Sunday evening reading

When former Salisbury blogger Bill Duvall had the Duvafiles blog (which closed after the 2008 election) he had a regular Sunday feature called “Sunday Evening Reading” that simply linked to interesting items he found over the previous few days. While I may or may not do this every week, I thought with the amount of reading I do for this website it would be a good idea to allocate the title and tradition, so here goes.

The editors of the Center for Individual Freedom recently opined on how to redefine conservative governance, particularly at a time when the country is moving away from it. Wait, let me take that back: the GOVERNMENT is moving away from it. The organization also points out the skewed poll which claimed Americans are foursquare behind healthcare reform.

Speaking of that sore subject (pun intended), a recent editorial in the Washington Examiner asks a logical question: why not fix Medicare first?

And then we have other pieces on government run amok. One of my favorite bloggers, Hans Bader, dug deep into new Obama Administration regulations which will more risky loans to low-income borrowers. Look for this bailout, oh, about 2017.

One postmortem to the cap-and-trade energy tax that passed could be filed under the category, “Dude, where’s my bill?” David Freddoso at the Washington Examiner explains.

I’ll take it easy on you all this week and actually wrap up with some pop culture. On the American Thinker website, I found Rick Moran wasn’t quite as fawning about the late Michael Jackson as most. But he has nothing on Tim Patterson at Gunpowder Chronicle, who termed the deceased King of Pop a “pervert.”

(Just as an aside, isn’t it amazing how celebrity deaths seem to come in threes? In the space of a week we lost Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, and Michael Jackson. Then in aside #2, the death of pitchman Billy Mays just went and screwed my theory up.)

Hopefully this is not a bad start and beats reading the continual bickering between local bloggers.
