MORE TEA PARTY PROTESTS: South Bend, and Laurel, MS. Plus, a big report on the Times Square Tea Party, at The Berman Post. Lots of pictures.

BURIED SECRETS, written in bone.

AFRICA ALONE COULD FEED THE WORLD. But it never will, so long as it’s run by inept kleptocrats.

ATLANTA TEA PARTY BACK ON: “When Atlanta’s major Tea Party scheduled for July 4 at Gwinnett Mall was cancelled by Gwinnett Place Mall of Simon Company, organizers of various freedom groups rallied to sponsor a Tea Party event at the State Capitol in Atlanta. The Atlanta Freedom Rally & Tea Party will be held on Saturday, July 4, from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the Georgia State Capitol at 206 Washington Street SW.”

FROM HERITAGE, some Tea Party talking points.

A TIMES SQUARE TEA PARTY REPORT from reader Lisa Fleischman: “Deroy Murdock speaks – asks ‘Do I look like a racist redneck teabagger to you?’. The crowd yells NO! And Murdock says; ‘We’ll, you don’t look like racist redneck teabaggers to me either.'”

UPDATE: Here’s another picture, sent by cellphone.

JACK LAIL: The Internet Age That Vanished. Yeah, my old columns for Nando.net are long gone.

TIM CAVANAUGH: Deadbeat: Not Just A Circumstance, A State of Mind. “When you take deadbeats and give them a free opportunity to get out of contractual obligations they willingly signed before God and country, a fairly reliable majority of them — and often a fillibuster-proof 60+ percent — end up deadbeating again. . . . So if these borrowers really are honest citizens who just need help getting back on their feet, the percentage of redefaulting loans should be going down, not up. That’s not the case, because they are not honest citizens. They’re deadbeats, and it’s time to stop pretending they can be anything else.”

MORE RECIPEBLOGGING: A reader says that this recipe makes a nice side-dish for the Mahi Mahi recipe I posted yesterday. “Just tried this last night. Big hit. Yummy and refreshing. Easy on the ‘dressing’; I didn’t use it all….maybe even serve it on the side.”

INSTAVISION: I talk with Texas Governor Rick Perry about comparative state economies, the Tea Party movement, Janeane Garafolo, and more. And yes, that’s the Knoxville skyline behind me (Sunsphere on the left) and no, I wasn’t really atop the 11th St. parking garage for this show . . . .

DOG BITES MAN: Obama Will Filter Questions for Virginia Town Hall.

SCRIPTING AND PRESS COVERAGE: Bush’s “town halls” vs. Obama’s town halls. “Both White Houses are entitled to hold such events, which are inherently and sensibly orchestrated to benefit each executive. The press is right to note that fact while reporting them. Odd that the Times chose to do that only for the Bush administration, huh?”

COOL SEARCH ENGINES that are not Google.

BROWN SHOOTS: U.S. Companies Cut Payrolls by 473,000. Plus, U.S. mortgage applications fall to 7-month low. Perhaps the Obama folks overhyped the impact of the stimulus just a bit.
