Man down

Columnist and reporter Michael Kelly was killed today while doing embedded reporting in Iraq.

Why couldn’t it have been Geraldo?

Update: The Indymedia ghouls are having a party, but NRO has some appropriate words.

    I agree with everything Mike Hendrix says here. PFC Lynch is 100% pure awesome.

    A man in Alton, IL (near St. Louis) was arrested for putting naked pictures of himself under the windshield wipers of parked cars. The pictures included an email address. (Hat tip, as for most of this weird stuff, to the Obscure Store).

  • Man, he’s old

    Lileks notes thanks to a new DVD that Billy McKinney hasn’t aged a day since Vichy France, where it was still all about the J-E-W-S. Some fine cracks about Sharon’s domination of all news media from his computer ensue.

    Everyone’s linked to this tale of exactly how smart the whole “embedded reporters” thing is turning out to be, but I hadn’t yet so it wasn’t official. Ha! The title of this post answers the reporter’s question.

    I’m sorry, I’ve concluded that “Cox and Forkum” sounds like a bad porno. That’s nothing off the quality of their fine cartoons though such as this example. Although I think Amanpour was much hotter during Gulf War I.
