URL Round-up


A passel of links for your reading and perusing pleasure:

* From Insight on the News magazine comes this story about the Income Tax War. Some interesting tidbits and more of the usual spin. Note that all the quotes are from the pro-IT side.

* Free Republic is the premier conservative news and discussion forum on the 'Net. Some amazing on-site reporting from the income tax protests was posted there, and many pictures. Gail A. is a Memphian who regularly posts there, catching whatever stories she finds on the Income Tax War. You can bookmark this page to zero in on Tennessee stories.

* Sine Qua Non Pundit is a blogger who frequently skewers Richard Cohen, the Washington Post columnist who can often be found in the pages of the Memphis Flyer. He does a much better job than we could at taking apart Cohen, so we'll post links to him whenever a new jab comes up.

* Bill Hobbs has already mentioned this one but, in case you are one of the foolish who doesn't check his blog daily, we will also post this link to a Tennessean story whose title should warn you: "Incumbents say tax issue won't hurt re-election efforts." Polls and whispers say very much otherwise. Don't these folks ever get tired of their circle jerks?

* A couple of bits, a little on the old side but worth the read, from TownHall, an excellent site that pulls together most of the important conservative newspaper and television pundits, columnists and commentators. Two Bob Novak items. First, this one about Lamar!'s chances on August 1 (scroll to the bottom). Then this one about Gore's speech in Memphis last weekend and the poor national reception it got. (Somewhere we ran across a story pointing out that this is not the first time Gore has said, "To hell with polling, let 'er rip." He did it several years ago, almost word for word, and you can see it did him little good. We'll post the link when we rediscover it.)

Until next time, that is all.
