First Cup 01.19.12

Jim Lynch — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 12:18:36 +0000

The First Cup is a (sort of) daily post pointing you to some of the best posts from around the right side of the blogosphere. If you have a post that you would like considered for the First Cup, send the link to lakelandjim at gmail dot com.

I’ve been putting in a lot of time working on the 2012 GOP Convention Supersite, but I can’t ignore my main site. Here’s this morning’s roundup of posts from around the conservative side of the blogosphere.

Ed Morrissey keeps an eye on the Supreme Court as they tackle Stregulation in Sackett v EPA. Read Audio: Justice Alito oddly unimpressed with EPA procedures

Some very good news – Senator Marco Rubio has withdrawn his co-sponsorship of the PIPA bill.

My lovely Cindy is raging about Obama’s refusal to issue the Keystone permits. She’s not alone. Doug Ross says, “I love the smell of red-on-red warfare in the morning: unions vow war with Obama over Keystone XL”

Guy Benson lays out a plan for “how Republicans should respond to this mess” (Keystone) at Town Hall.

And, for those who are interested, we have hot water again.

Welcome to the post Iowa edition of the First Cup. Just 8 votes separated Romney and Santorum. Here’s what the blogosphere had to say:

For all the updates you could possibly want check out Hot Air.

Bob Owens says Iowa proves voters are idiots. I don’t think he’s wrong.

Sister Toldjah posts Iowa Caucuses – the latest depressing developments.

Michelle Malkin looks at Iowa-bashing snobs and sore losers.

Changing gears — At No Runny Eggs you can see the NRE 2011 Awards – Yesterday’s Jackass of the Year nominees and today it’s the Thank You for Existing list.

First Cup 01.02.12

Jim Lynch — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 12:17:40 +0000

Happy New Year! Yes, I know it was yesterday, but I avoided the computer pretty successfully for the day. Now, I’m ready to take a look at how the right side of the blogosphere is starting out the year.

Doug Ross details The EPA: Enemy of Civilization and backs up his thesis.

And it’s not just the EPA rockin’ the stupid into the new year. At the Jawa Report: EEOC: Employers Who Reject Stupid Job Applicants Violating Americans With Disabilities Act

Michelle Malkin reminds us of the last marine to be tried in regards to the alleged massacre of Iraqi civilians in the village of Haditha in 2005. Seven have been cleared. Remember SSgt Frank D. Wuterich: The last Haditha Marine goes on trial

The Iowa Caucus is tomorrow, so I expect a slew of stories on that over the next few days. New Hampshire is a week away, South Carolina on the 21st, and I’ll get my chance on the 31st here in Florida. 2012 will not be boring.

Here at bRight & Early I have a few goals for 2012: More (and more consistent) posting, more comments, a new look, and, silly as this may sound, more posts with pictures.

I am also still planing a blogger bash for bloggers coming to Florida for the 2012 GOP Convention. I would love to hear your thoughts and ideas about that.

Finally a reminder. We would like to expand the number of writers at Reclaim Conservatism and The Bullpen.

Have a great day! Bonus question for the comments: Is today (January 2nd) a work holiday for you, or are you back to BAU (Business as Usual)?
