Here are a few shiny objects that caught my eye this weekend:

Gateway Pundit: Thanks Barack… Dollar Sees Worst Drop In Value in 25 Years

Shots on the House: Steele is Becoming an Embarrassment. ME: I agree, but want to give him more time. Especially since the RNC outraised the DNC last quarter.

Twitter blogging from Girl on the Right — What the news networks could learn from Twitter. More from Ft. Hard Knox —
Twitterphobic to Twitter Addict. That latter post describes me pretty well. I hated the idea of Twitter before I tried it. . .

Pink Elephant Pun congratulates Sarah Palin on rejecting the stimulus money. I’m with her — the money is temporary but the attached strings are lasting.

My pal Fausta covers remarks by Sen. Gregg: “This country will go bankrupt.” The warning is especially significant, since Obama wanted Gregg for Commerce Sec’y.

Ennuipundit continues to hammer Sen. Dodd’s corruption here, here, and here.

Dodgeblogium gives us a glimpse of our future — UK monitoring social media. It seems like we’re always about a decade behind Europe in eroding civil liberties. Remember, good nannies watch their children closely. So do good Nanny States.

And lastly, Jared Wilson asks the age-old question: Footnotes or Endnotes? I go with endnotes, because they don’t interrupt the flow of my reading. Footnotes are the anti-Zen.
