[I’m posting this update here, because I wish it to be stated up front. It has come to my attention that Dr Haggerty wrote the following on his site with respect to our debate on interpretation and how it works: My sense was that JG had one theory and was overcommitted to it, and wasn’t aware of other approaches to the issue.

Dis-Mantling Greenwald [Dan Collins]
I’m a little late coming to this party, but in an article from 2-19 in Salon, Glenn Greenwald takes issue with Jonah Goldberg regarding comments in NRO’s The Corner, where he promotes reading of Dana Priests articles on the execrable conditions at Building 18 at Walter Reed, but opines that he’s wary of Priest’s motives: I don’t trust Dana Priest that much, and I am suspicious of some of possible

Butthead (of Beavis & Butthead fame) reads a Patrick O’Brian novel [McGehee]

I’m Shocked, Shocked (CraigC)
Boy, you people are really losing it. Angie links in comments to a perfectly good story about Anna Nicole’s youthful lesbian affair, and nary a peep. Things are really going to hell in a hand basket when mundane trivialities like Jeff’s ongoing spat with the retards at Sadly, No get more comments than hot girl-on-girl action. My favorite part (of course): Powledge blushes, giggles and covers her face with her

Californication
Smoking bans, mandatory bicycle helmets, “no busking” laws—and now this. All over the plains, long-dead cowboys are rolling over in their rotting pine boxes—while Nancy Pelosi, wearing a Cardinal red power suit and a look of perpetual surprise, fights routinely injected toxins to curl her lip into a wry smile…

Rough Justice
SAN JOSE, Costa Rica (AP)—A tour bus of U.S. senior citizens defended themselves against a group of alleged muggers, sending two of them fleeing and killing a third in the Atlantic coast city of Limon, police said on Thursday. One of the tourists – a retired member of the U.S. military aged about 70 – put assailant Warner Segura in a head lock and broke his clavicle after the 20-year-old
