What is with this garbage? I’m with Andrea 100%. Except I don’t drive an SUV so they’d get squished a lot lower.

Between 30,000 and 100,000 South Koreans protested in favor of the US and against the North. It must suck being Kim Jong Il.

Frank gets mail. Frank fisks mail. Fisk, Frank, Fisk.

Den Beste gets preached at by a pious British Tranzi that ordinary Americans are not allowed to care about 9/11. That’s *bzzt* the wrong answer of course

The “human shields” in Iraq are after realizing that Saddam really does want them stationed at legit military targets. Bwahahahahaha.

In a Peartian turn of phrase, Lileks notes that he’s ‘old enough to remember the future’. But the future ain’t what it used to be.

More fun at the expense of the Big Plan to have liberal radio (I mean, besides NPR).

First up, Fun with Photoshop. Next, the EU is knowingly funding terrorism, but we knew that. Plus, George Michael continues to be clue-resistant.

It looks like the new DNS has made it out to most places now. If the site looks all broken, blame Zeitgeist for reconfiguring MT about 2 days before I would consider it safe to. Also you can try closing your browser, reopenning it, and holding down shift or ctrl while clicking reload to force out any stale caches.

Anyway, since we’re posting from our proper URL again, I’ve re-enabled pinging weblogs.com. So if your blogroll is one of those fancy-schmancy types that indicates recently updated blogs, it should start reading IoT’s status properly again.

Just a brief note, Red Herring, that oh-so-influential mag of the dot-com days has shut its doors. What is a venture capitalist to do?!!? Maybe bankroll Die Hard 5: Mclane Kicks the Crap Out of Saddam? (yes I said 5, because theoretically 4 is still in development hell)

Add Bruce Willis. Yippie-ki-yay!

The mayor of Moab, Utah is horrified that our new even-more-powerful Daisy Cutter is called the “MOAB”. Whatever, dude.

Meanwhile, Sharia continues onward in France, and the State Department is endorsing a Holocaust denier as Arafat’s replacement.

PETA now claims that eating meat is as bad as the Holocaust. The Emperor and Arthur Silber let ‘em have it.

Mark Steyn visits a new theme park. Not really, but triple drink alert and all that.

An alarming new report is out: Europeans are getting fat! Naturally they blame America, but Andrea Harris thinks otherwise.

Mike Hendrix interviews Juan Gato. Drink alert, unless it’s tequila.

Den Beste got sent a link to an article on how Bush is misleading everyone into thinking war is necessary. The article itself contains pretty much every one of the tactics they accuse Bush of. Comedy ensues.

If so, this dispatch from the Emperor will cause you to wet your pants.

While moving to the new server, I also learned some CSS and threw away the last bits of the old Blogger-inspired template in favor of some “new hotness”. It’s perfect in both IE6 and Mozilla 1.2.1, and very close in Konqueror 3.0. If some late-model browser (I don’t care about IE4.x or 5.x or Netscape 4.x, sorry) chokes on it, please let me know. The basic layout is derived from an example at The Layout Reservoir, so big thanks to them!

UPDATE: There’s something goofy with the individual archive pages, at least in IE6. (Text doesn’t appear until you scroll the window or highlight it, very strange). That template was going under the knife next anyway

E. Nough has brutally Fisked Palestinian apologist Edward Said’s latest. (Link via Kathy Kinsley).

I’m behind on this because of the drama with the site, but Michele has started TROOPtrax, in which people donate to buy CDs for our military personnel overseas. A very cool idea for a very good cause!

Beautiful. Totally brilliant.

Dr. Frank discusses the Left’s insane need to link Israel to Iraq.

From a real Rummy press conference:

Q: Could you tell us — could you tell us why the administration to date at least doesn’t favor direct talks with the North Korean government? After all, we continue speaking to the French. (Laughter.)

Rumsfeld: (Pause.) I’m not going there. (Laughter.) The French are our allies in NATO, and North Korea is a very different situation.

(Link via Ben Domenech).

To repeat once again, this is the new server! Please check it out and post comments and do whatever. Once the name servers catch up, this will be http://www.ioterran.com/ as before, so you don’t need to worry about memorizing the new name.

Thanks for reading!
