Some Links: Conspiratorial Wackos, White House Paranoia, CNN Grades Obama, Canada Bored Stiff

The NRO's take on how the right and left have been invaded by extremists. The "Birthers" on the right and Truthers on the left. From The Corner segment.

My friend sent me this straight from the White House blog:

There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov.

Wow. Para-NOID! So. Let's see. Hm. Debate is to be discouraged? Citizens should snitch on one another?

Wow.

For those interested on such things. CNN is conducting a report card on Obama's Second 100 Days. Personally, while I get you can judge early on a path a leader may take, I still prefer to wait it out and see how it plays out.

Sure, I don't think his bail out plan is all that smart - yeah, right. The economy is recovering and it's because of the stimulus package. Sure - but let the guy settle in a little.

I hear this in sports all the time. A new coach is barely a few games in and the media asks fans about the performance. Doesn't he deserve the full season?

Man, with Parliament not in session, there's not a whole lot of shaking goin' on here in Canada.
