It’s Getting Hot In Here

The Blaze, a news site from Glenn Beck. From his introductory letter:
The Blaze will pursue truth. Of course we will make mistakes. Honest mistakes. And we’ll be quick with corrections. We intend to earn your trust and keep it day in and day out with hard work and a lot of transparency.
I look forward to the hard hitting conspiracy theories to come from The Blaze.
This entire Alvin Greene thing has me absolutely captivated. To call this odd is really not doing the story justice. Collected for your notes, a few of Greene’s video interviews:
The Big Picture - Keith Olbermann - ABC News - PubliuSC - Shep Smith
CNN - Shep Smith
Something here is off. Way, way off. The PubliuSC interview in particular borders on either the absurd or illness and at one point, he is clearly reading from notes. Also, he’s a Democrat against unions? This story is going to end up as something incredible.
Mule Design has an excellent post pointing out some of the failings in the GOP’s America Speaking Out site. Well stated. Also, add Mule to your feeds for heavens sake.
American politics fans rejoice! The House Republicans have created America Speaking Out – a site to foster debate and allow everyday citizens to influence policy. Sound like a vibrant community filled with thoughtful political debate? I won’t make up my mind until I’m certain that the reptilians aren’t involved and more people have gotten behind a repeal of the Civil Rights Act.
With all the hubub around Farmers Markets in our fair province, I would be remiss to not point out this lady’s thoughts on the subject.
I tried to listen to as much of this as possible yesterday, which is to say, I listened to roughly half of the 11 hour testimony. Dry? You bet. Heated in parts? Sure, thanks to Levin. If you missed it, if you care, NYT has you covered with the archived live-blog coverage. Worth a read.
Ann Coulter, right-wing zealot and proponent of free speech, had her University of Ottawa speech cancelled last night. To quote Mr. Ezra Levant, “isn’t it ironic that it takes a provocative American coming to Canada to reveal the shortcomings in Canadian free speech?” Mr. Levant, I assure you that free speech is alive an well in Canada. If it weren’t, I wouldn’t feel it within my rights to declare Ms. Coulter the vile, contemptible cunt that I believe she is.

"My father always told me that the day we stop learning is the day we die. I wrote this as a sort of preparation for my 35th birthday last week."
Advertising "free glow paint before 10:30" at your club is a surefire way to keep me away.
