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

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

Just in time for Petraeus’s testimony, the mini-Tet that failed. A GAMBLE that proved too costly. That’s how analysts in Tehran describe events last month in Basra. Iran’s state-run media have de facto confirmed that this was no spontaneous “uprising.” Rather, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) tried to seize control of Iraq’s second-largest city using local Shiite militias as a Trojan horse. Tehran’s decision to make the gamble was

For the most part, I think he does a good job.  He gives African-Americans a bit of a pass on homophobia for being “more churched” than others, IMO (would that be an excuse for anyone else?). The biggest disappointment is that he doesn’t address the hot-button issue of miscegenation in same-sex couples.

No, not a reference to Hagee-McCain.  A fossil from Lebanon clearly depicts a snake with legs. Apparently, this is a big deal for people who’ve never visited Washington, DC.

The Wall Street Journal reports: After two years of record-low ratings, both CBS News executives and people close to Katie Couric say that the “CBS Evening News” anchor is likely to leave the network well before her contract expires in 2011 — possibly soon after the presidential inauguration early next year. Given that election coverage remains a big deal for network news, it is surprising that she is not leaving

I know that several investigators read this site — or at least, they did at one point. I’m interested in finding out all I can about an old-time Cleveland strong man who passed away in 1998. If you can help me out, please contact me, or drop a note in the comments. Thanks.

I took a “Break Up Quiz” that someone forwarded to me, and when I was done found that Stephen Green had taken it, too. So I messaged him: Dan Collins Today at 12:45pm There weren’t enough passive-aggressive and emotional cruelty options. Made it all seem way too uncomplicated and straightforward. Stephen Green Today at 2:16pm Agreed. I usually found that if you didn’t call for a couple months, she usually

That would be Allahpundit, of course.  Enjoying the sweet, sweet, schadenfreude of the judge dismissing the core claims of fraud and fair dealing related to the supposedly “biased” investigation of Dan Rather’s Bush TxANG documents fiasco. This news warrants more a flashing Drudge siren; it warrants the LGF GIF.

Voices of Iraq quotes a leading figure in the Supreme Iraqi Islamic Council, Jalal el-Din al-Saghier,  as saying that dissolving the Mahdi Army is Moqtada al-Sadr’s responsibility, asserting that top Shiite cleric Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani has nothing to do with this militia as al-Sadr did not consult the SIIC when he established it: “Sayyed Muqtada al-Sadr established this army and it is only him who has to dissolve it,” he explained. “Al-Sistani asked
