Mike's Blog Round Up
By Mike Finnigan Tuesday Sep 25, 2007 10:00amThe Quaker Agitator would like to be allowed to think for himself, which is odd considering there are so many people who are paid to think for him.
Instaputz asks the question, Whither the Left?
Fetch My Axe writes about a case that nobody has written about.
Newspapers don't seem particularly interested with the impact of the UAW strike on their readers.
Rubber Hose reveals that Germany has been moved to Africa. I did not know that.
Fannie's Room is calling for separation of Church and Military.
Graphictruth says the Left is humorless and irony-impaired. I know what you're thinking: Is that supposed to be funny?
Comments From Left Field and Conservative Thinking have joined to raise funds in honor of Sgt. Yance T. Gray, and Sgt. Omar Mora, two of the authors of the New York Times Op-Ed piece who died in Iraq. Who knew that liberal and conservative bloggers could work together? Newshoggers has joined their effort.
Today's Round Up has been guestblogged by noted conservative blogger Jon Swift, and I'm a proud wingbat, or moonut (I can never get them straight). Please send your tips to me at modestjonswift [at] gmail [dot] com and then drop by The Aristocrats and leave a note for Sandy Underpants, who is recovering from painful hernia surgery.

Hey Jon Swift! Big fan here. Keep up the good work.
It truly is amazing. In BushWorld no matter what happens....
It's somebody else's fault.
Bill Clinton, Al Gore, the Defeatocrats, somebody but not...
Me.
Blackwater needs to go away!

Can someone explain the GraphicTruth post to me? There is not enough context there to understand what he is talking about.
Church and military:

Don't feel bad, Retrogrouch, I'm not sure what to make of it either.
It's been raining a lot here so maybe I have mildew on my brain causing it not to work as well as it should. ;)
Retrogrouch @ 5:
GraphicTruth cites an LA Times editorial that chastises MoveOn for not properly crediting Rush Limbaugh for the Gen. Betrayus line.
And my irony meter red-lined again.
The corporate utopia agenda of globalization was for greed.
It hurts the people like Nafta and a big mistake. Perot was right.
The gop wants to continue this mistake because it benifits their donors.
The gop do not care about the people. Period.
Until the gop is dealt with, the destruction of this country will continue.
Sadly, there are many dems that have joined them.
Hence, the need for term limits, tight ethics and morals and government reform.
It is broken.
Louisiana has recognized this corrupt, broken system and is trying to fix it.
It could be the model for Washington but needs a strong leader. Jindell is a wingnut and not that person.
Which candidate is talking about government reform?
Clinton, of course.
Sorry for the confusion. Here is the article the Graphictruth post refers to.
Thanks, Jon Swift for helping me clean the mildew from my thinking processes. :)
pissed off patricia @ 11:
In Basic Training, we used cans of Coca-Cola to clean off soap scum.
Off-topic, butt:

I guess I'm making an ass of myself.
Thanks for the linky love.
Graphictruth says the Left is humorless and irony-impaired. I know what you’re thinking: Is that supposed to be funny?
I did laugh; even out loud. Not because it was funny. Because I thought what a hurtin' unit to write such tripe.
"Until we get a rueful admission of stupidity on Colbert's show, I shall taunt you"
Along with your six readers? Jon why are you sending us there?? It's embarrassing for everyone.
Edwin @ 15:
According to my stats - it's more like seventeen.
Look, I'm not a liberal, I'm a libertarian. I am - and I am supposed to be - against ALL big, statist, authoritarian, mommy-knows best type folks.
But let's face it, for six years and more, the well has been DRY on the leftward side. This is the first thing I've been able to legitimately mock on the left since I started my blog, and it's a stereotypical Liberal/left fubar - to be a little more clever than the room.
(and honestly, truth be grudgingly told, one I could have easily made myself.)
Remember, it's alleged, with some validity, that the smart people are on the left wing (regardless of their position on the Axis of Authority). And I'm sure the folks at Move On.org would agree that they are Very Smart Indeed.
Smart enough to outsmart themselves, obviously.
But of course, the really, really clever part was when they tried to suppress the mockery and protest over on Cafepress. Remember, with a few notable exceptions, the average Cafepress shop owner is somebody trying to make a few extra bucks toward making the over-stretched ends meet. Like, for instance, me. Working class and below, in other words. Lots of working mothers, or stay-at-home moms. Not the sort of people you want to be picking on for "Trademark infringment" even if you had a valid case.
And, well, they didn't. It was a classic, Scientology style SLAPP suit threat. Or in other words, Politics, American Style.
Anyway, I view it, like the fragile bloom of the Lupin, to be the herald of Spring and A Return to Normal.
Bloody Lupins...
Why Bother?
