Wednesday SOTU Aftermath Open Comments

Well, I didn’t watch the State of the Union speech. I was busy judging decorated potty lids. It was a tough decision, deciding which I’d rather be doing. From what I’ve heard so far, I made the right choice.
The door is open, I’ve removed the newspaper from the couch, and the fridge is all yours. Come on in and talk amongst yourselves while I finish waking up.

I just paid my Harris County property tax online with an echeck. There’s some guy named Lawrence that lurks here who hates Paul Bettencourt, but Tax Man Paul modernized the tax office during his tenure. I no longer do my own prop tax protesting, but back when I did, I sure liked how much of the research I could do… Read more »

I first heard of the seriousness of Egypt’s riots on Huge Hewitt’s openenig comments today. He stressed that this should be on America’s mind right now. I think he’s right.

I know y’all birfers were getting excited…. Evans, who says he has been a close friend of Abercrombie since the 1980s, appeared on Minnesota’s KQRS radio last week and said he’d been told by the governor himself that Obama’s birth certificate was nowhere to be found. Evans told KQRS on Jan. 20: “Yesterday, talking to Neil’s office, Neil says that… Read more »

Wagon #40; I saw that story earlier today and I too got put off with the protests and their main reason to protest. But while I thought it was cool for a state to have an official gun, I wondered exactly what was motivating this particular drive. Then I spotted the reason: Republican Rep. Carl Wimmer said the state should… Read more »

Ex-Congressman Shoescrapings is apparently as bad a lawyer as he was a Congressman. Former Rep. Alan Grayson, D-Fla., did not disappear after losing his seat in Congress.

I’m not sure what the biases of the Miami Herald is, other than its a McClatchy paper, but they are reporting something a bit different than what Debka is. CAIRO — An uneasy calm returned Wednesday to downtown Cairo, with protesters vowing to continue their efforts to topple the U.S.-backed authoritarian Egyptian regime even as momentum appears to have dissipated.… Read more »

I have a 40 year old certified copy (of a microfiche version) of my original “long form” birth certificate. Recently I needed to get a birth certificate for my mom, so while I was at it I also requested a couple of copies of mine, one for each daughter in case I lost it. What arrived in the mail looked… Read more »

Here’s a good op/ed on last week’s non-controversy that caused so many “theologically illiterate” to have a conniption fit: Clearly, given the context, the governor was not speaking about extending civil rights only to a select group, whether that group is identified by class, race or religion. Nor is there any indication that he “condemned the beliefs of non-Christians,” as… Read more »

From the linkie-thingie in Pyro’s #78:

Supporters of the ‘6 April’ movement, the opposition al-Ghad party, the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood, the al-Wafd party and supporters of former UN nuclear watchdog chief Mohammed El Baradei took part in the protest.

No wonder that SOB couldn’t find any nukes in Iran.

It seems Debka is the source for the (as yet) unconfirmed Mubarak rumor.
Not the best source.
Its the WND for Middle East affairs.

Claire Berlinski of Ricochet.com (she lives in Turkey) is reporting the Mubarak family has fled the nation of Egypt. There has been a complete news blackout for days now and no one really knows what is going on. Videos of riots and general civil unrest are leaking out onto the web. This is extremely serious for America, the Middle East… Read more »
