I’ve joked about this with the Blogospheric Neologian, how in The Zero Hour the temptation is to give into bloggernoia, defined as the suspicious belief that other bloggers aren’t linking you because of envy, spite or other malevolent motives: “Dan Collins is just jealous of my superior blog-fu! Dan Riehl, too! All these Dans are in on the conspiracy against me! Bwahahahaha!” No, it’s true: we really are out to

Heartless Jim Treacher has some questions about The Sea-faring Wealth Redistributors who still hold the captain hostage. Jon at Exurban League has the TOTUS’s most recent comments on the piracy situation in Somalia. Dan Riehl has related thoughts. WTH agrees with USA Today author that Obama’s transformational . . . but in a bad way. At This Ain’t Hell, TSO wonders which supposedly right blogs should be on the Index

And more about Brenda Morris, Brenda Morris, Brenda Morris. Have I mentioned Brenda Morris? Anyway, Clarice’s peroration: Ethical rot in the arm of the Justice Department tasked with ensuring the integrity of public officials is unacceptable. In this case, a change in the political composition of the United States Senate was a direct consequence of the failure to disclose exculpatory evidence. The political integrity of our democracy is at stake.

And JD says he met up with him and Tony and a British fighter and a Canadian one at a restaurant last night and had a good time, featuring 20 oz. OUTLAW Ribeye Steak! But don’t forget that there’s also a fundraiser going on. If I could have, I would have bumped the original post, but I can’t, so . . . (h/t, hf)

Theirs. To you. Stacy’s possibly the hardest working guy in the ‘sphere, which is why we call him The Hustler. So, when he submerges for a little bit, it often means that he’s about to disgorge something important, like this takedown of the Per Se Conservatives. That’s one of the reasons that, with respect to the proper around-reaching, I try not to be disappointed when he doesn’t respond in timely

In the United States of Obama (thanks, Chris Tingle), you will have the freedom to do exactly as you’re told: Doctors from across the country have come to Washington to try to save a federal regulation that gives added protection to medical workers who choose not to perform certain procedures, like abortion, that they morally object to. “It is open season on healthcare professionals of conscience,” said David Stevens, CEO

Yesterday’s MSM-megaphoned whining about all the wingnut welfare we right-of-center bloggers garner seems to have won Hamsher and her colleagues a promise from Americans United for Change to bankroll their efforts on behalf of Teh Narrative. As Hamsher says, they don’t have to be told to parrot the talking points. Director Blue has up an excellent post on what it looks like when the narrative gets its due promulgation in

Curt over at Flopping Aces has been handed a very difficult assignment on behalf of our troops, and could really use some assistance, if any of you have the time. Thanks for your efforts. Completely unrelated: So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, good night . . . Also here, here, here, . . . UPDATE: I agree with Allahpundit’s take on Wingnut Welfare. There. I said it. Brian at Sister Toldjah,

Only this time from Olbermann to co-Worst Persons in World, Dan Cooper, Twitter and Fox News: I’ve previously written at length about Keith Olbermann smearing Twitter and Dan Cooper, suggesting that they, along with Fox News, conspired to defraud America by setting up a fake Twitter account in Keith’s name. As we all know by now, Keith couldn’t have done a worse job with that segment. Not only was the
