Now lifting the sanctions is ok with them. Maybe we’ve found or are about to find something really damning on them.

Den Beste writes at length on everyone’s favorite topic.

Here’s the inevitable Jennifer Eccleston fan club. (Hat tip: Ben Domenesch)

(IMAO readers: this is what Frank wanted you to see)

Irony is the enemy of the Left, example #492937.

Kim du Toit reminds everyone of what it was like 3 years ago today.

Meryl Yourish talks about why she blogs. I’d like to expand on (or, more accurately, contract) one thing she says:

I wanted to kick Wil Wheaton’s ass in stats

Having recently watched the first four seasons of Star Trek: The Next Generation pretty much back to back (hurrah for DVDs), I would render that as I wanted to kick Wil Wheaton’s ass, full stop.

Some nitwits had a peace poster contest. Ken Layne, Jim Treacher, and many others demonstrated once again that irony is the mortal enemy of the anti-war crowd.

Michelle has the lyrics for Dr. Frank’s song.

Acidman has a very special message for the anti-war weenies.

OTB points to Thomas Sowell capably blowing up affirmative action.

With the war over, the State Department has lowered the France Loathing Index from Abhorrance to Disdain. No, really.

British MP George Galloway, one of the most anti-war politicians in the UK, is implicated as having been on Saddam’s payroll. Ouch.

This would be funny if it weren’t so repulsive. Happened across mentions of this while doing some research.

Actual quote: At the end, the player confronts the “end boss,” a rocket launcher-wielding Ariel Sharon, who hurls insults such as: “Oy vey! Can you shoot no better than that?”; “We have destroyed your culture!”; and “We silenced Henry Ford.” When Sharon dies, he coughs out “Filthy White dog, you have destroyed thousands of years of planning.”

Via an email tip from Frank Becktel, here’s his great Fisking of the one and only Burger Bolshevik.

This was some interesting reading as Ken always is. What surprises some people about it are the following points Ken makes(and I paraphrase here):

Kim du Toit Fisks the entire city of Austin, TX. Not high difficulty, but funny.

Sandy Duncan decides to become the latest B-list (and I’m being generous in her case) celebrity to bash Bush. Luckily for the forces of good, Kate is on the job and delivers an excellent Fisking. Drink alert!

Aeroflot is finally changing their logo so it no longer includes the hammer and sickle. Apparently that logo had “negative connotations”.

…that while their government is infested with weasels, there are still plenty of honorable decent Germans. I certainly wouldn’t want anyone judging the American people on the basis of Daschle or Powell or even GWB and we oughta avoid that mistake for others too. Except the French.

Steve H. wanders around blogs and tells a funny story about the true power of the “N” word. Also Marvin interrupts a lot. Sadly no mp3 of Marv swearing is provided.

Lileks goes on for a while about his postcard collection, and then levels France from orbit.

Nicole Kidman appears to have left Scientology when she left Tom Cruise. (Hat tip: Fark)

Cox and Forkum draw the best “Tiny” Tom Daschle ever.

Congrats to Neil Gaiman on his Nebula win for ‘American Gods’. Also grats to Joss Whedon who has episodes of three of his creations up for Hugos this year, two of which he wrote the teleplays for. And as a followup congrats to Neil again on his Hugo nom for Novella with ‘Coraline’ and his BSFA short fiction win for the same.

Academic theorists are all upset that they don’t matter anymore. Aww. (Yet another hat tip to the Corner).
