Mike's Blog Round Up
Good morning. I'm Lance Mannion and I love New York. I love a parade too. I love a mystery, I love Lucy, I love to love ya, baby, and I love the smell of napalm in the morning, it smells like victory. I love my blog where I get to show off to the world how little I know about a wide variety of subjects---today's demonstration of ignorance will be about Shakespeare---I love being the guest host of the blog round up here at Crooks & Liars, and I love the posts I've linked to today, starting with:
Jim Henley's post at Unqualified Offerings on how the war on drugs has made all us sinus headache sufferers learn the habit accustoming ourselves "to endless surveillance of even ordinary activities" just to buy a decongestant that f-ing works!
Will Bunch continues the job he's assigned himself of keeping track of the ravings of his former Senator, Rick "Man on Dog" Santorum.
The Rude Pundit reviews Mitt Romney's "Freedom of Religion" speech in his usual fashion, rudely.
At the DMIBlog, Annie Clark posts about the housing crisis in New Orleans and how it is keeping the Big Easy from truly recovering. And Elana Levin offers a memo to the netroots on how bloggers can help affect positive, progressive changes in our immigration policies. Lengthy but full of invaluable links.
By way of reviewing the new movie, Starting Out in the Evening, Phil Nugent eulogizes essayist and novelist Elizabeth Hardwick, who died last Sunday at 91.
And, in the post I think I love best of all, Helmut of Phronesisaical points the way to a wonderful site called Square America that offers a history of the United States in the 20th Century through family snapshots.
That's the end of today's love-fest. TGIF. Send tips and suggestions to lance (atsign) lancemannion (dot
Schiavo!
Damn Lance, seems like love is in the air today. :)
And it's Pearl Harbor Day, so make sure to kiss a service man or woman. I'm married to a retired one, so shouldn't be a problem...
In regard to this being Pearl Harbor Day, let’s not forget how BushCo decided to celebrate last year- seven phone calls from Mike Battle informed seven United States Attorneys on 12/7/06 that they were being shit canned. The only explanation given @ the time was “we want to take the office in a new direction."
And Yet... @ 3:
They wanted to make a right turn?
Nice blog Lance. I was looking for a place to comment on Superbad.
For anyone interested in DC scuttlebutt on why BushCo had to release the NIE, here's a link to something I came across:

Here's some free speech in Berkeley... just for old times' sake.

Believe it or not life does exist outside of New York. Go up to the Catskills or Poconos, take in some nature, bath your soul in some quiet and serenity. Commune with the trees for a few days.
L.A. Confidential @ 8:
I've been doing that a lot lately in Humboldt County here in Northern California Redwoods. Fortunately, we're no where near big cities, so its all nature.
curtilingus @ 9:
Beautiful up there. Love the Redwoods.
OUTING A CIA AGENT IN TIME OF WAR IS TREASON AGAINST THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Call Nancy Pelosi @1-202-225-0100 and DEMAND IMPEACHMENT.
Remember Pearl Harbor.
Learn from history...or it just keeps repeating itself and you never even notice. ;-} ~ PEACE!
pissed off patricia @ 2:
My bad, I had chili last night.
LA, I live at the base of the foothills of the Catskills, as a matter of fact.
Curt, Thanks. I'll be responding to your comment on Superbad over at my place. I agree with you about the confusion there at the end.
Yep, it sure is:
I haven't seen anyone point to ex(?)-Mormon Gen. JC Christian's piece on why Mitt's religion matters.
Creepy.
poor Will Bunch has to read Santorum's Syphilitic screeds
How does America owe Katrina victims anything?
JIm Henley on Unqualified Offerings calls Mark Steyn a racist douchebag for a quote he incorrectly attributed to Steyn, but was actually made by a Swedish imam- quotation marks being the key indicator here.
Steyn's response , definitely the quote of the day: "Douchebag, douche thyself."
Commendably, Henley apologizes.
