Friday blog rounds again today as the media still continues to mourn the passing of Anna Nicole Smith. And for the life of me I know not why. Yes, she was a human being. Yes, she was a mother. But in my personal opinion, she was immoral, and barely worth the notice that the media gave her. Now, onto the rounds ....
... and we will start with two fine columnists from Town Hall. The first is the anchor of the blogs, a very funny woman, and one that has had her share of time on TV defending conservatism, Mary Katherine Ham is ripping on the Edwards campaign on their choice of hiring Amanda Marcotte, and then after she created havoc for him, he refused to fire her. He kept her on, and it was all based on keeping the fever-swamp Left in his camp.
Next up is Mona Charen who is discussing the conservatism of Rudy Giuliani. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Rudy Giuliani is a conservative. Social conservatives and single-issue voters will have a hard time voting for him. But next to Rudy there is only one other conservative that has a chance of winning, and everyone should know who we are talking about.
Michelle Malkin notes that Nartional Review has taken an interest in Rudy, and notes that they hope he is running like he is going to win. The goes double for us because we know a McCain nomination will hand the Democrats the White House in 2008. THAT, cannot be allowed to happen. Far too many Democrats are campaigning on a withdrawal from the war.
Over at the "emperor's" sitre, Hugh is discussing nuclear terrorism prevention, and weighing it againstthe global warming morons. The key 'graph:
If, for example, the likelihood of nuclear terrorism over the course of the next 50 years is rated higher than that of the worst consequences of global warming occurring, then there ought to be some correlation between the amount urged for expenditure on the former versus that urged for expenditure on the latter. Global warming alarmists may counter that their worst case scenarios involve costs far in excess of those associated with one or even a few nuclear incidents, and that argument may be valid.
Indeed. The global warming nuts will not even contemplate what sort of devastation nuclear terrorism could even bring to the environment. The idea that global warming is a greater risk than nuclear terrorism is laughable. We can point to the effects of a nuclear weapon being detonated on US soil, and it's immediate after effects, but the global warming kooks cannot provide the same sort of analysis, using present day information. We can, and no offense we need monitoring equipment that can track such things.
Captain Ed and a number of other bloggers (notably, John and Paul @ Power Line) that CBS News held a discussion with over the McCain outreach efforts to the blogs. Interesting read, and one I recommend to our readers.
And in conclusion of the rounds today, I offer up Paul's post on religious Democrats and their unhappiness with John Edwards retaining Amanda Marcotte. Paul notes that this move by Edwards could be extremely destructive to his campaign were he a front runner. But it is quite obvious that Edwards lacks the talent and charisma to be a front runner, let alone an also-ran.
