Zodiac Killer found?

Could beoptical communications. The FBI is investigating. DNA test results could be back “any day now.” (h/t Dan Collins)

FYI

I’m a Zogby skeptic, but for what it’s worth, have at it. Or, as Billy Hoyle might say, “THE MUSTARD IS OFF THE HOTDOG!”

a passing thought

— To someone like self-styled “feminist” Amanda Marcotte, John Edwards, being on the right side of the political divide, can’t be wrong. His intentions are admirable, his heart in the right place (though his penis, not so much at times). Sarah Palin, conversely, being on the wrong side, can’t be right. Her deeds are meaningless. She is not of the elect. Amanda, it turns out, is a Calvinist. (for Aldo)

“The man with the stitched up finger” (or, “a modern day Sisyphus”): a protein wisdom sudden fiction

for Sartre Once upon a time, a man with a stitched up finger decided he’d had enough of his finger being all stitchy, and that it was time to get the stitches removed. Unfortunately, the man was also hungry. So instead of driving to the urgent care facility to have the stitches removed, the man made himself a turkey and avocado wrap with provolone and wasabi mustard, then took himself

The framing of the shrew

Allah and Charles at LGF have already debunked the early-out-of-the-gate attempts to cast VP candidate Sarah Palin as a “creationist” and an “enemy of science”* — Al Gore and his band of hokem-peddling Greenbots being the current champions of forcing junk-science into public school curricula — so the left liberal establishment and the mainstream press have now moved on to Palin’s alleged “ethics violations,” known by the shorthand, “Trooper Gate”

Palin pick already yielding rhetorical dividends?

See, this is why journos in the bag for Obama should await the royal talking points before opening their dullard yaps. CNN’s John Roberts: Palin Too Young and Inexperienced: During the 9 a.m. EDT hour of “CNN Newsroom,” “American Morning” co-anchor John Roberts gave an analysis of Governor Sarah Palin during discussion of Senator John McCain’s vice presidential choice. Roberts focused on Palin’s lack of experience, saying that a prerequisite

Former teen idol Leif Garrett comments on Oprah Winfrey’s tireless support for Barack Obama

Garrett: “This might have nothing to do with the question, I admit, but — from my perspective — I’d explain it this way: if a building were on fire, and it came down to my having to save either, say, Kirk Cameron, or Spider Pedro, the guy who scores me my rock, Cameron would be a Left Behind potato crisp. “Harsh, I know. But deep down, a person has to

The GOP’s identity politicking to the Dem’s identity politicking:

“Oh, it is so on…!” **** h/t Darleen

protein wisdom delivers his review of Barack Obama’s coliseum speech

All’s I can tell you is, I doubt it was as entertaining as the re-runs of “Monk” I watched instead. — Though I grant, it was probably a bit more street, as the kids say.* **** update: Inexplicably, these folks all bothered to turn on and tune in. Reached for comment, the ghost of Timothy Leary papered his uppers with happyface tabs, then tried, with mixed success, to reach the

Brave New Wor(l)ds

— A Utopia, of sorts, where “unity” prevails — even if in order to do so free speech is (like some bad Disney project) “re-imagined” as a right that is heavily policed by the state, with the upshot being that only the speech that doesn’t hurt or offend or cause a rift in the progressive unity continuum is protected, with the rest relegated to a growing repository for what is
