Good morning.
The South Florida blogosphere was buzzing with activity last night. That, of course, means more for you to read in your morning Sift. Enjoy.
A- The Burger Beast has a little more info on the highly anticipated Frita Shop.
Frita Shop made its “unofficial” debut at the South Beach Wine & Food Festival’s Grand Tasting Village event on Saturday afternoon. Their Kimchee Frita (Kimchee, Sriracha Ketchup, Cilantro, Onion on Potato Bun) was handed out to the masses, more than half of which probably have no clue what a Frita is.B- Searching for Signs believes the problem with Rick Santorum is that he's just too honest and lacks tact when he's hating on JFK and claiming that colleges provide a liberal indoctrination.
Santorum is an honest, straight-up man who speaks his convictions and answers the hard questions thrown at him. Those are admirable traits, when applied correctly. The problem with Santorum is that in his honesty, he sometimes goes overboard and lacks tact. He believes in all the right things, but he has trouble channeling his righteous indignation in a way that isn’t condescending or overblown.C- Man or Maniac? disassembles the latest from those on the Right who still believe that Obama was not born in the United States.
D- Miami Condo Investments shows us what $300K can get you on Brickell these days...and it doesn't include much closet space.
Our listing is for a 1 bedroom/1.5 bath bi-level loft with 993 square feet of interior and a 76 square foot balcony off the living room. The asking price is $297,888, or $300 per square foot, making it the lowest price per square foot unit currently available for sale on the MLS or through the developer. The decorator-ready unit comes with stainless steel appliances, a stackable washer/dryer and one assigned parking space. The east-facing loft has a view of Biscayne Bay and the Brickell skyline from the 30th floor.E- Obalesque has his own opinion of Rick Santorum, as you might imagine.
That heads all over the nation didn’t explode after Santorum’s remark reveals just how crazed and extreme this ‘Pub dog race has become. The firewall between church and state in this country not only protects the citizens from religious oppression, it makes the practice of religion possible.F- The Miami Bike Scene links to some Critical Mass photos around the blogosphere and posts a video.
Doesn’t everybody with a high school education understand this?
G- A relatively reasonable conservative is just now getting worried that the Republican Party has morphed into some kind of clown car and Bark Bark Woof Woof unloads on him.
He's worried about honor in a party that re-elected a felon in 1972, sold weapons to a sworn enemy and used the proceeds to back Central American terrorists, impeached a Democratic president for getting an adulterous blowjob while at the same time the chief accuser was getting his own horn honked by a woman not yet his wife, elected a president by constitutional legerdemain that doesn't pass the laugh test, outed a CIA operative for political revenge, and cheered on a racially-tinged rabble of white patriarchal know-nothing moochers whose mantra of ignorance became a frothy mix of blind hatred and xenophobia against a centrist Democratic president who happened to be black.

B: What's mind blowing about this -not that Searching for Signs has any clue- is that JFK gave that speech partly in response to conservatives who attacked him at the time saying that, as a Catholic, he was bound to the Pope and not to the U.S. Constitution. And now we have Santorum, a Catholic, defending the opposite view.
Conservatives are taling anti-intellectualism and revisionist history to new heights.
Just read Obalesque's post, which makes the same point. Thankfully there's people around that know the history.
Hi Alex:
I was thinking you should have left this comment over on my blog, but since Santorum has never stated that he is bound to the Pope over the U.S. Constitution, I can certainly understand why you would want to avoid posting this on a site where you're assertion would be contested.
Yes, Robert, Alex is avoiding a debate. It might be the first time ever but if it makes you feel more smug then by all means, go with that thought.
BTW, are you contesting his assertion and thereby proving yourself wrong?
Alex, he's all yours. It's like taking candy from baby.

B-15!
Sorry Robert, I was too busy yesterday to waste time arguing over a dumb pandering line that even Santorum wishes to take back. You either get it or you don't get it and your response here shows that you still don't have a clue.
And try not to take it personally, but in matters of religion you are an absolutist. There's no point in debating with an absolutist other than personal enjoyment. I would note as well that it's rich for a Blahblahlu contributor to complain about uncontested forums.
