In the same spirit as the fabulously successful open thread Palin Lounge, here’s the News Lounge. This post will update through the day so do scroll down for additional links and commentary. And as with the other Lounges, the usual no-links rule is lifted due to the nature of lounging and sharing :) Comments including links, however, will still be moderated. Also, please link to original sources, not just back to your blog (unless, of course, the original work is at your blog).
Let’s start with the Cartoon of the Day, brought to us by the genius of Michael Ramirez:
Foreign Policy: Obama versus Osama: guess who the Egyptians prefer?
Political Ticker: Huntsman’s future may hinge on his past
Man Robs Bank for Medical Care in Prison
Video: Allen West: Time To Get Out of Libya
What a freaking jerk: Farrah Fawcett’s cancer was possibly caused by Tatum O’Neal drama, claims father Ryan O’Neal
Report: China plans aircraft carrier test in July
Perry adds anti-groping [by the TSA] bill to special session
I watched the first episode of the O’Neal’s show on Oprah’s channel Sunday night. I’m not kidding, I cried a little at least twice just because I was remembering things from her book and you could sense Tatum’s brokeness, even in a fake tv show. It’s sad and he’s awful. And as for his commnent, notice how he never takes repsonsibility for anything he does. Farrah’s stress was from him, not Tatum.
I took a peek this morning where the ignorant lowlifes post and get their news bites (CNN News Ticker) and just about every other story there was about Huntsman! I mean this bland favorite of the elites is on the news just about everywhere! You’d think he was tied for the lead rather than trailing the pack with his usual 1% support in the polls.
Push harder media elites, push harder! Lol. Huntsman’s going nowhere.
tammy have u spoken about deepak chopra lately? he’s seems to be a sociialist FRAUD! read his last article about sarah palin…disgusting!!
Tammy, go to the Stage Deli. have the mazobal soup and a new york cheesecake. steal the menu. Created by Dong Kingman.. my ex mother in law’s uncle. Great artist. Back in the day, when the deli opened the owner could not afford a menu cover.Dong offered to create for free, the owner said OK, create and you eat for free. 40 years later, we’re having dinner and it’s still free..
I have two Kingman originals and he has a permament showing at the Conagher gallery in SF.
P.S. .. I would have been perfectly happy with no TAM podcasts for three days while you were having a great time in NYC. You deserve it. But thanks.
Aloha Nui Loa
May I also recommend a stop at Pulino’s…I recommend
the breakfast pizza. (No. I’m not kidding.)
This may be a silly question, but how does one go about reaching you? I couldn’t find a Contact link anywhere on your homepage, and I’d like to submit a link to you. Thanks! (Came over from C4Palin.)
Hi there, feel free to send anything along to Gina at tamservice [at] tammybruce.com, she’ll get it over to me right away :) Thanks.

The media seems to adore Huntsman. He’s obviously the candidate of the David Brooks/David Frum/Kathleen Parker/Joe Scarborough/Chrissy Buckley wing of the Republican Party. In other words, the Huntsman is beloved by those who want the GOP to remain second class citizens begging for the likes of Urkel and Bolshevik Barbie to throw them scraps from the table. Just say no to the Huntsman unless you want a kinder and gentler version of John McCain.
Dude! You have a way with words! Glad you’re on our side!
