Clearing the Browser Tabs – Easy Peasy, Cheddar Cheesy Wednesday Edition
Last night was certainly interesting for me, politically and personally. First, the live recording of The Delivery was plagued with occasional internet outages that I very much hope are not related to these acts of sabotage alleged committed by disgruntled, striking Verizon workers.
Then, once my internet connection did stabilize (too late to finish this post so it would drop at its customary time), I learned that the public sector unions, who spent millions upon millions in a fit of juvenile temper to recall enough Republicans to take over the Wisconsin state Senate, failed about as completely as they could have. Democrats won two of the 6 seats they targeted for recall but will face two recall elections of their own next week. The most likely result of the Great Wisconsin Hissy Fit is that Democrats will have spent a lot of money that could have helped union workers struggling to pay the bills in the Obama Economy in order to win one seat in a state legislature.
On the whole, not a bad night, technical problems notwithstanding. Oh, the picture of Che? That’s Justin Hart’s contribution to the victory dance. I approve!
The show post will be out a bit later today, so keep your eyes peeled!
And now, links!
- Stacy McCain is still hot on the campaign trail in Iowa — his dispatches both during and after Herman Cain’s speech in Denison are as good as any political reporting being done by any of the big media outlets (via memeorandum). Does that make him invaluable? Well, I don’t know many other reporters who produce as much work with as small a budget.
- Retail politics matter, which is why I believe some of the “second tier” Republican candidates like Michele Bachmann and Herman Cain have a better chance to do well, at least in the early primaries, than a lot of pundits think.
- Stand by for more “politics of personal destruction” from a team of masters. Meanwhile, Sarah Palin continues to score palpable hits from her lowly Facebook wall.
- Here is one long frog-march through the left-wing institutions I’d love to see.
- Water on Mars — liquid, flowing water where we formerly believed there was none at all — would be a very big deal. Where there’s water, there’s usually life, and a chance for colonization.
