Or maybe he just doesn’t like some snooty fop telling him which wine goes with which foods. Whatever it was, the one thing we can safely rule out is unprovoked terrorism and allegiance to an ideology that is both totalitarian and colonial.  Because, well, that’s just a myth.

At 3:05 PM EST.  Today’s guests include Jim Pinkerton, Jim Geraghty, and Mary Katherine Ham.  Or as I like to call them, Pinky and the Brain—and that one saucy conservative chick from Townhall who Allahpundit likes to think about to keep himself from despairing too much over Israel’s imminent demise. Though, alas, the Ham thing always brings him back somehow.  Poor, tortured soul. Listen in at Rightalk.  Call in number

So, is it safe to retrieve the porn and the seventy cans of Sour Cream and Onion Pringles from my Panic Room yet, do you think?  Or do I go conservative and wait for sundown. I know what Sartre would have done.  But then, he didn’t have himself a nicely appointed Panic Room with High Def TV and a mini-fridge stocked with Amstel Lights, either.  So I’m not sure I

Via Tom Pechinski by way of Tim Blair, news that Hezbollah has struck! That’s right!  The fiery missiles of God’s Warriors shall pierce the iron hulls of the West’s dwindling resolve! FEAR US, INFIDELS!  FOR THE REACH OF ALLAH KNOWS NO BOUNDS!  Of course, his Photoshopping skills could use a bit of work—as could his ability to hide his source material—but, well, that’s just nitpicking, isn’t it?  And besides, HE

The Washington Post characterized President Bush’s words for the press pool as “impassioned,” causing Townhall’s Mary Katherine Ham (guest host of Vent yesterday and today) to quip, “What, not cuckoo or angered-by-his-utter-defeat-and-imminent-demise?” You can watch the video of Bush’s remarks here. As you’ll see, Bush remains (as is his signature stance) determined and resolute, but for some of the GWOT’s most stalwart early supporters, steady conviction is no longer enough. 

From Reuters: Iran handed over on Tuesday its response to a nuclear package aimed at allaying Western fears that Tehran seeks to build atomic bombs, Iran’s state-run Arabic-language Al-Alam television reported. It said Ali Larijani, Iran’s chief nuclear negotiator, had handed the response to envoys representing the six nations in Tehran at the Supreme National Security Council, which handles the nuclear file.

…Had Juan Cole been hired, the already palsied level of intellectual rigor in the Yale History Department would have only gotten worse. So the way I see it, the glass is still half full, baby!  GO BULLDOGS!

Steele’s run for U.S. Senate.  From the Washington Times: Also scheduled to participate in the event are Cathy Hughes, founder and chairman of Radio One, a black-run broadcasting company specializing in urban markets, and hip-hop pioneer DJ Kid Capri.

From the AP: Cool your home, warm the planet. When more than two dozen countries undertook in 1989 to fix the ozone hole over Antarctica, they began replacing chloroflourocarbons in refrigerators, air conditioners and hair spray. But they had little idea that using other gases that contain chlorine or fluorine instead also would contribute greatly to global warming. CFCs destroy ozone, the atmospheric layer that helps protect against the sun’s

Peligro Bastardo emails:  “It’s Ba-a-a-a-a-ack… The Return of the Son of the ROVEIAN INDICTMENT!” From Truthout: An indictment first reported by Truthout said to be connected to Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald’s Plame investigation remains sealed, and Fitzgerald continues to work on the leak case. Translation:  This just in—Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead. The indictment, 06 cr 128, was returned by the grand jury hearing evidence in the CIA leak
