Since last I looked the comments were down at Cathy’s site, please take a moment to go and sign the petition I set up.
Kathryn Jean Lopez notes that her Technorati buzz is greater than Paris Hilton’s at the moment, a fact that would have amused her. (h/t Reynolds)
Bob Owens has an inadequate response to a grieving father, as every such response must be.
David Thompson has reflections on teh stupiverse.
Joe Malchow: Old Blue Eyes was a HOMOPHONE
Another Moderate Muslim Sighting:
Lawyers and a Muslim group say they will defend at no cost airline passengers caught up in a lawsuit between a group of imams and U.S. Airways if the passengers are named as “John Does” and sued for reporting suspicious behavior that got the Muslim clerics booted from a November flight.
The six imams are suing the airline, Minneapolis-St. Paul Metropolitan Airports Commission, and the unnamed “John Does” to be named later, for discrimination, saying they were removed from the flight for praying in the airport.
Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser, a Phoenix-area physician and director of American Islamic Forum for Democracy—a group founded in 2003 to promote moderate Muslim ideas through its Web site (http://www.aifdemocracy.org)—told The Washington Times his group will raise money for legal fees for passengers if they are sued by the imams.
Bravo.
Satiricon–What an opportunity for dizzying heights of meta-ness. All encouraged to take part.
It is great to live in a country that would never grant to any government or government- sponsored entity the right to a) determine what is or is not satire, and to b) impose punishments upon speech it does not understand.

Undoubtedly, Bush made them say it.
Al Gore Likens Himself to 300 Spartans
C’mon. He’s not THAT big yet.
Am I just exceptionally dense, or is there a problem with the Old Blue Eyes link? (Earthlink webmail?)
Thanks, MTR. Does it work for you, now?
Frank Sinatra couldn’t hold a tune in a bucket.
Yes, much better, thanks!
Uh oh.
Not a lot of range maybe, but Old Blue Eyes could’ve crooned half the females of his generation into his bed and gave it a shot too. Something to be said for that.
Did anyone catch the repulsive little cybersquatter smearing Cathy? Faux last post confessing to being an evil, inhuman reich-wing failure. I haven’t seen anything so disgusting in some time.
Some people should just go to hell right this very minute.
No, where was that, Pablo?
I won’t give it the benefit of a link, but append a .com to Cathy’s name.
Anyone capable of a DDOS?
?
Presume it has been deleted. Maybe related to the evil spirit which took over Cynn’s keyboard yesterday.
That Satire thing is quite disturbing both as regards the self-important lunatic in Europe and the PC numskulls in the States.

In his testimoney before the House Energy
Actually, no they aren’t Al. See the “300” were willing to make a sacrifice, specfically their lives, to protect and awaken people to the danger. Congress and your carbon offset buying hollywood pals? Not so much.
It’s one thing to be full of shit, but it’s entirely different to be so full of shit that you don’t even bother trying to look like you believe what your saying.
Apparently, something untoward happened.
Cheers to whatever it was!
Ah, the POS has a name: Eliot Stein
Now that a DDOS is unnecessary, anyone know voodoo?
Dan, thanks for the petition for Cathy Seipp. I just signed it. Never knew her, obviously, but I have been a some-time lurker at her site for a while now and I really enjoy her writing. (Plus I have a soft-spot for other conservative single moms!) Her daughter wrote that Cathy is still fighting–dare we hope there’s any chance she’ll pull through? Can’t help but hope..
No need. There is a special place in Hell for the likes of Eliot Stein, may his soul twist in agony through eternity.
As I vaguely recall from years of droning history professors, the 300 Spartans delayed but did not stop the army of Xerxes. A “blocking force” who all got killed in the end, once the Persians found a way around behind them…
It is a sad shame that we cannot really trust the Muslim group who says they will defend airline passengers against the racist imamis.
There are plenty of Muslims in America who came here to get away from the shit CAIR would like to bring. I, like many others, have been waiting to see them stand against their ostensible coreligionists in defense of the culture they came here to be a part of.
If they’re going to put their money where their mouth is, then my hat is off to them.
Go tell the Spartans, passerby
That here, obedient to their will, we’ve bought credits paying someone else to lie.
A traitor gave the Persians the route around. No word if he was employed by the NYT at the time.
What’s Greek for “Code Pink”?
Well, Cathy’s site is back up and very sorry to say, Michelle, Cathy passed away today at 2:05 pm.

Thank you, Additional Blond Agent, for that. My heart is heavy, my eyes are tearing up–and I never even knew her! I feel for her daughter. Cathy was a terrific writer, but what hurts the most for me, personally, is that mother and daughter have been taken from each other. The closeness and love they had for each other was crystal-clear. Now, I’m off to hug and kiss my own kids, whether they like it or not…
Sad, very sad. But leave it to Treacher to bring teh funny:
Thanks, indeed.
As noted at Cathy’s blog, Susan Estrich remembers Cathy fondly.
Pablo,
Got a hair or blood sample of the guy? Heck, an IP address might work if I can get Papa Legba to lend a hand.
