Iran's Oliver Stone [Dan Collins]

Iranian Filmmaker Nader Talebzadeh Denies the Holocaust and States: Al-Qaeda and the Mossad Carried out 9/11 Together h/t Roger Simon, whom, by the way, I own as a Facebook pet, in case you’d like to buy him

Samsphere Colorado [Dan Collins; UPDATED by Protein Wisdom the Primordial]

Next weekend.  If anyone’s going who can video Jeff, that’d be great. UPDATE: The buzz, it is overwhelming! Question: anybody here from Cleveland, or have access to university libraries and can get copies of some material from the Plain Dealer and Ohio Magazine? If so, please let me know.

The Man's Inhumanity to Man, Man [Dan Collins]

Male judges who deny men access to their kids, male professors who bypass men for tenure, and certain male presidents who sexually harass women all help fuel anti-male bias.

Of course Keith Olbermann would smear war heroes [Karl]

JD Johannes highlights that David Bellavia — who was awarded the Silver Star and has been nominated for the Medal of Honor for his actions in the Battle of Fallujah in 2004 — has been smeared as a racist by MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann.  Bellavia had the temerity to remark that Vietnam POW John McCain might be a more worthy role model than professional golfer Tiger Woods, asking, “When have we ever taken a hero on

I've Grown Accustomed to Her Farce [Dan Collins]

I’ve grown accustomed to her farce She’s posting when the day begins I’ve grown accustomed to the crap she tosses on my lap Her :-), her :-(, her ups, her downs Are second nature to me now Like breathing out and breathing in I was serenely on the topic And content, before we met Surely I could always be that way again, and yet I’ve grown accustomed to her txt Accustomed to

Waiter! There's Ricin in My Rice [Dan Collins]

The thwarting of an alarming terror plot was cleared for publication on Thursday, almost three weeks after a joint Shin Bet and police operation led to the arrest of two Palestinian employees of the ‘Grill Express’ restaurant in Ramat Gan. The men, Eihab Abu Rial and Anas Salum, both 21-year-old residents of the West Bank city of Nablus, had planned to lace dishes served at the establishment with a powerful

GOP 2008: The McCain disorganization? [Karl]

As someone who has stressed the under-covered role of organization in most campaign coverage, I recommend the latest from Jason Zengerle at TNR, tracing the fall and rise of John McCain’s campaign through the lens of organization and the infighting of his closest advisers, primarily John Weaver and Rick Davis. The quick overview is that Weaver brought Davis into McCain’s 2000 campaign to run the campaign’s administration, while Weaver handled strategy — but

More of the Wright stuff [Karl]

Just to keep up to date, the noxious Rev. Jeremiah Wright will speak at the Detroit branch of the NAACP 53rd Annual Fight for Freedom Fund dinner.  I would have jumped on this one yesterday, but given that NAACP chair Julian Bond has compared the GOP to the Taliban, given an award to someone who called Condoleeza Rice a murderer, and engaged in bizarre conspiracy theories about Hurricane Katrina, it is far

Why Beautiful Women [Dan Collins; UPDATED x3]

would marry JD or Enoch or . . . well, any of us: Women seeking a lifelong mate might do well to choose the guy a notch below them in the looks category. New research reveals couples in which the wife is better looking than her husband are more positive and supportive than other match-ups. The reason, researchers suspect, is that men place great value on beauty, whereas women are

For Thor [Dan Collins]

I respect Gateway Pundit a lot, but I think that there’s too little context here, and that it rehearses things that we already know, though in some cases the quotations from Dreams from My Father in text and/or audio are instructive.  That is to say, some of this is liable to be meant more as confessional than as assertive; or at least I’d hope that that was the case, since
