Miscellany (amusing things not fitting above, or below):

SECTION THREE: Politics: The neverending battle against blithering idiocy:
People doing potentially good things (including sightings of politicians doing something less than totally idiotic):
Glenn Reynolds: Nashville Shows Tea Party Is America's Third Great Awakening-- We'll put Professor Reynolds down as a "fan."
Tea Party Post Mortem
Any interest in a Purple Team?
Sarah Palin Power -- Is it a coincidence that the "Tea Party Convention" was held in the Volunteer State?
Sarah Palin is splitting the liberals
The reason Sarah Palin will be President in 2012, distilled in one picture
Sarah Palin and the Tea Party Zeitgeist -- Obama will have to start directly attacking Palin soon. When he does, that will be the sign that he recognizes his Presidency is doomed. He will not be able to win a PR fight with Palin. She's better at it than he is. He connects with what people think they want to be. She connects with what people are.
Did You Feel the Earth Move?
Fallout From Sarah Palin’s Kentucky Senate Endorsement of Rand Paul
Sarah Palin is too polarizing! -- Yes, but she polarizes exactly the people the rest of us need to be worried about so it's all good!
What about a POLAR TEAM to help Palin?
Obama v Palin … Palin?
Palin Mocks Liberals -- Who, of course, richly deserve mocking on a regular basis . . .
Every Time Sarah Takes the Stage, Her Impact Is as Big as D.C.'s Blizzard

The reality of President Obama as a blithering idiot (and he's the President, so he gets credit, if that's the word, for the entire Executive Branch):
The Difference Between Using a Teleprompter and Notes
Sarah Palin Calls for Eric Holder & Rahm Emanuel to Resign (Video) -- In a sane world, the whole lot of them would look in the mirror tomorrow morning and realize "Oh, my God, we ARE blithering idiots!" and rush to the microphones to resign.
Obama's Antidisestablishmentarianism and the Tea Partiers

The reality of Washington Democrats (and Independents, and Socialists) as blithering idiots:
Who'll Call the Blue Dogs Out?

The reality of Washington Republicans as blithering idiots:
Yeah, they're there. They're just laying low, I guess.

Other blithering idiots at large making life difficult for regular folks:
They're flying below the radar today, too . . .

Opposition Research: because blithering idiocy can be dangerous, especially when organized into idiotic groups with idiotic ideologies:
Does Palin Derangement Syndrome Know No Bounds? -- THE HAND! THE HAND! AIEEEE!!!!
Obama’s Smart Move in Health Care Debate, but it’s fraught with risks for Democrats, huge risks -- The Republicans have to get up in this meeting, one after the other, and say, firmly, "Why wasn't this meeting held a year ago?" Obama needs to be called on his reckless, arrogant governing style.
Palin Exposes Misogyny In The Democratic Base, Again
Deficit Spending – Pimping The Great Lie
Frances Fox Piven: Glenn Beck Seeks ‘Foreign, Dark-Skinned, Intellectual’ Scapegoats-- The worst thing about pimping the "Cloward-Piven Strategy" is that the name "Cloward-Piven" sounds so incredibly stupid . . .

The Keith Olbermann Memorial "Special Comment" on blithering idiots in the Media:
Palin’s 6 Words vs. Media’s Ignorance to the Real News
The Associated Press Sees What Isn't There
As counter-media fuels tea party movement, main stream media catches on

SECTION FOUR: Case Studies in Blithering Idiocy
"Global warming" aka "Climate change" -- or should that be "Climate Reform?":

“The Green Police?” -- "The Green Police, they live inside of my head . . ."

Health care "reform" aka health insurance "reform" -- or should that be health care "change?" Perhaps "Global healthing?:
Media Ignore Health Gains

Squeezing the Job Creators -- Why is the Democrat solution to job creation to take money away from the job creators?
Europe Risks Another Global Depression

Foreign affairs and National Security (Will blithering idiots get us all killed, or make us all speak Spanish--or Chinese--or Arabic--or all three?):
China shuts down largest hacker training website
Generation Kill


The Morning Whip is a (mostly) daily review of what's out there that caught my attention, sometimes but not always posted before 11 am Central time in the U. S. of A., unless I just don't feel like it that day, am out doing something more important or more fun, or I've been abducted, detained, arrested, or otherwise flummoxed by the agents of blithering idiotry.

I surf the Web, so you don't have to! (which would be a trademark, but come on, who am I kidding?)
