Steele Wins RNC Chair, Michelle Malkin’s Housewarming Gift for Obama and Three Planes Full of Beer – Your Weekend Links

Generally, I don’t do a lot of writing on the weekends, but I was thinking about reviving an old practice of speedlinking different articles that I find interesting.

If you like this idea, leave a comment below saying so.

Anyway, here’s this weekends links:

  • Michael Steele is now the RNC Chairman. When will the racist attacks start from the left? Remember, we were taught by the left that “party trumps race.”
  • Straight out of “Atlas Shrugged,” Missouri Senator and Obama myrmidon Claire McCaskill is going to introduce legislation that will “cap compensation for employees of any private company that accepts federal dollars because of the economic downturn.”

    Look at it like this: a struggling company won’t be able to pay top dollar to the people who are steering the helm because they are hurting so bad they had to get a bailout. Now why, if you were part of this company, would you stay on in a position that paid far less than you could get somewhere else? How are businesses like this supposed to attract the best help? That’s why the best minds are in business and not government.

  • A Chicago school teacher was projecting a huge picture of President Barack Obama on the wall next to the flag for the Pledge. Indoctrination anyone? Parents complained and the practice was stopped. Like Van Helsing wrote over at Right Wing News, “The price of liberty is eternal vigilance.”

    I think he got that from someone else though.

  • Michelle Malkin has a housewarming gift for our cold blooded new president.
  • Red State fisks the media’s treatment of Obama’s attempt to enter the White House through a window. Remember when Bush tried to open that locked door in China? Did Obama’s mistake get the same treatment? You know it didn’t. He’s brilliant, so we can explain it away.
  • Did you know Iraqis are voting again today? And no one is dying or getting blown up? Seems the war is not lost after all, Sen. Reid. Hat Tip: Althouse
  • Scappleface shows Obama’s brilliant method of increasing tax revenues:

    “The president’s plan is simple but ingenious,” said White House spokesman Robert Gibbs, “He targets wealthy individuals who filed inaccurate tax forms, cheating the government out of tens of thousands of dollars. Then he just nominates them for cabinet positions. They suddenly see the error of their ways, and they cut checks for the full amount owed, plus interest.”

  • Q and O has moved. Here’s their new site. Pretty snazzy.
  • The Absurd Report shows, rather humorously, why it is important to check your child’s homework.
  • With Bush out of the White House, who will the left turn to as the Republican whipping boy? Ben Smith says it’s El Rushbo. I say that’s a bad move.
  • You are not going to believe this one. The new stimulus bill that passed the House with zero Republicans voting for it has in it a government plan to buy new cars and then crush them. No, I am not kidding.
  • How calm is Iraq these days? Calm enough that our troops just had three planes worth of beer flown in for the Super Bowl.

And now for something completely different:
