Not Shaken, but Stirred…

Just received this message from the Vodkapundit, Stephen Green: HostGo shut down VodkaPundit — without warning, without volunteering information — because their ‘servers’ can’t handle Movable Type. Stacy is working hard as she can to get everything moved over to the new host, but it’s gonna take a couple days. So, spread the word — and feel free to trash talk those bastards at HostGo. Apparently they need to upgrade

Begging the Question, defined.

Just a bit of nitpicking here, but I do wish FOXNews would alert its anchors to the idiocy of repeating the claim (and I’ve heard it, like, 10 times this morning, if not more) that Jesus was born in the Church of his own Nativity.

In other words, it’s all too

MidEast Update

The Washington Post the Pope: ABC News reported this morning that the Pope is calling on Israel to end its terror against the Palestinians, and to end its offensive against the Bethlehem holy sites. Perhaps rather than rounding up armed potential suicide bombers, Israeli soldiers should just…what? fondle them instead? Rumor has it the Pope is more forgiving of such things — or at least, he’s less likely to launch
