Coffee makes us severe, and grave, and philosophical. ~ Johnathan Swift

Captain’s Quarters (Ed Morrissey) A Fine Whine About Immigration Reform — “The Washington Post offers up a typical doomsday scenario in order to highlight the lack of progress on comprehensive immigration reform, but winds up demonstrating everything wrong about the reformers’ economic arguments. Sonya Geis allows growers full vent about their disappearing work force, but never quite makes the connection between their labor shortfall and the compensation they offer:”

Blue Crab Boulevard Strategies For Winning – In 2008 — “John Fund tells us we’re all freaks. Well, not really. He’s actually reviewing a book by Mark Halperin, the political director of ABC News, and John Harris, the political editor for the Washington Post, titled The Way to Win. They argue that the internet has become a freak show that distracts from the old media gatekeeper model.”

GOP Bloggers (Mark Noonan) Dick Polman’s Propaganda Broadsheet — “The left side of the aisle was asserting in 1998 that Clinton was innocent even though proven guilty, while in 2006 those very same people are saying the entire GOP is guilty because one member of the Party turned out to be a degenerate (and a whiner, too…now he’s claiming he was molested by a priest as a young boy; poor little Mark Foley). The level of hypocrisy on the left side of the aisle is astounding. Tell ya what, lefties, once you get Kennedy, Byrd, Frank, Emanuel, Reid, McDermott, Jefferson, Pelosi, etc, etc, etc to resign over their corrupt practices, then come over here to the right and start casting stones.”
