Something New - Daily Reads

Since I don't really have the time, energy, motivation, words, etc to put together any rational and well thought out posts, I'm going to share some interesting articles and blog posts that I come across every day or two, or three. I'll try to add some commentary or a short summary with each link.

Michelle Malkin is hosting a little "contest" for the best "Photoshopped" Obamacare posters, most spun off of the old wartime morale boosting posters. I think these are my favorite 2 so far.
