Glenn Reynolds says that the White House is emailing out this Fisking of the New York Times to lots of journalists. Following in the footsteps of “Axis of Weasel” becoming an internationally known term, I can only say “Advantage: Blogosphere!”.

Charles Krauthammer eulogizes the UN. And it’s not complimentary.

Here’s a great military history of France. LOL!

UPDATE: And this is a terrific Slate column on French anti-Americanism by Chris Suellentrop.

Here’s a great map which vividly shows “Rumsfeld’s New Europe”, and how out of touch the “Old Europe” is.

Here’s a great article in The Economist about how the Axis of Weasel(tm) alienated their own best ally in Washington.

Boortz vs. Donahue, mano a mano, tonight at 8 PM Eastern (7 Central) on MSNBC. No other guests this time, it oughta be fun!

Lileks says the future ain’t what it used to be. How true that is.

PS: Kevin Smith fans take note: “Eden Prairie Center” is (was) the Mallrats mall.

Everyone’s done this but me so far, but I just have to list some of the more amusing searches that have brought people here:

“Paige Davis bikini” (what, not Amy Wynn?)
“mindy paige davis” (don’t make me staple flowers to your bathroom)
“cox forkum” (this would sound weird to non-LGF regulars!
“naked peace protestors pics” (sorry boys)
“Joe Millionaire” and bondage (I know why this is a search, but I don’t know why it leads *here* of all places).
“bomb france” (damn skippy)

And yes, I’m aware that even listing these will skew future searches even worse. But I couldn’t help it.

The “gang of 8″ has become 10, with the additions of Albania and Slovakia.

Additionally, the EU parliament has more than enough signatures to start an investigation of where the “Baby Wipe Billionaire” Yasser Arafat is spending Europe’s money. What a terrible day for the likes of Chirac and Chris Patten.

Here’s some pics from the Tampa Super Bowl parade. Since I was at the game and stuff and didn’t make it back to Florida until late Monday night of course I missed any chance of seeing that stuff live, but hey

Here’s a terrific Den Beste essay on the current state of things vis a vis Europe and Iraq.

The Editing Room is an excellent site with frequently funny “abridged” versions of movies.

Ultra-Orthoblogger Ben Shapiro has a great column on the Big Lie about al Aqsa, which all US media (including FNC) continue to repeat.

Meryl Yourish wrote a great song parody.

Here’s the full text of the “screw you France, we’re supporting GWB” open letter from the leaders of 8 European countries. Hee hee!

UPDATE: being away from the computer for 4 days, I missed the full story on the “Axis of Weasel” catch phrase, in which Scott Ott from Scrappleface caused actual trouble for French and German diplomats. Glenn Reynolds in his MSNBC guise has the story here.

UPDATE 2: Here’s a Reuters story on the large cracks appearing in the EU’s facade.

Jonah Goldberg points to and discusses an excellent Marty Peretz piece on European anti-Semetism.

Susanna Cornett brings news of a distinct lack of creativity on the part of the Left.

The EU is coming apart at the seams over multiple issues. HA ha!

Pilger’s off his meds again.

Anna over at BBB has this great roundup of all our stealth toys. Fun for everyone, where “everyone” does not include Donks, Euroweenies, Islamofacists, and Hollywood actors.

Lileks has no Bleat today, but he does have a new Institute of Official Cheer section on Whitman’s Little Big Books. Need you really know more? Just go enjoy.

LGF has this wonderful picture of more anti-French demonstrations in the Ivory Coast today.

The Emperor reels in a lovely example of anti-idiotarianism in action. Beautiful job by “mtpolitics”.

Please excuse our dust, we’re working on upgrading the Terran to Movable Type to better annoy you. Comments from the old Haloscan system are lost and there’s nothing that can be done, sorry.

Also, the post titles will look weird on imported posts. Blogger didn’t support the title feature, so MT punted and used the first few words of the post as the title. Sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn’t

BTW, any MT experts out there know if it’s possible to force all posts to “Publish”? I accidentally imported them as “Draft”, and clicking 1000 pulldowns is not my idea of fun.

Tim Blair delivers Osama’s State of the Union Address.
