Kim du Toit goes a little Sinead O’Connor and reminds us who the real enemy is.

There’s a new multi-person blog, Pave France. You can already guess the subject matter, so go enjoy.

Frank’s world is once again open for business. Quadruple drink alert!

Lee at right-thinking.com got a special present from some of our fighting men and women. Hee hee! (Link via Andrea Harris).

John Hawkins and his friend goof on a Brazilian anti-American radio host via ICQ. Hilarity results.

Sorry, there was a glitch where you’d come here and get redirected back to the old site. I’ve fixed the error now.

Rand Simberg notes a woman who chased kids around with a dildo and slapped them with it. Words fail me, too.

Laurence Simon knows why Disney’s finances are in the toilet these days.

Lileks makes fun of some of Amazon’s suppliers, then Gnat ensues. But don’t miss the 1970s Children’s Storybook Art at the end. It’s got more hideousness than an all-Hildi and Kia Trading Spaces marathon.

(Drink Alert in effect for the rest of this post)

UPDATE: I repeat, do NOT miss the Children’s Storybook Art. Because it comes with classically Lileksian descriptions like this:

And you know what they say about ten yards of unspooled intestines! Rover’s delight, Mommy takes fright.

Australia’s John Howard is perhaps the most articulate of the 3 Anglosphere leaders on the unfortunate necessity of war in Iraq.

Michele has managed to turn the whole “no sex for peace” thing on it’s head. A drink alert is involved due to a Tim Blair reference (you’ll see).

The 10-hotel Sofitel chain has removed the French flag from all of their US locations to avoid offending people. So in other words, France is preemptively surrendering. The comedy writes itself, folks.

Jonah Goldberg pulls an impressive allegory out of an episode of Buffy. It’s probably unlikely that the writers intended it that way, but it does work well. (And yes, I know that’s an old column, but he just linked it again today on the Corner and I’d missed it first time around).

I’ve upgraded my Redhat box to KDE 3.1, and it seems Konqueror 3.1 doesn’t like this new layout – it tries to put the left and right columns *inside* the main content column, with bizzare looking results. 3.0 worked fine, and Safari (Apple’s Konqi derivative) works fine. Go figure. So if you normally use Konqi and are on KDE 3.1, please use Mozilla 1.2 or later to view the Terran. I’ll try to figure out the problem, but no guarantees will be made.

Alright. Now that that nightmare’s over, let me tell you: never shop for a webhost on price alone. We have now escaped our previous host in favor of Total Choice Hosting. TCH is somewhat more expensive, but their service is already much better. Also, they have David Raynes, who is a Movable Type plugin developer, on staff. So he makes very sure that their systems run MT at peak efficiency. The new server imported all 1800 posts in less than 5 seconds, which is just blazing

Anyway, enough of that. All this means that the Terran should now have all the speed and stability you expect from any non-Blogspot blog, and there should be no further disruptions in postings or service.

Michele has declared it bitchslap Ted Rall’s fans day. I fully promote that concept.

Europeans have never liked America. That cowboy Bush has nothing to do with it. Shocking.

Rick Rubin and Johnny Cash are cool. Here’s why.

UPDATE: Don’t miss his cover of Nine Inch Nails’ “Hurt” either. The video can be seen here.

Hollywood asshats believe that people should still come to see their movies, even though they’re all Communist retards.

In related news, there’s a site that collects stupid quotes from celebrities.

Anti-brains groups will attempt to “shut down capitalism” once the war in Iraq starts. Yeah, whatever, asses.

Asparagirl finds a stray dog, and links to Petfinder.com, where you can search animal shelters for pets ready to be adopted. To my surprise, this includes birds of all kinds as well as cats and dogs.

Members of “Lezbollah” (thanks to Tim Blair for that one) have declared that all women should stop having sex with men until all war is abolished. Riiiiiiight. Den Beste skewers the plan pretty good, and then links to Meryl Yourish and Andrea Harris making further crap out of it.

Mark Steyn takes on anti-Americanism.

PS: posting is light today due to the aforementioned server problems. I was unable to log into Movable Type for several hours because our current host is having issues. As was also previously mentioned, we hope to switch hosts again tonight to one that fully supports MT and other cgi-bins. (A bit of irony: the current host’s own support message board suffers the same exact problems MT does!)

Islamozoids have opened up a branch in the Netherlands. They call for the abolition of Israel, and also for drugs and hookers to be made illegal.

Lileks gets a handout on “how to tell your kids about war”. And Fisks it.
