Not given much attention in Bride magazine: A Massachusetts couple has filed a lawsuit claiming their wedding reception in New Hampshire was ruined by drunk guests from another wedding party. Sans and Marcy Milbury of Danvers, Massachusetts, had their reception last fall at the Granite Rose banquet facility in Hampstead. Their lawsuit describes drunk guests from another wedding attacking their attendants and vomiting all over the restrooms the two parties

Study Contradicts Its Subject [Dan Collins]
The deaths of four U.N. military observers during Israeli clashes with Hezbollah in Lebanon two years ago were the result of errors by Israel’s military, a Canadian Forces board of inquiry found Friday. The deaths of the four from Canada, China, Austria and Finland were “tragic and preventable,” the board said.The U.N. observers died when their compound was hit by a 1,100-pound bomb dropped by an Israeli aircraft. The compound

Russians visiting a health resort received a rude shock when a nurse used hydrogen peroxide instead of water to give them enemas.
Oh, Here’s the Outrage [Dan Collins]
Topsecretk9, in Karl’s earlier post about the MoveOn endorsement of Barack Obama, alerts us to Larry Johnson’s consequent meltdown: So much for principle. When the Republican led effort to condemn MoveOn.org for its ad calling General Petraeus on the carpet for being a political hack and betraying the troops, who stood with MoveOn’s right to have a voice? Hillary Clinton. Barack “the Coward†Obama voted PRESENT. Why? He didn’t want
Pardon Me, But Where’s the Outrage? [Dan Collins]
Earlier, I had mentioned an episode in which Bill Clinton, boosting his anti-crime bona fides, had signed off on the execution of a black murderer who had lobotomized himself with a gun, rendering him incapable of understanding his sentence.  Some argued that he deserved death anyway, for what he’d done in cold blood beforehand.  I’m rather a stickler this way, and a death-penalty opponent as well, but I find it reprehensible. So
GOP 2008: The McCain record and the McCain agenda [Karl]
If anyone has lingering doubts that Sen. John McCain’s current success rests more on image than issues, one need look no further than his own campaign and supporters. McCain’s own campaign website, in describing McCain’s “Experience to Lead,” provides a list that focuses on his military service and includes only vague references to his “leadership role in Congress in every major national security issue since the deployment of U.S. Marines to Beirut
MoveOn gets stuck endorsing Obama [Karl]
The main moonbats behind MoveOn changed their rules to favor “None of the above,†but misunderestimated their colony, who came up with a 70% supermajority to endorse Sen. Barack Obama. The “winner” accepted the long-term kiss of death from the “Gen. Petraeus/Betray-Us” crowd to get access to its estimated 1.7 nutballs in the Super-Duper Tuesday states. As noted at The Nation: Organizers said they would “immediately” begin mobilizing on behalf of Obama, leading turnout
Matt Welch, Cap’Ed baffled by the obvious [Karl]
Reason magazine editor Matt Welch (who has Sen. John McCain pegged) thinks there is a “bizzare disconnect” between McCain and his voters, who are angry at Pres. Bush and disapprove of the conflict in Iraq. At Captain’s Quarters, Cap’n Ed seems equally baffled. They should know better. The support for McCain, like this election in general, is not about issues. It’s about personal qualities and changeyness. If smart guys like Welch
What this situation absolutely requires [Karl]
We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering. Following the results of the Florida primary there are those who say it’s over. Over? OVER!? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no! And it ain’t over now… Goldstein is tanned, healing and ready(?).ÂÂ
