Preaching to the Choir [Dan Collins]

Guantanamo Detainees Lose Appeal Shorter Collins: Bwahahahahaha!

“‘Tell the American people we need the U.S. Army here‘“

Ever Chimpy McSurgeDivider’s obedient mouthpiece, Bill Ardolino of INDC Journal posts a so-called “interview” with the Iraqi Army “soldiers” he “worked with” in Fallujah.  And—surprise, surprise!—these “soldiers” (Ardolino calls them “Jundi,” the pretentious twit) claim to desire a continued US Army presence in Iraq in order to help stabilize the security situation. …Uh huh.  Like we didn’t see that bit of CIA manipulation coming, you scaly-flanked war salmon.  Sorry, pal.

the “an unauthorized addendum to ‘50 Ways to Leave Your Lover‘“ post

51.  Leave her a nice note explaining how you don’t think the relationship is going where you’d hoped it would, and that—rather than artificially extending a moribund romance—it is perhaps best to end things now, while you and she can still part as friends.  Ken.

There used to be a post here, 2

Remember?  Right freakin’ here! Seriously.  Sometimes I think I’m losing my mind—and then I remember to pop a Klonopin, and all is just groovy with the world again.  It’s one of the benefits of living in a civilized society.  And not in, say, some Arkansas trailer park.

Hard-to-Counter Assertion in Religious Debate [Dan Collins]

One virtually unanswerable way to respond to others’ foul pronouncements with respect to your faith is to run them over with your cab, for nothing represents the goodness of God so well as a 4-barrel 455 V-8 careening toward a fare.  It may not win you style points, but it is very effective, and if you are a member of a minority, it’s very unlikely that it will be regarded

The New Flap: Mudflap [Dan Collins]

Look.  I think big women can be sexy.  I know it’s Arizona, and the standards are high, and personally, I wouldn’t mind if some of them paid more attention to their . . . . huh?  Oh, sorry. Nevermind. It’s still going to be legal in Arizona for trucks to have splash guards with racist terms and silhouettes of naked women. The state House on Thursday rejected a Democratic amendment

Go, You Fighting Sandcrabs! (CraigC)

A comment in the un-pc sports team names thread got me to thinking about wacky college sports mascots and nicknames.  Here in Kahleefohneeya, we’ve cornered the market on them, and for some reason, they all seem to be in the the UC system.  You’ve gotcher UC-Santa Barbara Gauchos, yer UC-Santa Cruz Banana Slugs, and the UC-Irvine Anteaters.

Sen. Levin’s Latest Trial Balloon [Karl]

Now that Rep. Jack Murtha’s slow bleed scheme to defund our troops in Iraq has been exposed for the cynical ploy that it is, Sen. Carl Levin—who had a Murtha-esque critique of troop readiness this past week—seems to have abruptly dropped the idea. Sen. Levin’s latest trial balloon is amending the AUMF to exclude combat missions. No, really. So I’m wondering… under that scenario, what would be the new name

Statement from the American Union of Concerned Snake Oil Salespersons [Dan Collins]

Dear Sirs, It has come to our attention that in the comments to a post dated 2-19-07 on the web log Protein Wisdom, the poster and proprietor of the web log saw fit to compare a ponderous and pointless writer by the name of Glenn Greenwald at the web site Salon with snake oil salespersons.  I take issue with the implied characterization.  The benefits of snake oil, properly derived and
