Morning Briefing

For May 28, 2014

Good morning,

Well, the Morning Briefing certainly looks different this morning.  My computer had some “issues” and would not give me the template I always work from.  So you’ll have to forgive me shaking things up a bit this morning. 

You’re going to need to click either the linked text or the word “link” to get through to the story.  But you guys know that anyway.  Here now are those things I think you’ll want to pay attention to:

1.  The online world often gets whipped up into a frenzy that never translates offline.  But if all you do is follow twitter, you probably thing some small matter is a #REALLYBIGDEAL.  It’s not. (Link)

2.  Why hasn’t our managing editor, Aaron Gardner, committed mass murder.  If you believe the internet, he fits the pattern.  Except for that one thing. (Link)

3.  Believe it or not, John McCain has a good proposal to reform the Department of Veterans Affairs.  I bet Meghan McCain had nothing to do with it.  (Link)

4.  The President of Planned Parenthood thinks you should say “yes” to life, but only if you make it out of the womb alive and, probably, safely home from the hospital.  (Link)

5.  So . . . Detriot.  It’s kind of like our own little third world country that we can tour without vaccinations and passports.  (Link)

6.  The Establishment’s campaign strategy is pretty simple: sound like a tea party activist.  Lie through your teeth if you have to.  Just stop the tea party. (Link)

7.  The Christian lady sentenced to death in Sudan has given birth in prison.  Praise God. (Link)

8.  Breeanne Howe has another edition of the Vine out. The Vine is a great way to stay up to date on pro-life news. (Link)

Before I get out of here, congrats to John Ratcliffe, who RedState backed in Texas's 4th Congressional District.  Last night in Texas, Ratcliffe beat Congressman Ralph Hall in their runoff. It is truly the passing of an era. With Congressman Hall's departure there will be no more veterans of World War II in Congress. It's also worth noting that every candidate Sen. Ted Cruz supported in Texas won.

Okay my people.  I’m going back to bed now.  I have the shamans and the seance going on in the home office and hope to retrieve my Morning Briefing template at some point today. With my luck, that means you guys will decide you prefer this format instead.
