The Morning Scramble - 6/27/2008

Posted by steveegg on Friday, June 27, 2008 12:46:20 AM

The From the Frontlines webathon was a smashing success. They wanted $500,000; thanks to the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Michelle Malkin, and everybody who donated, they got $1,055,719 as they went off the air. Bravo Zulu! Just as a reminder, the donation window is open until July 2.

It’s fitting, yet sad that Rush is at Summerfest tonight; I’ve been looking for a good time to break this one out, and a trip out of Milwaukee is as good of time as any…

This is going to be a bit abbreviated because I’m actually putting it together just before midnight Central and putting it up now.

  • Karl reminds us that another conservative victory came out of SCOTUS; the axing of the “Millionares’ Amendment”.
  • The Vintage One caught Reuters projecting their hatred of hunting on Justice Antonin Scalia. Score another point in the book for the Italian.
  • Curt found something disturbing in the Heller decision. Honestly, if the Lawgivers-In-Black ever get a solid majority on SCOTUS instead of relying on the coin flip that’s Anthony Kennedy, the presence or absence of that phrase won’t matter a bit; they just make it up anyway.
  • Marshall Manson and the other two denziens of On Tap say that it was actually Roberts’ majority.
  • Speaking of Jim Geraghty, he reports the NRA is going after Chicago’s handgun ban. Stay on target. Stay on target!
  • Uncle Jimbo smacks down the L-I-B.
  • Robert found a pic of the Justices that explains a lot.
  • Teresa notes how far Obama has moved since 2000 on foreign policy. Of course, I don’t necessarily consider adopting the Algore/Joe Lieberman standard a sign of maturity, but retreat-and-defeat is still worse.
  • Jessi has the Obamination cartoon of the day.
  • William Teach has half a cheer for Obama on the UN-Fairness Doctrine. Just remember Geraghty’s Maxim - every Obama statement has an expiration date.
  • Dad29 chalks up another cure for adult stem cells. Embryonic stem cells have yet to get on the board, but don’t expect the Culture of Death™ to stop trying killing.
  • Fred Keller has the top 10 reasons to support ANWR development. Paging Mr. McCain. Paging Mr. Sensenbrenner. Please pick up the diamond-tipped drill.
Unless I pop pack in here in the am, the next time you’ll hear from me, I’ll be on Michigan time.
