All The Links That Are Fit To Click (And One That Isn’t)

Alright, I’m going to warn you right now… there’s a picture at the bottom of this post that might make you spew your Wheaties. I’ve censored it to some degree, but it’s still pretty darn rough…

Having said that, on with the roundup:

Michelle Malkin, God bless her, is always a good source for the latest and most intriguing items. Like this one:

Air America is being investigated in New York for diverting federal/local funds--possibly "hundreds of thousands of dollars"--meant for inner-city kids and seniors into the station's coffers.

Hey, look… those seniors need liberal nutballs on the radio arguing against the Bush Social Security plan MORE than they need Meals On Wheels, right? And, those inner city kids are far better off hearing the astute opinions of Janeane Garafalo and Al Franken than they would be with after school programs and and clean, healthy summer activities. Right? RIGHT?

Congratulations, Air America. Along with Affirmative Action and low income housing, you’re doing your part to help the liberals keep the minorities down.

Kelly at Paradoxes and Problems has a really good discussion going about libertarianism. I lean libertarian on a lot of issues, and I’ve been interested in what she has to say. There’s been a lot of good comments in the comments section, too. I won’t paraphrase or quote anything here, I’ll just encourage you to get over there and participate.

You’ve heard about South Park Republicans… how about Bono Republicans? As a conservative U2 fan, I like the sound of it. Anika at Till We Have Faces, who lives in the DC area, had an interesting conversation with some co-workers the other day:

…one of the Republicans is a really quiet girl who doesn't speak up very much in the group setting, and the other Republican is a very vocal, very yuppie-white-male-capitalist-atheist, "I think, therefore I'm a Republican," type. I tell him that I'm not his sort of Republican. Actually, everyone was surprised to discover that I was a big red "R". As one of my more liberal colleagues said to me, "I don't get you -- you're so compassionate," -- her exact words, I kid you not -- "and you're a Republican?!? And you like Bruce Springsteen? I've never met a Republican like you."

Read the whole thing at Till We Have Faces.

I thought I’d been having some odd dreams since I’ve been taking Percocet for my back… but Jamie Dawn has really topped me. She received some heavy duty enlightenment in a dream the other night, and you might be surprised to learn what she’s come to understand about all of us. As for me:

If you were born on the 30th or 31st, then you are truly blessed beyond measure. Health and prosperity are yours for the next year if you eat a can of beets while singing "Bohemian Rhapsody."

Jamie Dawn is always funny, always interesting… and this time, she’s outdone herself.

Opinion Journal is celebrating the fifth anniversary of Best of the Web. Check it out, there’s always good reading there.

And now, that graphic photo I warned you about.

That’s from the “Breasts, Not Bombs” anti-war rally in Berkley on July 23rd.

War is indecent. Sure. And big hairy women with their naked breasts hanging down around their hips are wonderful family fair.

Click here for coverage (pardon the pun), but consider yourself warned... these are at least "R" rated photos, and they aren't "R" rated in that guilty pleasure, pleasant to look at kind of way. They're "R" rated in that jab-wildly-at-the-monitor-trying-to-turn-it-off kind of way.

Why do the lyrics from a Marilyn Manson song come to mind?

Shout your stupid slogan and
Everybody sing along!
Do we get it? No!
Do we want it? Yeah!
This is the new sh**,
Stand up and admit!

Thanks, I think, to Little Green Footballs for the link on that one.

Now get out there and start clickin'.
