as much as I hate Bush! h/t Reynolds Sad news, guys. If you’re not Sparta the solution, you’re . . . Who was behind the Edwards blogresses hires?

The Victory Caucus logo resembles that of V for Vendetta! This is typical Greenwaldian tendentiousness.  All of us think in terms of analogies.  It is one of the fundamental ways in which the human mind operates, and if tempered by something more stringent, such as logic and an investigation of facts and premises, it can be very valuable.  Even if it is used heuristically, it may be valuable provided the

Guardian US correspondent decries blog speculation on motives of SLC mall murderer. Occam’s razor is not a thin-profile cell phone. From David Thompson, another excellent piece that chronicles the paper’s cozy relations with Islamofascists: al-Guardian & the Brotherhood (Janis Joplin’s still dead) A taste, regarding comments editor Seumas Milne (a Scott Burgess favorite): It isn’t clear why Milne continues to give a platform to the Brotherhood and its affiliates.

Apple Inc. CEO Steve Jobs lambasted teacher unions today, claiming no amount of technology in the classroom would improve public schools until principals could fire bad teachers. Jobs compared schools to businesses with principals serving as CEOs. “What kind of person could you get to run a small business if you told them that when they came in they couldn’t get rid of people that they thought weren’t any good?”

Asteroid threat demands response, experts warn Kamchatkans and Venezuelans beware. A 20-million-tonne asteroid could be heading your way. Californians have even more reason to worry – the asteroid is more likely to hit the Pacific Ocean, triggering a tsunami that could devastate the west coast of North America. These are among the scenarios projected for asteroid Apophis, which researchers now say has a 1 in 45,000 chance of hitting Earth

Not that I’d ever presume to speak for the dead—who have an ontological authenticity all their own—but were it me, I’d give some serious thought to grabbing a fistful of dollar bills and haunting some high class strip club.  Either that, or an all-you-can-eat buffet.  But then, I’m really kinda shallow that way.

As some of you may be aware, we (and I use that in the “we are pregnant” sense) have been caring for a neighbor’s animals while she’s been away.  We had the cats and the dog over at our place, but they seemed not to be able to get used to the removal, and there were goats to take care of over there, so we decamped to our friend’s place

In the wake of the House passing a non-binding resolution that takes us one step further toward officially sanctioning a name change for Iraq (many Democratic lawmakers and a handful of Republicans prefer to call it “Vietnam”), Bushco stooge Bill Ardolino propagandizes for the American Imperialist War Machine in what I can only assume is a last ditch effort to save a failed campaign that has (once we get done

Why do I fail to see the humor?  Maybe I need a break from blogging. Patterico‘s got Ilyka Damen saying it’s no big deal, and Liberal Avenger asking how that Iraq war is going.  I can’t see how I could possibly get drunk enough to be so stupid.  I don’t think I can.  I think I’d pass out long before that happened, or at least lose the ability to type.

My heart bleeds.  Really. Silly me.  I spilled some beer. Shit.  I’m busted. Gee, Beav.  I think I hear my mom calling. See ya, Whitey. Dan Collins is on temporary hiatus while he deals with his fuckhead problem.
