An actual race-baiting Jeff Danziger cartoon *not really. (h/t Malkin.  More here, here, and here)

Knock knock “Whoever is making that noise, Conchita, I want you to have him removed from the grounds at once.  Then bring me the gin and my vibrating massage rod.  And some ice cubes.  And the lotion.  Vaya.  Prisa!”*

From Steyn online: Today, for the first time in all my years with the Telegraph Group, I had a column pulled. The editor expressed concerns about certain passages and we were unable to reach agreement, so on this Tuesday something else will be in my space. I’d written about Kenneth Bigley, seized with two American colleagues but unlike them not beheaded immediately. Instead, sensing that they could exploit potential differences

Martha Stewart:  “…actually, Vanessa, it’s quite possible to make a comfortable quilt out of nothing but hand-rumpled Baby Ruth wrappers and moistened sod.  That being said, if you dare look me in the eye again, I have associates on the outside who will track down the people you care about and gut them each with a fish knife, then use their still-quivering filets to make Sole Meuniére for a weekend

…to all the guest bloggers who in my absence filled this site with such…relevance.  Seldom has protein wisdom been so timely and topical, and for that I thank each and every one of you.  Of course, now that I’m back, we can put at end to all that “substance” nonsense, which frankly strikes me as being very time consuming.  Instead, it’s time to get back to what my readers so

When in doubt, always smell the milk first.
