Forty-sixth in a series of real-time empirical observations
In the time it takes you to read this post, a clearly irritated Arianna Huffington will send back her rack of lamb with Eggplant Charlotte and demand that Le’Cirque’s Sirio Maccioni bring her a plate of Armanac-seared foie gras roasted with whole figs, instead—convinced as she is that CINDY! would expect her to fight for what she believes in!—and that having to endure “dry and gamey” lamb, though not quite

Mr. Robertson’s Neighborhood
Many in the media will leap to condemn Pat Robertson’s remarkably obtuse public statement calling for the assassination of Hugo Chavez, and in the process of doing so will almost certainly attempt to paint the “religious right” en masse as a group of bloodthirsty whackos in the mold of Robertson.

From “In John Roberts’s America…The civil rights laws mean what they say”: […] when the Bush administration released reams of papers from Roberts’s 1981-82 tenure as a special assistant to Attorney General William French Smith and his 1982-86 stint in the White House counsel’s office, [Liberals] found a new angle: civil

Overheard inside a Najaf bunker, Tuesday, August 23
First militant: “May I speak frankly with you, Jibril?” Second militant: “Of course you may, brother.” First militant: “It concerns the infidels. Certainly we are the stronger warriors—menacing, steel-fanged lions to their paper tigers (Allah be merciful)—but that aside, they are killing us in far greater numbers. Yet their countrymen feel that they are losing the war and must retreat. Is this some devious subterfuge, friend?” Second militant: “Ah, but

red pills found behind the sofa cushions, analepsis 10
Sure, the CIA has encouraged the mullahs to believe otherwise; but I have it on peacoat-clad authority that Iran is really not particularly close to acquiring nuclear weapons—though they are quite close to acquiring a series of heavy cylindrical encasements, each one forged from titanium and lead, and each one containing a large, meticulously-trained sugar beet that, in addition to being able to perfectly mimic the sound of a Geiger
