From Richard Miniter, PJM: American forces in Iraq now hold some 300 prisoners tied to Iran’s intelligence agencies, Pajamas Media learned from both diplomatic and military sources. This is believed, by both sources, to be a record number of prisoners tied to Iran. Virtually all were captured in the past two months. This week’s seizure of 15 British sailors by Iran in the contested waters of the Shattab al-Arab, the

Just got longer than yours.  Congrats, Iowahawk. On the other hand, I don’t know how I’d feel about having a car that was so much better looking than I. Treacher is drinking his way out of his post-Seipp depression.  Chin up.  If he doesn’t get it together soon, Japanese Penis Mudpack will have been The Daily Gut’s headline feature for the entire weekend.  NTTAWWT.

My big night out this weekend is tonight, so Saturday night I was doing the laundry, etc. and periodically checking in on the thread for ”Nobody Likes A Tease, Nancy.” In the course of the thread, regular PW troll markg8 suggested the Iraq op was not supported by our troops.

More galling are those Republicans too gutless to admit their true position. Well, all right.  But having spent considerable time in D.C., there are some things that I’d

According to a variety of sources (see the nice roundup at Hot Air), the Iranian abduction of 15 British seamen is tied not only to the recent bust that I pointed out in the extended entry, here, but to the prior American capture of a number of Iranian operatives at a site in Irbil that Iran claimed was a consulate (a claim that ought to have been easy for Western

Supreme court ban on liberal party wipes out opposition to Putin “The march’s leaders are being called in by police and intimidated. We are half a step away from a police state,” Denis Bilunov, a member of the march’s organising committee, told the Guardian. “There isn’t much point in talking about democracy in Russia any more.” Today’s protest follows an opposition rally earlier this month in St Petersburg in which

In the late eighties, I was living in Milwaukee when GG Allin came to town.  The notorious punk rocker was famous for his onstage acts of self-inflicted injury, defecation and coprophilia.  I didn’t go to the concert, but I was told that at some point in the performance the crowd began chanting, “Poop on stage!  Poop on stage!” at the laxative and heroin abuser musician.  My friend Bob and I,
