Questioning Maxine Waters Makes You Racist, Bill Clinton’s No Biologist and Video of Every Turbo Boost Ever Used on Knight Rider – Your Weekend Links

I’ve been slacking on these since I came back from CPAC, but I know that a lot of people like the rapid nature of speed links, so here are your weekend links:

  • Sen. Maxine Waters seems to have directed TARP money to a bank that didn’t really qualify for it.  Did I mention “her husband, Sidney Williams, served on the bank board until early last year and held at least $500,000 in investments in the bank in 2007, the most recent year for which public financial disclosure statements are available.”  And if you think she did anything wrong, you are a racist.  Big surprise.
  • Michelle Malkin has more coverage on Waters here.
  • Speaking of TARP money, it seems more and more banks are turning it down.  Why?  It comes with too many strings attached.  While, how can you be a puppet without the strings?
  • Gun sales are still high.  In Oregon, one gun shop owner “reports that he’s sold more guns, rifles and handguns during a three-month interval since the elections than in the past nine hunting seasons combined.”
  • According to Investor’s Business Daily, Minnesota “is offering a program to Muslims who want to buy a home but don’t want to break their religion’s laws about interest.”  Whatever happened to separation of church and state, or mosque and state in this instance?
  • Vice President Joe Biden directed $1.3 billion to “an absolute national treasure and necessity.”  What was it?  Amtrak, a government run train system that hasn’t made a profit in 40 years.  $1.3 billion to something that bleeds money and only 78,000 people a day use.  That’s your government at work.
  • Bill Clinton is a Rhodes Scholar.  He’s repeatedly been called one of the most intelligent presidents in history.  Why then doesn’t he know that an embryo is already fertilized?  He’s too smart for basic biology, I guess.  Like Doug Powers said, “You’d think that if anybody would know the rules of the fertilization process, it would be Bill Clinton. Sperm on egg = embryo. Sperm on dress = impeachment, no embryo.”
  • The Holy Grail of comics, Action Comics #1, recently sold for $300,000.  Action Comics #1, for those not cool enough to know this already, is the first appearance of Superman.
  • Kansas City just held its fourth weekly tea party.  They marched on Claire McCaskill’s office, and surprisingly, she voted against the omnibus bill.  Grassroots activism at work.
  • Remember when Joe said the world was going to test Barack Obama?  Russia may put strategic bombers in Cuba.  And Venezuela.  Go ahead and open your tests…..now!
  • Robert Stacy McCain has compiled a nice set of links detailing how the true believers are starting to doubt Barack Obama.  Guess that makes me ahead of the game.  I doubted him from the get-go.
  • And for our idiot portion of the links, here’s a story about a guy who tried to rob a Tae Kwon Do studio.

Finally, here’s a video compilation of every Turbo Boost ever used in Knight Rider:
