While the Candyman-in-Chief was busy selling our grandchildren into servitude in a Denver museum (why the hell do it in Denver, anyway?), Michelle Malkin was busy outside hosting an anti-pork pig roast for anyone who wanted some...and according to the staff of the local blog Slapstick Politics, who had a front-row seat for the festivities, quite a few people did.

The proprietors of Little Green Footballs are following the race to fill a Virginia delegate seat being vacated soon. As it happens, one of the potential hopefuls for the seat sits on the Virginia Commission on Immigration...oh yeah, and also an old friend of the Muslim Brotherhood. (Go on. Name that party.)

Meanwhile, take a gander at...well, pretty much anything by Chuck Ziegenfuss. It's a rare day to find one of his observations that ISN'T bang-on. Today, he has some pretty sharp things to say about how things got to where they are today.

The Jawa Report focuses today on the situation in a valley in Pakistan, through the eyes of one who wisely decided to bug out while she had the chance...and how IT got to where it is today.

Finally, Dr. Mike Adams, Professor of Criminology at UNC-Wilmington, relates a tale of the rollicking good times one can have in a Speech class. (Unless, of course, you happen to be a Christian who hasn't yet learned what "speech" means on a college campus these days.)
