Over at Bloody Scott, paul ilc has some great stuff on Koranimals (demonstrating against the police state that won’t let them behead British soldiers), Rape Convictions in the UK, Hugo Chavez’s Peculiar Liberalism, and his ongoing series of profiles of prominent academics.
Burgess is working on a major project that may or may not involve a shotgun blast to the face of a Guardianista. So remind yourself to go over there on Thursday.
Some guy calling himself the Instapundit links to the latest salvo in creationist/evolutionist bumpersticker dialectic, but it has a special meaning for us. He’s also got a good post about the not-a-civil-war between Fatah and Hamas.
Two posts by KC Johnson on some chicks the Edwards team chose to run their internet and netroots outreach. Overlawyered has the story on the deletions campaign the former has undertaken regarding past comments on lacrosse. None of them links to Protein Wisdom, although Durham Wonder Land references Impolitic (who’s mad at me, again).
Joe Malchow has the story of some shareholders at the NYT who, for some reason, aren’t happy with the performance of the company and the way they’re treated as second-class shareholders.
That guy’s blog is never going to take off with a name like Instapundit. He’s wasting his time.
Perhaps something like PossumPundit… or Dan’s Punditry Nook.
Those are good names.
You’re probably not aware that the possum’s snark is filled with poisonous bacteria, are you?
The number of things I’m not aware of would AMAZE you! Besides, I’ve dug too deep to avoid the snark at this point. Probably best to invest in some antiseptic sprays and hope for the best.
Thanks for the link, Dan. And don’t forget to join us in the playpen you founded!

And you didn’t mention the gay seahorses, Dan!
For those in the know, the quote on the bumper sticker has little or nothing to do with ‘creationist/evolutionist bumper-sticker dialectic’, it’s a quote from ‘Buckaroo Bonzai’, a not terribly serious movie, in which an alien calls a human ‘monkey boy’ – so the only creationist/evolutionist slant to this is the apparently the writers of the deep thinking BB (one of my favorite movies, BTW) were intimatng the aliens were evolutionists. BFD.
Other good lines from the movie:
“No matter where you go – there you are.” – Buckaroo Bonzai
“Ready the jet car for street use” – BB
“It looks like one of our thermopods – but it is a very bad design” – Alien John something-or-other (I forget, but all the aliens first names were ‘John’, with last names like Bigbootie – which the owner insisted on pronouncing as BigbooTAY).
The aliens all landed in Grovers Mills, New Jersey, on October 30, 1938 – ring any bells?
No matter where you go – there you are.
I think that’s from Thomas Pynchons ‘V’ if not then “The Crying of Lot 49”
Grovers Mills. Where the aliens landed in Orson Wells radio broadcast of ‘War of the Worlds’
Third try.
I’ve been saying that for thirty something years, and I never saw any of those movies.
As far as best bumper stickers go, Google this one:
“Jesus is coming. Look busy”.
My other ATF (all time favorite):
“I may not go down in history, but I’ll go down on your little sister”.
Am I a class48 act, or what?
That must be why she got such good grades in history.
Another good line from Buckaroo Bonzai:
Time is what keeps everything from happening all at once.
Curious that the Impolitic called me a stalker. Hell, I may have been the one who posted the excerpts from Mandy’s Duke post on the Edwards board, but it ain’t like anybody noticed. Taranto, Johnson, Newmark, Walter Olsen, Instapundit, Reason, Locke, etc—pw isn’t cited in a single post on Marcotte, that I’ve seen.
Like I said before, I’ve reached pariah status across the ideological spectrum.
Which is precisely when you know you’ve arrived, baby!
BS.
They’re just giving you cover.
How come Edwards hired chicks instead of babes?
Does the new lady have one of those mullets?
Because at least with the mullet ladies you know what is gonna happen… just sayin’
“I walk on water but I stagger on alcohol.”
“I remember when Saturns were rockets, not cars.”
“In the land of VD Queen, you’ll scream when you pee.”
I got a million of them from my ByteBrothers days. Send self-addressed stamped envelope, etc., etc.
tw: trying69. How apropo…

There are too many to keep track of.
I used to have the best T-shirt collection in the galaxy. You know: “If I needed any shit, I would have squeezed your head”, but unfortunately, I am old and dementia prevents me from remembering where I left those little suckers.
Well, maybe a couple more –
“If I wanted to hear from an asshole, I would have farted”.
“It must suck to be you”.
Endless. There are some really funny people inhabiting this planet.
Or did I mean ABA? This sake is killing me!
And that’s exactly what she is! But, I hesitate to add, so am I.
Interesting though tangential, PW’s random endorsement happened to stop upon Marcotte’s “with a cock almost as big as mine” comment when I logged in to read this.
Sake? You lucky b*stard! The nearest Jap joint serving that stuff is four hours away from me.
“24 missile tubes, 24 mushroom clouds, it’s Miller time.”
Yeah, but I learned a new trick. I just walk across the street to the liquor store and bring it home.
That said, if I had to swim there, I don’t know how often I would bother.
Unfortunately, I live in SE New Mexico these days. The local liquor store essentially consists of Albertsons and Walmart.
Off to El Paso/Las Cruces we go.
That, or if I have to drive on up to Los Alamos as I sometimes do, there are outposts of civilization along the way (hours and hours along the way)… 8^O
