***Now About Buck Owens***
Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, whose new book has been attacked as slanted against Israel, received two standing ovations as he answered critics during a much-anticipated talk at a historically Jewish college.
The former president and Nobel Peace Prize winner acknowledged to an audience at Brandeis University on Tuesday that “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid” has “caused great concern in the Jewish community,” but noted that it has nonetheless prompted discussion.
. . . .
Carter’s book has been criticized by some Jewish leaders as riddled with inaccuracies and distortions. Some have complained that it appears to equate South Africa’s former apartheid system of racial segregation with Israeli treatment of the Palestinians.
Does slander and historical inaccuracy prompt discussion? I guess so.
Also, I like Malkin a lot, but I wish she weren’t such a potty-mouth:
Last month, President Bush signed off on a few dog-and-pony illegal immigrant employment raids. Wh**p-de-d**.
I’m not sure that I have words to express what I think about this Gallic twat:
Segolene Royal, the Socialist candidate for president of France, has annoyed the Canadian government by supporting independence for Quebec.
Gee, ya think? I think France ought to give the Alsace-Lorraine to the Germans. Something weird about a socialist named Royal.
Hot for your dental hygeinist? Like the view when she leans over the reclining chair? Want to reciprocate the drilling and filling? Take a cold shower, Sparky, if you live in Washington state, says Eugene Volokh. How’s your mental hygiene?
Speaking of which, some House Republicans are finally putting pressure on Justice to polygraph the Sandman to try to determine the extent of his document thievery. I question the timing.
Meanwhile, China is interfering with women’s right to choose.
Oh, and Ahmadinejad says that we’re all going to die. Soon.

How could they leave off Time’s Man of the Year? Bitches.
Geez. Charles Johnson looks a lot like Marty Peretz. Another fauxteau scandal?
Jarvis:
Of course, we feel bad for the 289 people who lost their jobs at Time Inc. yesterday, but the place was  and always has been  incredibly inefficient.
I’m trying. Just not feeling it. How about you?
Tailrank: No Memory Aide for Libby? No Aid for Aide is more like it.
Beirut is beginning to look like France. Note the 3-stage Musselmissiles around the image of the mosque.
All of the this is who they are, this is what they do (TIWTATIWTD) regarding the Libby testimony is revealed by Maguire.
My feeling is that this policing the MSM stuff isn’t working out. They’ve probably figured out that they’re not going to be held to much account, even if they’re caught spooge-handed, and it’s probably made them even bolder about expressing their bias.
Hey, I missed this. timmyb responds to a comment I made at Bustard Blog:
Dan Collins knows the mind and plans of the recently deceased dictator?!? I find that far more interesting than the stuff you post on PW, Dan.
Truly criminal of you to have this power and not share it with the world (maybe instead of killing some hapless flunkies in our opening strike, we could have used your powers to kill Saddam early. After all, once he’s dead Iraq will be at peace….oops).
I can’t get over how much I like the omniscience of this phrase: “His plan was deliberate brinksmanship. He would “comply” until we had to recall our troops, and then he’d boot the inspectors out again…”
Were you at the meetings, Dan? How the f*ck do you this?

Nah, you’re right. He figured that we’d invade his country and hang him. But he was so tired of the No-Fly Zones that it was just suicide by cop.
I once had dental hygeinist fanatasies, but it involved not only brushing breasts but also gum pain and restraint in a chair.
I later learned I suffered from heterogingivadolorophilia. Huh. Who knew?
BRING IT ON, BABY!
I’ve never heard of most of the web celebs.
Anyone else think there’s something wrong with this?
Kos – pushed Neddy through a primary, only to be slaughtered in the general election.
Drudge – took a US president down about 5259 pegs, and while simultaneously doing the mainstream media’s job for them.
Hmmm…
Sure, but what has Drudge done for them lately?
Other than swamping the Senate’s web server, that is…
Oh, and Ahmadinejad says that we’re all going to die. Soon.
This, while we wring our hands worrying that 24 might make people suspicious of Muslims.
Why worry about facts, when we can worry about fiction?
Hmmm.
1. Who the fuck is “1. Jessica Lee Rose”?
I have absolutely no idea who this person is.
2. Forbes evidently totally fucked up the picture they associated with Charles Johnson of LittleGreenFootballs.com.
It’s pretty damn hilarious.
Where is my post? Is it on it’s way to Alpha Centurion?
Jeff, I (maybe “we”) have a problem here. Everytime I post I get a “No deal” site. Sometimes (actually most times) it gets through anyway, but it really grieves me when the “No Deal” page is right.
“‘Sup, man?”
Ding Dong Sean the Puffer
From the Ahmadinanutjob story:
Because without our devious plots to sow discord there would be … um … ah …what’s that word … oh, now I remember …
DISCORD!!!
Hmm, I managed to reason that out all by myself…
So I googled Jessica Lee Rose, and still have no idea of who she is. The Geezage continues…
“So butt out, you pesky American dogs! We are a proud people and will carry out all the massacres of Muslims and creation of chaos ourselves!”
dunno what the problem is, LD. My laptop is making its death rattle, so yet again, I’ll be forced to buy another computer.
Can’t we get something with a lifespan of more than 3 years?
It’s the stuff you make it say, Jeff.
Absolutely OT.
Does anyone else think that Buck Owens was a monster? Forget Hee Haw (which I actually used to play on), the man was a pioneer. Unless you can’t deal with talented country music artists.
Ahhh, balogney (or balogna. as the case may be).
Buck Owens was a monster.
That is awl (all).
All I know is that you one might suffer a raw gramophone listening to him.
Lost Dog:
I think Buck Owens is more of a minor demon.
Did you know Doyle Dykes from Grandpa Jone’s band. That man is some kind of guitarist.
Bustard blog. Hadn’t made it over there. Interesting “About” page, though:
Not that I have strenuous objection to self-contradictory statements, mind you. Just pointing, and grinning.
Before 74, absolutely. Since Don Rich died, gotta go with minor demon.
Forget Hee Haw (which I actually used to play on)…
Define “play on”. You mean you played on top of the TV set while it was on? Or that you appeared on camera as a cornstalk or something? Enquiring minds want to know!
(We watched Hee Haw religiously when I was a kid.)
Agreed. C’mon, Lost Dog, out yourself!
You weren’t Roy Clark’s toupe’, were you?
