seal? For the record, CNN weatherhunk Rob Marciano had the nerve to question the theory of man-made global warming last year. The day after he made the comments, he “revised” them – presumably under pressure (or perhaps threats?) from the higher ups.

—– Speaking of the weather, areas of the Northeast are preparing for a white Christmas as a major cold front has rolled in. It’d be nice to get just a tiny bit of snow next Thursday here but it’s highly unlikely, so it’ll be another year without a full-fledged white Christmas here in Charlotte, NC.

—– Is Oprah planning a move to DC? Hmmm.

—– I’m with ya: Senator Shelby (R-AL) makes his opinion known on the appeal by John “Taliban Johnny” Walker Lindh’s parents to President Bush to pardon their son: Don’t.

—– Good news: Soros-influenced groups make inroads in Obama Administration.

—– Larry Elder writes about the mainstream media’s giddiness over the shoe-throwing Iraqi “journalist.” Of course we know the far left is just as excited about it as well. So many of them have either said or implied that the incident – which is considered an insult in the Arab world -is a symbol of how “many” feel about the Iraq war and the President. In turn, I say that the reaction to the incident is a symbol of how the far left have chosen to repeatedly act like children over the last 8 years rather than add anything of importance or value to the debate.

Then again, juveniles will be juveniles.

  1. News from Allahpundit is never good. His whole schtick depends on pessimism. 8-|

    Of course, he’s often right….

    Coleman losing in Minnesota is no biggie, as he was a true RINO. And the limp response by the McCainiacs who have taken over the GOP to the slow-motion theft of the Minnesota election is not encouraging.

    I hear that another O is interested in a Senate seat. This O ends in prah, as in Winfrey.

    We got 4 inches of snow on Friday, and the drive home from work wasn’t a lot of fun. Yesterday was clear, but we got snow again this morning; 1 to 3 inches was predicted, and it looks like about an inch of fresh stuff outside.

    Of course, I might suggest that people who pine for a white Christmas aren’t the ones who have to shovel the stuff!

    We had a white Christmas in 2002: it started snowing, heavily, in the morning, and the power went out at 12:27 AM. The power came back on at about 6:35 PM — on the 26th! The fourteen inches of snow sure looked pretty, but a Christmas dinner of cold food from the fridge, along with it getting down to 50º F in the house, wasn’t nearly as much fun as you might imagine. :(

    I wish they would have had this obsession when it came to Bill Clinton’s “I didn’t inhale” comment or the rumors about cocaine use or the testimony about Bill being a rapist.

    I sit in here in wonderment as to why they didn’t do any investigations regarding Barack’s testimony of alcohol abuse, and drug use?!?!?!?!

    Yet someone with only the remotest connection to a Republican suddenly catches front page headlines and these guys are dumbfounded as to why they can’t sell a newspaper!! =))

    HEADLINES: Bush’s 3rd cousin twice removed from his Grand Mother’s sister grew hemp!!!! HOLY MOLY PINCH we better get a reporter on this right away!!!

    Idiots!! – Lorica

    We will have a white Christmas in this area also. It will be very nice except the extreme cold that tends to follow a snow storm. I brought in one of the stray cats that haunts the woods behind my house, much to the ire of my Gizmo, who has been staying in the basement while we have had this guest. =)) I am waiting for the white siamese to show up, hopefully soon. Even tho he doesn’t get along with the orange stray who presently lounging about cuz he has never had it so good. I will still bring him in, just to keep him alive. It is like 8 degrees outside. :) – Lorica

    No wind today and a foot deep snow with an icy crust crust……GW/GCD better hurry up before the retarded hummingbirds freeze to death.

  8. BeachBabe NC says:

    I want snow!!! :((

  9. steveegg says:

    You want snow, BeachBabe? Come on up to Wisconsin; we have a lot of it (along with mind-numbing cold, and wicked-strong winds), and more snow on the way.

    All I have to say is, thank God for all wheel drive and 2-stage snowblowers.

  10. BeachBabe NC says:

    What… when it snows I stay in the house and cook!! I like to go outside and go sledding and make margaritas. When NC used to get snow, a bunch of us in the neighbor hood hooked up a blender and made frozen margaritas while the children all played! it was awesome.. thats what I think about Steveegg when it snows.. I dont think about driving in it or going to work!! Ill come up there and fix food and frozen margaritas for everyone!!
