MEG is sleeping – she didn’t sleep a whole lot last night – so I’m going to take advantage and try to squeeze in a round-up.

First off, please note there are a few additions to the Daily Read list – Hidden Treasures with Mary of Mary’s World; Last Refuge of a Scoundrel with Larry, a retired Navy type; Oath Keepers, because the oath I took when I served this country did not have an expiration date; and When Your Only Tool is a Hammer with Hammer, who refuses to be labeled.

And now, the run-down:
Over at Amboy Times there is news about ProPiganda’s new book. Chris (filling in for Ol’ Broad) reports on the stowaway on the shuttle over on An Ol’ Broad’s Ramblings. Look to ARRA News with Bill Smith for the latest money and market terms. Richard is experiencing the spring thaw – a few days ago, it thawed right into his basement. Basti says the latest influx of civilian workers into Afghanistan is a bad idea. Bloviating Zeppelin is shocked – shocked, I tell you – and wants to let you know that the Obama Administration has been obfuscating about who knew what (and when!) about certain bonuses at a certain government-run banking company. And these people want to run our health care? GuyK has been building fences and entertaining relatives and accidentally got a glance at the news this morning. The cookiecrumbexpress is glad that the Obamanation figured out that making vets use their private insurance was a bad idea. Cyber Pastor thinks that Shep Smith got one right about AIG. If you have questions about the “TEA Parties” going on around the country, you can get the scoop at Dumb Looks Still Free. Seems like even the Jocks “get it”: Gateway Pundit mentions that Coach K would prefer that Obama pay more attention to the economy, and not so much on the Final Four. Gawfer has a piece up about the brilliant idea to bill vet’s insurance for combat-related injuries. Jenn has her priorties straight – support her in the Walk for Animals, and read all about the administration that thinks it knows better. If everyone is calling the same person an idiot, does anyone think that maybe, just maybe, that person is and idiot? Check out Maggie’s Notebook for more Obamanations. Findalis updates us on Obama’s plan to abandon Israel on Monkey In The Middle. Old Soldier has noticed that it’s getting tougher to find any ammo lately. Scott has a darn good preaching over at Our Sovereign Joy. Greybeard managed to make lemonade out of his 401(K) lemons. Doug over on Political Pistachio wonders what would happen if the teleprompter king got slipped a visual mickey. Rattler Gator has a question about the one-sidedness of the MSM. Everyone’s favorite blogging redhead posits about the needs of the military and the awareness of the administration on Samantha Speaks.

Let’s not forget Texas Fred and his calls to awareness. Seems that has become a password, eh? Lest we all start thinking that Zo over at MachoSuaceProductions is the only black conservative, take a look at The Black Sphere. It was only a matter of time! Obama’s Teleprompter got it’s own blog! (news courtesy of the BLOG) Speaking of Obama, the issue of his birth certificate (as opposed to a certificate of live birth) won’t die, and Andrea Shea King has an interview regarding the whole mess. Details on Third Wave Dave. The Texas Jew Boy (Yid With Lid) asks if the American People are waking up to what they have brought upon themselves yet.

Prying1 sends me this little tidbit via e-mail:

In a time where so much is being made about our first black president, Ann Coulter made the following observation in her column of 2/25/2009:

” But as long as the nation is obsessed with historic milestones, is no one going to remark on what a great country it is where a mentally retarded woman can become speaker of the house?”

Are you a handy-type? Do your friends ask you about how to fix something? Do you have a bucket organizer for your tools? If this sentence makes sense to you, and you want a bucket organizer, then drop me a line and I will arrange for you to get one. The bonus is that I get one for referring you to the Handy Man Club of America Yes, I am a life member. You can be, too.

Now, if you will excuse me, I’m going to go race on my PS2 (Dirt to Daytona) until MEG wakes up, then we’re going to the library and then downtown to have lunch with TMBWitW.

Chat ya later…
