Friday Linkorama

  • Homeless man shines shoes to lift himself out of the gutter. Bureaucrat reads about it in paper. You know what happens next.
  • The economic stimulus is making states fight over the scraps from the government table. Charming.
  • The IRS wants to license tax preparers. I might be prepared to countenance this if the IRS could fill out tax forms correctly.
  • The city of Austin, never one to pass up an opportunity or stupid feelgoodism, mandates energy audits for new home sales. ‘Cuz, you know, the home market is too brisk right now.
  • The GOP has decided that the only reason they are losing is media bias. Apparently having no ideas and thoroughly betraying everything about conservatism isn’t their problem.
