Here’s a bunch of mirrors of Rob “Acidman” Smith’s song, My Door Is Always Open. I had no idea he was that talented – now it hurts worse.

Mark Steyn and Hugh Hewitt discuss that and other things.

Plus: Lileks.

Muir on the aftermath at the Times.

Cox & Forkum on one of the Big Lies.

An NYU professor (natch) is threatening civil war if we don’t all immediately vote only for approved Kos Kandidates.

The ‘Hawk has a new screenplay. No, really.

Laurence tells the Russians what they meant to say after the IDF buzzed Boy Assad’s palace without activating Syria’s Russian-made defences until they were nearly done.

The Supreme Court has ruled that not only do full Constitutional protections apply to illegal enemy combatants, they apply to anyone we go to war against, including al-Queda and Osama bin Laden. I could not make up something this treasonous.

UPDATE: Looks like Bush may yet out-manuever the court though.

Mark Steyn on sex scenes in books, movies, and plays. Yes, really.

It’s one year.

In Berzerkley (natch) they’re putting “should the Bushitler be impeached?” on the ballot. Jeff and Allah already used all the available sarcasm on this topic so I went straight for “mean” (in the title).

Why marry Zed? Damon has a guess.

One of Cox & Forkum’s best yet.

As Ace notes, the Pallies’ chemical rocket can’t have actually hit anything if they had to announce they’d launched one.

The IDF arrested over 60 top Hamas guys. They of course claim it’s a mistake because they’re from the “political wing”. Whatever.

The Pallies claim to have murdered at least one of the hostages (UPDATE: IDF confirms, they found the body). Plus, Al Aqsa claims to have rockets with chemical warheads, and more specifically to have fired one into Israel. And yet the Israelis remain the bad guys in all the press reports.

Charles breaks through the tip-toeing here.

Babalu Blog is 3 years old today. Go give Val a kind word.

There’s fantastic coverage of the IDF’s summer cleanup in Gaza on Israellycool.

Ask the Cats™ about the failure of the flag-burning amendment (yet another cute attempt by the RINOs to distract conservatives from their failures).

Major family tragedies strike after “Hey, check this out!” for both groups.

Michelle Malkin on the “terrorist-tipping Times”.

The “after-service celebration” sounds perfect. Wish I could be there. And here are a bunch of details, including links to an obituary and a (currently knocked down) link to one of Rob’s original songs.

Mark Steyn on immigration.

Jeff experiences them firsthand.

Muir got a real web designer so now I can properly permalink DBD strips.
