The Other McCain worries that his blogger-fu is fading. As someone who never had any blogger-fu to begin with I can say the shadows aren't so bad and about once a week or so you can rail against the big guys who are just getting to a story you had days ago. That always makes me feel better.

around the moronosphere in 60 minutes 4/16/09
Eddiebear rants - I think you know how I feel about people who wouldn't vote for McCain to teach the GOP a lesson. Eddiebear basically echoes it here.
Just One Minute - OPEC peers into the abyss - It's hard times for Hugo Chavez, the mullahs of Iran, the Russian oil mafia and the Saudi sheiks, yet for some reason I am not feeling their pain.
V the K - One reason America is great
Demure Thoughts - Tax Day e-cards
Becky - Michelle Muccio the Rebel Economist - Why is it that all the hot female economists are the ones that are getting it right?
Right Minds - Random Thoughts - Barack Obama hasn’t been able to find a new church yet. It must be harder to find another church run by a racist lunatic than he thought.
The Jawa Report - Lawyers, is there any fantasy they can't ruin?
The Other McCain - World's Worst Reporter - maybe they wouldn't be anti-CNN if you would let them make their point without acting like they are complete joackasses. Just saying is all.
other stuff:
A rosy economic forecast for 2010
CNN - What's driving the US over the cliff
DAWN - Russia withdrawing security forces from Chechnya - I'm not sure but it seems like the Islamists won
France 24 - More on Chechnya - The leader of the Chechnyan government is described as pro-Moscow here, but the DAWN report above describes Islam as taking a more central role in his administration.
The Economist - Signs that massive stimulus package is starting to work in China - THE Chinese consider eight to be a lucky number because it sounds like the word meaning “prosperity”. And luck, combined with a massive fiscal stimulus, may yet help the government to achieve its growth target of 8% in 2009. Earlier this year, most economists thought such growth was impossible at a time of deep global recession, but some are now nudging up their forecasts.
Yahoo Entertainment - Rudy from the Cosby show grows up - obviously she was a milk drinker.

Arond the moronosphere in 60 minutes 4/14/09 - early morning edition
0430 here but I know somewhere there is a bigger moron than me blogging so here we go-
Flopping Aces - Gitmo may remain open - stretching the actual content of the Miami Herald story a bit but the point is taken.
Powerline - Paul Krugman, World's Worst Columnist?- - So where do we get him the coffee mug for his birthday?
Bring the Heat Bring the Stupid - A montage honoring Olivia Munn - She is hot as hell and funny to boot. As a supplement I offer this video:
Protein Wisdom - Jesse Jackson Jr. In Hot Water - surely the son of that paragon of virtue Jesse Jackson would never consider doing anything wrong. It's not like his dad hasn't been extorting companies for years or anything.
The Digital Brownshirt - Swordfight in Indiana
Other Stuff:
The Register - Facebook, Twitter users are lazy, thick and amoral - Is that a problem?
The study's author went on to say that there was virtually no chance that he might be overstating the problem and that the very existence of human life was at stake. Others interviewed believe that his obsession with the evils of twitter may have something to do with the fact the fact that his cat has more followers than he does.

Essentially, over-heavy Twitter use will make you cold, cynical and facile - ultimately leaving you heartless and dead inside.
"Indifference to the vision of human suffering gradually sets in," says Castells.

Around the moronosphere in 60 minutes 4/13/09
Just One Minute - The Meltdown Of The Stevens Case - Tom Maguire draws some inferences from the race of the jury and the lead prosecutor, Brenda Morris. i.e. That the jury convicted Stevens because they were majority black and that the lead prosecutor was black. Since the jury was majority black and the prosecutor was black they had natural trust for each other and since they were all black they were probably liberal and inclined to convict Stevens. At least that's how I read his piece. I don't think he has the evidence to back that up and it's the same kind of race baiting that Al Sharpton engages in. It's wrong when we do it too.
Stop the ACLU - Obama’s Intel Services More Worried About Right-Wing Terror Than Islamists?
Becky - Patriotic Hookers Want To Be Taxed
Support Your Local Gunfighter - Another Classic Philadelphia Frak-Up - One the upside it probably got a lot of teenage boys interested in watching the Sunday mass on a regular basis.
The Other McCain - More on Right Wing Terrorism and the Department of Homeland Security - It gives the impression, undeserved or not, that the Obama administration is becoming a left-wing incarnation of the Richard Nixon administration, with lists of political enemies and wiretaps at the headquarters of their opponents.
Other Stuff:
Al Jazeera - Somali pirates vow revenge on US
Sydney Morning Herald - Pakistan in danger of collapse within months
Washington Post - India Rejects Calls For Emission Cuts - Days after the Obama administration unveiled a push to combat climate change, Indian officials said it was unlikely to prompt them to agree to binding emission cuts, a position among emerging economies that many say derails effective action.
Yahoo - More on Pakistan - Surging militant violence across Pakistan and the spread of Taliban influence through the northwest are reviving concerns about the stability of the nuclear-armed U.S. ally.

