Odd lot

A few good short reads left over in the link collection today.

Josh Marshall had an interesting post on the limo company at the center of the Cunningham scandal receiving a $21 million contract to ferry DHS officials around. I'm not particularly shocked by that but I do wonder why the hell our DHS officials are being chauffeured around in limos in the first place. Shouldn't security people be a little more in touch with the public they're protecting?


Thehim at ReLoad never lets us down. Check out the daily dish there and don't forget to play a game of zonk while you're at his pad. He points us to a picture said to be worth much more than a thousand words. It's destined to become a classic.

Risingsons has a fascinating look inside the world of the CEO with Conservative thoughts on Corporate Welfare. Surprisingly they're against it. In fact they sound kind of like us these days. Even they are worried about the Bushenomic house of cards.

And last but not least, a huge thanks to Mike at Crooks and Liars for linking to The Impolitic in his blog roundup. Appreciate the encouragement.
