Link Mess

link mess

Here is your daily link mess. Don’t know what ‘link mess’ is? Well, scroll down:

Is Al Gore in trouble? He might be. Power Line reports that increasingly more Americans are becoming ‘climate change sceptics.’ Why is this a good thing even if you believe – like I do – that global warming is real and that we contribute at least some to it? Because the radical solutions put forth by the left are highly destructive. Let people be more critical; the more critical they are, the more likely it is that politicians will try to develop reasonable and effective solutions.

Meanwhile, Kathy Kattenburg believes Power Line’s Scott Johnson is a “homophobe.” Why? Because he blasted Anderson Cooper for referring to the Tea Parties as “teabagging.” Uhm, Kathy, you’re rrrreaaaching. Delete that post and try again.

Should the MSM learn from the Huffington Post? Andrew Sullivan says: perhaps.

Lawyers, Guns and Money takes a swipe at Texas: “Texas has thus far seceded from two different countries in order to defend the right of white people to own black people. In that context, seceding in order to maintain a low capital gains tax rate would be a substantial improvement.” Should I even comment on that? Thought not.

I have a major problem with The New Ledger. They have so many great posts up that I do not know which one to link to. Therefore just a link to the site’s homepage. Click on it and start reading. Trust me, you won’t come back to PG for at least an hour or two.

Abu Muqawama (another one of those must read blogs): “I cannot claim to know Roxana Saberi well. We were introduced by my friend Andrew Tabler at Kramerbooks two years back and talked about Iran over beers for an hour. But I join everyone else in wishing for her safe return and condemning a regime that is showing its true, petty colors right now.” Now? As in, they did not show their “true petty colors” before? Since he runs a great blog, I’ll go ahead and forgive Abu the typo.

Do you wonder what Kos is reading? Politico’s Michael Calderone has the answer. Funny enough, Kos actually wrote quite an interesting post about the demise of newspapers.

Can someone – please – tell Obama that Chavez is not his or America’s friend? Jake Tapper reports that the Venezuelan president gave his American counterpart an inspiring book that blames the U.S. for all the misery in South America. And Obama? He hugged Chavez, smiled as if he met his personal hero, and thanked him for the wonderful gift.

Because I like Protein Wisdom. That’s why.

One of the most brillian New Media leaders around, Jon Henke, takes Drudge, Daily Kos and others to task for asking people stupid questions. Jon’s right. There are always lunatics who say they support this or that extreme measure.

Lastly, Wake Up America says that U.S. unemployment continues to rise. Isn’t that good news just before you go to bed? I bet it is!

PoliGazette Comments Policy

PoliGazette encourages comments from all viewpoints, especially those that disagree. Comments submitted must, however, adhere to the following standards. Comments that violate these standards may be edited or deleted without notice at the sole discretion of the editors. Commenters who repeatedly or egregiously violate these standards or who attempt to argue publicly with editors regarding the comments policy may be banned from commenting further.

(1) Comments should address the substantive content of the post. Comments that repeatedly or blatantly misrepresent the content of the post or of others' comments are not welcome. Comments that respond to something other than which the contributor or commenter may have said are irrelevant and should not be posted.

(2) Comments should avoid vulgarity as well as racial, ethnic, religious, or sexual bigotry.

(3) Comments should not personally attack the character, personal integrity, or professional reputation of any PoliGazette contributor or of other commenters.

(4) Comments should reflect the contributions of the commenters themselves and should not include extensive cut-and-paste reproductions of others' words except insofar as necessary to supplement the commenter's own arguments. Link spam, trackback spam, and propaganda spam will be instantly deleted.

(5) Public figures are considered open to all substantive criticism of their policies and statements. Comments that present objectively false factual information about public figures (i.e. "Obama is a Muslim") or that attack public figures by attacking their families are not welcome. Comments that merely repeat slogans for or against a candidate without engaging in substantive comment are not welcome.

Questions or challenges to these policies or their application should be directed to the editors by email only.