Best Wikipedia Entry Evah!
As the site which brought you the world's best craigslist ad I feel my journalistic (hah!) integrity (by the way - Yes, that is an oxymoron. we all know journalists have all the integrity of a crack-whore left alone with a bag full of rock. With the exception of Patti Ann Brown, Megyn Kelly, and Julie Banderas who get the smokin' hot waiver), requires me to search out similar examples in other forums. Today I bring you the best wikipedia entry ever:
blogs, humor
...Adherents to the site subscribe to the so-called "Ace of Spades Lifestyle", which seems to be little more than liquor, beating off, euphamistically named sex acts (such as the Dirty Sanchez and the Portuguese Breakfast), beating off, mild domestic violence, beating off, Cheetos, beating off, chick-on-chick "art films," beating off, and beating off. They are also known as the "Limp Orange Dick Society" (when they're done beating off)...

Ace of Spades (jack M.) - Obama flies chef 860 miles to make him a special pizza - An afterthought: You know, Democrats, Obama is the head of your party. You freaking own him.
So I don't want to see you lecturing the CEO's of bailout companies about using private jets to petition the government, when your guy is jetting dudes across the country to make him a few slices of 'Za.
Betsy's Page - Googling the stimulus funds - You might think that two high-ranking elected officials would have ways to learn such things, but the fact is, they don't. At the moment, the best tools Cantor and Thune have are Google and the Lexis-Nexis newspaper database.
Bitter Lawyer via Instapundit - Advancing your legal career with fake boobs
Conservative Belle - Lobbyists give a huge return on investment
Invincible Armor - Dutch TV show exonerates Osama bin Laden - Theo Van Gogh and Ayann Hirsi Ali are deeply relieved that their countrymen can no longer be considered anti-Islamic bigots.
Other Stuff
Slashdot - Red Dwarf returning - No word on a US airdate :-(
BBC - Armstrong leak riles cycling boss - The head of world cycling says France's anti-doping agency (AFLD) acted unprofessionally in a drugs test conducted on Lance Armstrong in March.
LA Times - Ethanol demand may raise food costs for needy - Law of unintended consequences baby! coupled with Global warming endangers US corn production maybe ethanol isn't the answer to our energy problems. Unless by answer you mean starving the poverty stricken to death thereby decreasing both energy and food demand.
This is just carrying things too far - NYC church tweeting the passion of the Christ. It might be time to put down the cell phone people.
And there you go another 60 minutes of my life, that I won't get back, wasted scouring the internet so you, both my imaginary readers, won't have to.

Around the Moronosphere in 60 minutes.
Doubleplusundead started this last year but it died off. Accepting the advice of The Other McCain I am reviving the format. I will post links with minimal punditry to all the interesting stories I can find in 60 minutes.
Becky - Conservative Judges A Gay Girl's Best Friend (annoying autoplay music. you were warned :-) )
D equals S - Muslim Propaganda for Kids
Protein Wisdom - Timing is everything - Gee, I sure HOPE the launch of a long-range NORK missile doesn’t CHANGE plans to cut $1-$2 billion in missile defense funds tomorrow…
Locusts and Honey - Fun Facts You'll Learn from Presidential Historian Doris Kearns Goodwin After You Get Her Drunk - Calvin Coolidge was nicknamed “Silent Cal” due to his talent for sneaking up behind political opponents and garroting them with piano wire.
This Ain't Hell - The chill wind blows over Bill Ayers - According to unrepentant domestic terrorist Billie Ayers, McCarthyism lives. That must be the reason that Americans are expressing their opinions in public that they don’t want the terrorist turned teacher to become an icon.
There ya go 60 minutes worth of plowing thru the blogroll.
