A hacker I know was prowling around the DNC servers, and he leaked a few to me. The final ad campaign they’re preparing is just devastating. Here’s just one example.

Interesting [ahem]
On a slightly offbeat track, this latest report from MEMRI on the ongoing attempt by Islamists to drag Turkey, a secular Muslim nation with a democratic tradition, back into those halcyon days of the 7th century. It suffers from being a translation but, if you just stick with it, it gets really fascinating at the end. Apparently, the Turkish military is the major obstacle standing between the democratic Turkey envisioned
Once Upon a Time . . . [Dan Collins]
there was a very poor country ruled by a strange and evil emperor, named Kim. Kim didn’t like it that other countries didn’t take his seriously, so he threw lots of tantrums to get attention, and spent his money on pornography as his people starved.
Another moment of unabashed pragmatism
So the dog vomited on the $700 wool rug you were hoping to return, so what? It’s not like you can’t unfurl it in the great room and hide that horrific brick-colored blot with a coffee table or a lamp or some such. Right?
FoleyGate Fallout Continues [Karl]
David Hasselhoff has outed KITT, the talking car that constantly upstaged him on Knight Rider. The car plans to appear on a very special episode of Dateline NBC to tell all it knows about former Rep. Mark Foley to that hunky Stone Phillips.
Conglaturations! [Dan Collins]
Evlybody prease conglaturate Nolth Kolea on successfur exprosion of nucreal device! UNITED NATIONS – The U.N. Security Council should congratulate North Korea for its nuclear test instead of passing “useless” resolutions or statements, North Korea’s U.N. ambassador said Monday.

Con Corea del Norte [Bravo Romeo Delta]
I leave the US for one freakin´week, and this is what the rest of the world gets up to? Madness, I tell you!! Madness!! Ok, here´s the quick and dirty for the North Korean nuke test. It is unlikely that they are testing devices intended for a small yield at this point, and are probably working on basic design validation. Given the speculation (and likelyhood) that this was a fizzle

Illegal migrants from Mexico frequently swim or ride inner tubes across the Rio Grande to reach the United States. Crocodiles do not normally inhabit the river, and authorities suspect
Another Fine Mess [ahem] Updated
GWB: Now, stop that, Kim. Behave yourself. Don’t make me come in there. You’re not gonna like it if I have to come in there. Crash! GWB: Now, you’re really in trouble…. Update: Of course, if this commenter at The Corner is correct–and I suspect he is–we’re not going to like it much, either. Especially if the Democrats are in the driver’s seat. Their approach to solving world problems, characterized
Dark Lord Beckons [Dan Collins]
At the usual drop spot, encoded message announcing that special ops explosion of small underground nuke in North Korean territory was successful. Timing questioner moles prepped to suggest that it was arranged to divert attention from Foley matter, work conspiracy-mongers into self-discrediting lather. Please aid in any way possible. Status: chalice and compass. That is all. UPDATE: Dark Lord bade me do this “for kicks.”
