Two Things That Made Me Smile Tonight

1)

2)

Wednesday Linkage

* In the “nothing more important happening” department, a bill has been introduced to “bar commercials from being broadcast at louder volumes than the program material they accompany.” At least it ain’t monkeys?

* McCain announced a $300m prize for alternative energy. This editorial in the Denver Post pretty much nails it.

* Governor Palin of Alaska wants the 2000 acres in ANWR opened to drilling. That McCain is where he is on ANWR is frustrating.

* RedState breaks down Obama’s energy plan. Requisite snark alert.

* Cato lists off some of Gov. Pawlenty’s resume, given that he’s an apparent frontrunner for McCain’s VP slot. If McCain’s looking to shore up his conservative credentials, he’ll likely have to look elsewhere.

* Wizbang promotes a comment addressing the oft-heard “we’re in the worst mess ever” meme. Fairly good points.

Slow day, I suppose. I finished Matt Welch’s McCain: The Myth of a Maverick last night, so hopefully I can crank out some posts for the remainder of the week tonight. Hopefully.
