Morning Blog, I don't Want to go to Work Edition

Algeria's radical diet craze that's sweeping the nation!

Does this surprise anybody? Anybody at all? Just speak up if you're shocked......Anybody? Crickets...

And yet, tea partiers continue to be described as 'libertarian' both by the media and themselves. Let's be clear here....You don't get to use that label if you're only interested in the rights you like. You don't get to call yourself libertarian if you're in favor of a smaller bureaucracy with regards to health care, but would love to see the creation of a Department of Whatcha Doin' with that Fella.

Nope, just one in a couple of years.

Our friends in the Middle East. How strange that this would happen in a society with such profoundly enforced sexual repression? You could probably file this under "Sad, Sad Hypocrisy Watch".

Last one for the day.

You gotta be kidding me. Firefighters watch a families house burn down because they hadn't paid a $75 subscription fee. Way to go heroes.
