Around the Moronosphere 7/30/09

The last couple days have sucked it has been hot enough here that I literally can't sit at my desktop computer to do these roundups or the heat from it has me sweating so bad that i start leaving sweat puddles on the desk. In addition unless I want to get in the middle of a blogwar between RS McCain, Casandra at Villainous Company, Donald Douglas at American Power and Dan Riehl there just hasn't been much to glean from the other blogs. Maybe today will be different.

Three Beers Later - A rule 5 bikini contest - gotta love the description of the guys blog "An Experiment in Adjusting an Alcohol-based Reality Filter. The more beer you drink, the more the world seems to make sense. I'm not sure if this is the beer's fault, or the world's. Experiments proceed. For pigeonholing purposes, I consider myself a South Park Conservative: I believe in Loose Women and Tight Borders but I'm getting anime porn and legally mandated lounges for day laborers...further adjustment to the model may be needed.

Uneasy Silence - Uh Oh! Windows 7 Activation Cracked!-

When will companies learn that DRM and product activations don’t work? When people are determined to do something they WILL do it! Case and point, not more then two months until Windows 7 launches, it has been cracked with an OEM activation code.

Ace of Spades - To Coin a Phrase, It's Time for the Birthers to Move On (.org) -

Birtherism is Bad. It's bad for you; it's bad for me. More importantly and for obvious reasons it's bad for the Republican Party. And most importantly it's bad for America. It is fundamentally anti-democratic. It is inherently anti-constitutional. Let me explain:

The Birthers want the courts to void an election and overthrow a President. That is not something that the Constitution gives courts the authority to do. In fact, the Founders kept the courts away from elections and away from sitting presidents. Ultimately, the Constitution gives Congress the power to unseat Presidents. Not the courts. Hence, when I say that Birtherism is inherently anti-constitutional, I mean they are asking for something so heinously contrary to American tradition that it makes my blood boil.

Bravo!

Betsy - The Justice Department's interpretations of rights that jihadist inmates have in prison -

Debra Burlingame, the sister of the pilot who died on Flight 77, the one that was flown into the Pentagon, has a chilling column today. Obama's Justice Department has given in to a hunger strike by Richard Reid, the shoe bomber who tried to blow up a plane over the Atlantic, to grant him more rights in prison to meet with other Muslims in prayer. Burlingame reminds us that Reid is in a supermax prison along with a Who's Who of Al Qaeda members who regard themselves as obligated to continue their jihad against America.

STEPHEN MARCHE IN ESQUIRE: via Instapundit -

So far, the first African-American presidency has been one of the worst ever for African-Americans. The economic crisis has predominantly hit non-white working class men; the collapse of the auto industry is threatening to destroy the basis of the Midwestern black middle class. Key matters for African-Americans languish — the overincarceration of young black men that makes a mockery of American justice being the number one example. Government aid? That goes to bankers in Connecticut. If the President were white, there would be riots.”

Little Green Footballs - Another attempt at satisfying Birther's fanatic claims - Unfortunately I think that this one just gives them ammo. In the 1962 Certificate of Live Birth that he shows it lists the Hospital or where the birth occured. The 2007 copy that Obama provided does not. Birthers are going to be on that like stink on shit
