Anna thinks today’s AoD could kick the WW2 model’s ass. I agree, and not just because I have an immediate family member in the current model. People today are bigger, stronger, and have much cooler toys. Also, we invented the NFL. Everyone else watches “soccer”, which involves small androgynous men running around in short shorts.

Even without the Arsenal of Democracy(tm) involved, is there really any doubt?

Steve H. Fisks Ted Rall. Must I say more?

Check it out hehe… Thanks Nethertroll!

John Hawkins at RWN interviews noted William Shatner ghostwriter and inventor of the term “blogosphere” Bill Quick, plus National Review’s Andrew Stuttaford. At the same time. Good stuff.

Frank’s Rummy is on. Go!

New evidence indicates that it was warmer during the Middle Ages. Certainly global warming is a tough sell on a day like today, when baseball games are being called on account of a blizzard.

Lots of people, including some of the writers of the Simpsons, are not amused that “cheese-eating surrender monkey” is being used “for evil” by political commentators. Includes a hilarious series of quotes from a history professor (of course) claiming that there’s nothing wrong with France’s surrender in WW2, and besides we didn’t liberate them, “mostly”. Uhhhhh, what?

Jonah Goldberg thinks we should throw Saddam in Arkham Asylum.

You thought the whole “freedom fries” thing was ridiculous? Meet Germans who are speaking French to protest the war. I’m laughing too hard to offer any further commentary.

Arabs are “disappointed” that Saddam isn’t putting up much of a fight.

You know you want to. The comments on this one are not to be missed.

Acidman Fisks the Iraqi government. I realize this is “difficulty: none”, but I got a good laugh out of it anyway.

Den Beste notes that the Hungarian police are censoring one of the best anti-EU posters ever. It’s simply brilliant.

Maybe they can get married and save us some typing. But anyway, Tim Blair takes out the trash here. Except that Blogger/Blogspot is farked up again so you’ll need to go here and look for the article under Tuesday April 08, 2003 that starts off about “CHEMICAL ALI”.

Check this out, delivered as only the Brits can.

Adam Sandler has a nice message for the troops up on his site. Nice to see another island of sanity in the sea of crazy celebs.

I was just reminded of one of my favorite quotes of the year:

“So, in conclusion, who should solve the North Korean problem? How about any country but us? France, you’ve got a lot of opinions. Go over there. You’ll love North Korea, it’s completely devoid of Jews. Come on France, less talk, more rock.”

See the full transcript here.

It’s nice to know that somethings never change. ReportersNotebook.com for example, where every attempt at intelligent discourse on their message board is met with anti-semitism, homophobia, and tin-foil hat worthy replies. An acceptable reply to any post that questions them is ‘Dirty J-E-W! F-A-G-G-O-T IDF lover!’. It would be comical if it weren’t so sad.

A defector gives details at Newsmax.

Look here for the full article, but here’s the pull quote:

“Still, I’ve got to say I love this Information Minister guy. He’s like a Muslim Michael Moore on the Atkins diet.”

Thanks Moorewatch!

Kick ass…

That’s a question you have to ask yourself when you see things like this go down. Als0o, way to go peaceniks, it sure is helpful to stop these shipments which are mostly made up of food to aid Iaqi civilians. Whatever, asshats…

A direct rip of the Reuters feed…
