links from around the moronosphere for 3/18

Today's links!  All ten of my readers seem to like this, maybe yours will too!

Cuffy's been having a blast with this Wright story this week.   Be sure to check out these posts, oh, and Hillary throwing red meat to the nutroots.

Rosetta finds this, mesablue declares it old.  I didn't remember seeing it, so maybe you missed it too...

Slublog comments on the latest NY governor's affair and has some fun with this new Hulu thing.  Hulu: stupid name, cool service.  Watched a movie on it last night. 

Good post by the Stoaty One.

bmac on Rev. Wright and the impossible hopes for improving race relations people place on Obama.

See-Dub calls for a Drudge Siren...

Developing...

Nutroots question the timing of the Spitzer scandal, Zod in Tacoma?, Mike Pence looks to defund Planned Parenthood...he'll get nowhere, but the fact that a GOPer is, I dunno, trying to pretend they're alive is something, I guess.

The Eggman looks at Links From Around the Moronosphere, and says Me Too!  So, I'll link you to his Morning Scramble.

Brian at Snapped Shot messes with the AP.

Stash notes the makings of the latest kooky "Clintons had (so-and-so) whacked" conspiracy theory here.  He also has the latest on drug use in sports.

IVD has a clip you may want to watch about the DC gun ban case and pulls the bullshit card on Obama for his comparison of Wright's 20 years of hate speech with Geraldine Ferraro's statement about Obama a few weeks ago in his speech.

Enas Yorl plans his retaliation.

What do you do with a drunken sailor?

A staple of any blog, the random naked jackass committing a crime.

More with Planned Parenthood?  Yep!  Remember the, for lack of a better word, prank phone calls asking if a donation could be made to abort black babies?  Planned Parenthood finally got around to responding to it.

Cranky on the tedious, formulaic trashing of the South by Hollywood.  To be fair though, PA isn't a bastion of liberalism, Philly, Pittsburgh, and the Scranton/Northeast corner are.  Joe will tell you, we're in the Alabama part of PA.  I haven't been any further South than Virginia (Florida doesn't friggin' count as South, at least where I've been there), so I couldn't tell you if racism is better or worse in the Northeast.

New addition to the blogroll, how could I not add someone named Moronpundit?  Anyway, Sully's ridiculous mancrush on Obama goes as far as it can on paper or pixel.

Nice Deb notes that only some of the Crooks & Liars lefties didn't think Obama helped himself, as per their poll, which was pretty evenly split as to whether he helped himself.  If he doesn't even have the nutroots sold, he's in big trouble.

Mike notes the swooning of Sully too, but more importantly, the continued work of sending as much of Rev. Wright's public statements and connections to Obama down the memory hole as possible.  He also notes the ridiculous attempt by Obama's supporters to build a moral equivocation between Geraldine Ferraro's statements and Rev. Wright's.  Of course, readers of Links Around the Moronosphere knew this meme was coming days ago.

1 The bad thing is I don't do blog stuff from work, and by the time I get home, this post is stale.  Besides, I have like 3 readers.

The newbies I got are still trying to have a flame war in my comments, but it's not going very well.  The liberal one is very politely producing ridiculous strawmen, while the conservative one went straight to the insults (stupid ones, too) and, when called on it, told me that my only resort was to ban him.  Irritated by his "I am teh awesome" stance, I edited his comment instead.

It's the most blog-fun I've had in ages!

2 Heh, at least you've had some fun in your comments.

3 Oh, my first paragraph wasn't clear.  What I meant was that I would like to link the Moronosphere roundups, but by the time I get home, it's old in internet terms, and plus I don't have many readers.

Anyway, you should break out the Drudge siren again, because I just posted an actual news post.  !!!

4 I'll add that one to tomorrow's links, and I'll give you a Drudge Siren.

5 ha, no need.  I was just making fun of myself because I almost never post news.

Apparently, I am "despicable" for editing the guy's comment.  Heh.

6 Eh, I can sympathize with him a bit, I've had issues with people editing my comments...

7 Thanks for the linky love.  I've been told that it was James Carville who said that in Pennsylvania you have Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.  In between you have Alabama.  I grew up a few miles west of Valley Forge and it was a mighty white place to grow up.  I doubt there were more than 50 blacks in my high school of about 1500 kids.

8 Yeah, I had family in Valley Forge, they moved, but I am somewhat familiar with the area.

9 I didn't delete anything he said - I just added a few extra remarks.  Besides, he was being an asshole.  "Look at me, I am so extra-virtuous because I treat people like jerks when I don't agree with them!  If you don't like it, you must BAN ME!" with the obvious undertones of "IF I AM BANNED IT WILL BE A VICTORY FOR FREE SPEECH."  I don't think I've ever seen a non-lefty behave like that on the intertubes before.

10 That's a bit different than what I dealt with.  

Posted by: doubleplusundead at March 18, 2008 09:22 PM (LEDkk)

11 Yeah, you got disemvowelled and then disappeared, right?  And you were being polite from what I remember.

The funny part? A week or so later another blogger at Wizbang posted something and DJ showed up in the comments attacking him and then, when I was insufficiently sycophantic toward Bush (i.e. accurately described his position), DJ accused me of being a liar.

After some rude back and forth, the blogger whose post it was told me to be nice in the comments but did not also publicly tell DJ to stop being an A-hole.

Oh well, I used to like that blog.

16 Eh, whatever, plenty of other places to go.
