Blog Roundup, this week in an easy 1 to 10 fashion. This better keep you god damn occupied!<\/p>\n

1. Why the media hates Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Did you notice a pattern? Both Paul and Kucinich are against the influence of lobbyists, war profiteers, deficit spending, and big government, to name just a few.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

2. Conveniently, it seems everyone in Washington has forgotten that the National Intelligence Estimate says that Iran is a virtual non-threat in regards to a WMD program. Ablogistan covers<\/a> the 2008 Defense Authorization Act:<\/p>\n

Congress finds that Iran maintains a nuclear program in continued defiance of the international community while developing ballistic missiles of increasing sophistication and range that:
\n(1) pose a threat to–
\n(A) the forward-deployed forces of the United States;
\n(B) North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) allies in Europe; and
\n(C) other allies and friendly foreign countries in the region; and
\n(2) eventually could pose a threat to the United States homeland.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And don’t forget that<\/a> “An overwhelming majority of Iranians, 70 percent, favor normal relations and trade with the United States, a nationwide poll conducted by Terror Free Tomorrow has found.” Ooooops.<\/p>\n

3. Deputy Dog covers the most controversial boardgames<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

4. Joey DeVilla tracks 70 scenes from Simpsons scenes and their reference movies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

5. The Science of Stimulus<\/a> by Russ Roberts.<\/p>\n

…One answer is that a healthy patient doesn’t need medicine. But the other possibility is that it’s all hot air. Maybe we don’t know how to make a $14 trillion economy move very quickly. And if we did, it would take a lot more than an injection of even 125 billion dollars.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

6. No wonder we make fun of Christians.<\/a><\/p>\n

7. 130 billion gallons of fresh water to produce 41 billion gallons of bottled water. Oh yeah, another 18 million barrels of oil to make the bottles. Kind of a waste?<\/a><\/p>\n

8. Obama to End Federal Raids on Medical Marijuana Patients<\/a>.<\/p>\n

9. No Rich People were harmed in making this recession<\/a><\/p>\n

10. And for those of us discouraged enough with the economy and politics at large to spend the remainder of one’s days in a drug-induced coma… it’s how to get high on a can of coke!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
