If you’ve missed it:

I think I’m going to log this into the category: “alternative energy.”

Speaking of Energy
– the EPA admits: the “Cap and Trade” Bill won’t do anything good.

(You may have to scroll down and pause the video in my Caritas in Veritate posting)

FSuddenly, I am completely wiped out and can’t read or write anymore. Heading to the porch for Evening Prayer, but here’s lots of links on where we’re at:

Economically:
Keith Hennessey’s Six Month Economic Update
Obama’s Iceberg: looming awfully large for all of us. Will this captain go down with his ship? Doubtful.
Obama’s Mulligan: Can we afford his “do-over”?
Obama’s Economic Leadership: Country’s getting coooold feet
Obama’s Unemployment: Could hit 14%? Depressing chart here
Obama/Biden/Pelosi’s “JOBS” fixation: Never mind…
Obama’s/Congress’ Economy: (yes, it’s all theirs) Job Losses Mount, Deficit Soars But…they’re the smart party! So smart, they don’t even need to read the bills before they vote them in!
Between a Rock and a hard place: Obama and the Democrats want to spend even more
Obama’s “Spending” Stimulus is not working. I’m so shocked. I’m gonna plotz right here, I’m so surprised.
Obama’s Party Panics: “And well they should. Democrats put down an $800 billion bet and locked Republicans out of the room in placing it. They know their party and their President completely owns the results — and those aren’t looking good at all.”

Obama-wise:
Obama’s take on History: US President has difficulty admitting the West won the Cold War
Obama’s visit to Russia: seen his schtick already, and underwhelmed by his brilliance
Obama’s Brilliant White House: Misspells his name. Typos happen, but of course this would be a week’s worth of sneers and outrage, if he had an R after his name.
Obama’s diss: Fausta on Obama, Russia and “Trendy” O2
Obama’s World Love: Not playing well…not well at all
Obama’s “conscience-clause reassurance”: Not all that damn reassuring, actually.
Obama’s Health Care-reassurances: not all that damn reassuring, actually.
Obama’s Patronage: All that back scratching, no wonder everyone is asleep!
Is Obama: Our most impulsive president?
Obama’s SCOTUS Nominee: Inconvenient Cheat?
Obama’s Moral Superiority to Everything Bush: Even acquitted detainees may stay in custody
Obama-loyalists: questioning your patriotism!. Dissent? You have no right to dissent, you traitor! What do you think this is, anyway, the Land of the Free?
Mean and Nasty: The older non-Obama supporters will die soon

Climate Crapola/Cap-N-Trade-wise foolish:
Bush was right, and his opposition was political theater. Foolish, foolish political theater.
The Times of London: Wipes out foolish, foolish nazi comparisons by foolish, flim-flamming Gore
Brushfires in California: My firefighter friends say Bush was right & enviro left was wrong about clearing away brush to prevent these things. Also, smaller brush fires would you know…”save the planet”.
Obama’s astonishing conceit:And fakery

Palin-wise:
Biden/Palin curve
She’s so nuts, and so weak: that she drives her haters to the Cliffs of Insanity!
Paglia: Correctomundo!

Random Interesting Stuff:
Copernicus: DNA Identifies his remains? Fascinating. Will be be cloned?
Life, Liberty & the pursuit of pleasure: A “Must Read” on differences between lives lived for pleasure vs those of sacrifice
Christians Hate Science: Which is why Cardinal Pell is offering a grant for Adult Stem Cell Research; oh! Another busted balloon!
Abortion: A primer in how to force the case Vile.
Race-hate at the pool: What in blazes? Also vile.
Codex Sinaiticus: Online
Managing Pesky Flies: No, really
Have a laugh: Really
Public Pensions: Being Squeezed, while the fed hires more.
A spiral jetty: Cool
Dominican Nun Soap! It’s on sale til July 12th!, and check out their redesigned website, too!
Coffee: It’s Good for your brain! Clearly I have not had enough Mystic Monk Coffee today! I’m taking a nap!

    SanJose Tea Party & Failed Stimulus

    Failed what?
    Stimulus? What’s that?
    The only thing it was intended to stimulate was the federal treasury (and the tingled legs of some sycophants on MSNBC and the rest of the Pravda press).

    Ms. Scalia,

    I came here to ensure that you saw that Ms. Paglia had comments up about Palin, which I note you found. I would be much intrigued by you analysis of those comments.

    Ms. Anchoress:

    Your willingness to believe everything that Obama and the democrats do is evil, prima facie, and that everything George Bush, Sarah Palin, and the republicans do is good by the very fact that they do it demonstrates that you are a mindless sycophant.

    Additionally, the monk coffee isn’t very good.

    [I don't believe EVERYTHING Obama and the Democrats do is evil. Obama gave the pope a nice gift yesterday, and congress...well, congress, who can say, but I don't believe everything Obama does is evil; I have, now and then, actually said something positive about him, which is more than the Bush-haters on the left could ever manage for Bush. I didn't believe everything Bush did was good; I could sometimes manage to criticize him, particularly on his spending, and I have a heavy criticism of him on the war-management that one of these days I'll write into a post YOU will love! But if you want to call me a mindless sycophant, that's perfectly fine. You're entitled to your opinion....about everything but the monk coffee, which you have clearly never tasted! :-) - admin]

    Virgin Mary Seen in Tree Stump

    [Yes, we all know people see Mary in tree stumps and french toast - I don't think they're ever praised on this site. Once again: When a commenter throws out a "comment" that consists of an unencoded link, it messes up my format, sometimes gets them thrown into spam, and requires that "I" edit to insert the link. Please see these instructions on how to create links. I'm spending an absurd amount of time creating links for people and pretty soon I will stop digging them out of the spam filter. Sorry to sound cranky; I'm not - just rushed, - admin]

    Have to love the talk of a second stimulus! I’m still waiting for the first stimulus. Or was that the 13 dollars and a promise of a Unicorn.I though I saw a Unicorn in the yard but the mailman hasn’t brought the 13 dollar check yet.
