Latte Links (12/9)

Some miscellaneous links after surviving shoveling the remnants of the “Iowa Death Storm of 2009.”  I heard the name from Grant Young and thought it sounded good.  I had a good 14 inches at my house.

• Des Moines Register: Coverage of the “epic” storm & reader submitted pictures of snowdrifts.
• Rasmussen Reports: Tea Party Tops GOP on Three-Way Generic Ballot
• Beanwalker.com: Meet Your New Bean Walker (this is like Iowa’s Drudge Report) and he links occasionally to here and some of my From The Right posts at the Des Moines Register.
• DM Register – From The Right: Where Does Branstad Stand on Revenue Enhancement? (shameless self promotion)
• ScrippsNews: Sarah Palin: Charm and staying power by Dan Thomsson (Greta Van Susteren has the transcript of her speech at Gridiron Club, pretty funny)
• Christianity Today: Official Chinese Newspaper Publishes Call to Change Religion Policy
• HotAir: Reason TV on why Canadians come to US for surgery by Ed Morrissey
• The Iowa Republican: Confrontational Conservatism Is Not Confusing by Bob Vander Plaats
• Kingdom Living: Attractional or Distractional Part I and Part II by Matt Dabbs
• UK Guardian: Nobel peace prize: Norwegians incensed over Barack Obama’s snubs
• Reuters: Democrats reach deal on health bill (government option dumped)
• The Washington Post: Senate rejects Nelson amendment on abortion
• BGEA: Sarah Palin Draws Strength From Scripture
• NY Times Opinionator: Sarah Palin Is Coming to Town by Stanley Fish (I about fell out of my chair, a positive review of Going Rogue at the NY Times, HT: Michelle Malkin)
• WSJ: Kentucky Votes No: a special-election warning on health care

Sorry this was a little longer than normal, but I had a good number of "starred” items in my Google Reader building up and I meant to share.  Also consider this an open thread post, and always feel free to follow me on Twitter and/or friend me on Facebook.  Still doing some Christmas shopping?  Don’t forget to check out our bookstore.

Update: Bonus – Weird Light over Norway
