August Surprise?

Not on our part—something NRO contributor Barbara Lerner finds unfortunate.  From

“IDF apprehends Hizbullah terrorist involved in July 12 kidnapping”

From the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs (and communicated by an IDF spokesman): Hizbullah terrorist Ali Hassan Saliman, who was apprehended by IDF forces, admitted during questioning that he was involved in the kidnapping of Israeli soldiers Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev, and that he knew the goal was to kidnap Israeli soldiers. Saliman also admitted his involvement in an additional kidnapping attempt at an IDF post near the village

Nedrenalin, Joementum, and the specter of McGovern’s America (UPDATED)

The day of reckoning is here.  From The New York Daily News, “Clueless in Connecticut”: Ned Lamont – who is looking to unseat Joe Lieberman in today’s Connecticut Democratic primary – is fond of saying that if voters elected him, they “wouldn’t be losing a senator” but would be “gaining a Democrat.” Set aside the comical assertion that Lieberman, who votes with his party 90% of the time, isn’t a

BREAKING:  Israel Massing Troops for Ground Push into Lebanon? (UPDATED)

If given the go ahead by the Israeli government today, Israeli troops could begin a push all the way to the Litani River.  This would be a follow up to three days of Israeli commando teams moving north into Lebanon along the coast—and comes amid reports that Israel shot down Hezbollah rockets headed for Tel Aviv.

So I’m walking past the food court at an upscale mall in Cherry Creek this afternoon when I spot a a teenage boy—dark hair, olive skin—wearing Hizbollah colors and chatting up a pair of high school girls.  Which, of course, left me little choice but to tackle him from behind—lowering my shoulder into the small of his skinny manboy back and driving him headlong into the counterfront of the Great

“Hizbullah’s ‘useful idiots’ mum about Reuters Scam”

Allah points me toward this Rick Moran post highlighting how some of the rest of the blogosphere is reacting to the Reuters story.  The post title tells you most of what you need know, but hell—let’s pile on a bit After reviewing a litany of sites and their (predictable) reactions, Rick writes: […] for my lefty friends out there, let me make it absolutely clear that by examining the aftermath

“Hezbollah rockets pound northern Israel”

From CNN: Hezbollah militants Sunday fired more than 180 rockets into northern Israel, killing three civilians in Haifa and 12 Israeli reservists who had just been called up to fight in Lebanon, according to Israeli officials. A missile launcher that fired rockets into Haifa was later destroyed in an Israeli airstrike in the Lebanese town of Qana, the Israel Defense Forces said. The Israeli military also bombed Beirut’s southern suburbs

rainy days and Mondays always get me down

Well, not always.  Like, when it’s hot and the rain cools things off a bit?  That’s kinda cool.  And then there are the three-day holiday weekends that carry over to Monday.  Also cool. But in general, rainy days and Mondays always get me down.  Or at least, occasionally get me down.  Not always.  Because of the ketamine and the toaster pastries. I’m sorry, what was I saying? **** update:  Oh,

Anybody know a milliner?

Or maybe a Navajo Indian?  Because I desperately need a Billy Jack hat.  Not for me, though. For a friend.
