    William K. Wolfrum’s Morning – August 2, 2010

    Vampire Baby. Yes, we've come to that.
    Vampire Babies. Yes, we’ve reached the point of a demand for Vampire Babies. I just have to believe these are the death throes of a dying fad.

    Wolfrum’s Word

    Is anyone really talking that much about the Pentagon’s inability to account for $8.7 billion in Iraqi reconstruction funds?

    Maybe this is just me – a naive idealist, – but I believe if I were in a national media position, I’d say “Hey, $8.7 billion? That seems like a lot.” Or something like that. Because I think there might be a story there.

    News/Politics

    V-I Day!: The mission is finally over in Iraq. Except for that baseball-stadium sized group we’re leaving out their to mop up.

    The BP Oil Disaster: Honestly, I have no no idea whatsoever of what’s going on in the Gulf of Mexico, anymore. Notch another one for the BP/U.S. PR strategy. Someone dumb it down for me.

    People

    Drew Carrey: He lost 80 pounds. You suck.

    Lindsay Lohan is Free: And Topless! Ok, sue me. I’m trying out the HuffPo Strategy, after all.

    Blogs

    Ramona’s Voices: C-Span veers to the Right. Plus: A look at some fine blogs (including this one!).

    The Rational Middle: It’s time to invest in America.

    Tomfoolery: Thomas Sowell is Hitler. Argument over.

    The Good Blog: A question people need to start asking – Where is that $8.7 billion?

    Osbourne Ink: Matt Osbourne gets trippy at Area 51:

    Comment of the Week

    “I happened to find this blog quite by accident and I hope that this blog and all of the subsequent post are just moronic attempts at satire. If in fact any of you are serious I hope that you remember that the majority of us Red Staters and a large amount of conservative Blue Staters are armed, well versed in woodscraft, and a good number of us are prior military. If the situations you are commenting on were to ever arise be forewarned that I, and a great many others, are probably going to actively hunt and destroy you, your family, pets, property, etc. We will not play nice with others.”

    GunGuy45 at Open Salon, responding to the post “Obama Death Squads, FEMA Camps must be liberal.” A hunch: This dude has seen “Red Dawn” 207 times.
