Little Green Footballs:- Another oil drilling platform has exploded in the Gulf of Mexico, but luckily no workers were killed. The latest reports say that officials don't know whether oil is leaking from the well; but it was not producing oil and gas at the time of the explosion.

Little Green Footballs:- Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer are taking a page from the Glenn Beck playbook, and banning all signs at their upcoming shameless attempt to capitalize on America's memories of 9/11 to demonize Muslims.

And leave it at that. But of course, we're already seeing some extremely partisan bloggers trying to put him in the "left wing" category, simply because his weird views sprang out of a kind of extreme environmentalism. (I'm not sure how caring for the environment makes one a "left winger," but that's another topic.)

Michelle Malkin:- Far Left Democrat Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon championed a federal individual health care mandate, wrote it into his own legislation, and voted it into law.

The Democratic bill, which failed [...]
