A frightening vision of the future?  Or a dream from which Atrios awakens—simultaneously aroused and a bit ashamed—to find his stumpy Duncan jr. still semi-tumescent, his sheets puddled and tacky from a longing that, alas, millions of slackjawed Rethuglican voters refuse to let come to pass…

A new Pajamas Media feature, in podcast form: Among this show’s topics are the rise of nuclear Iran, the US visit of China’s President Hu and how that relates to the behavior in China of Google, Yahoo and Microsoft, and the departure from the White House of press secretary Scott McClellan.

Using recently translated Harmony Database documents, an intriguing American Thinker post attempts to connect some dots concerning Iraq’s supposedly non-existent nuclear program: Our contributor Ray Robison notes a startling early 2001 article from the U.K. Sunday Times, claiming Saddam had and tested a nuclear weapon. What makes this old, and apparently dismissed, claim more viable is a document in the Harmony Database (what we call here “The Saddam Files”) recently

From the WSJ [subscription only]: We’ve all heard about the woman who won millions in a lawsuit after spilling hot coffee on herself.

Patterico asks: Is an L.A. Times columnist leaving comments on the Internet under assumed “sock puppet” identities — identities which he pretends is someone other than himself?

And bravo again. Whether or not you care for Michelle Malkin’s political positions, you should be honest enough to admit that this crusade to try to intimidate her and her family—a crusade being waged by mostly anonymous cowards who no person in the blogosphere, left OR right, should encourage or countenance—is both disgraceful and, in the long run, dangerous.  Not only that, but the pretext upon which it is based—the

From the Telegraph (UK): District Judge Jonathan Finestein said the decision to prosecute the youngster—accused of calling a fellow pupil a “Paki” and a “nigger” – was “political correctness gone mad”.
