The Opinionated Bastard is reading the Brookings Institute Report and pulling out bits of information, so the rest of us don’t have to go blind trying to read the thing. He seems to feel a tipping point is coming, and that Iraq is going better than we’re being told. Check him out here, here, here and the whole report is here. Read more
Related: Pool of Siloam This is obviously a very exciting story: King David’s Palace Is Found, Archaeologist Says So, why should I feel a little let down? Well, take a look at the way the NY Times wrote it: Line 1) An Israeli archaeologist says she has uncovered in East Jerusalem what may be the fabled palace of the biblical King David. Line 2) Her work has been sponsored by a conservative Israeli research institute and financed by an American... Read more
I love, love, love listening to Tracey when she is on a rant. She is anticipating the end of her two-week long Summer Drama Camp, and she comes off one part Mary Poppins, one part Henry Higgins: 30 sweaty hours, 16 wanna-be “actors,” 14 drama queens (of both sexes), 9 unruly boys, countless bossy parents, and 1 floor roller later, (the camp finale) is finally here. So I will sport my “No Refunds” t-shirt and plop a paper bag over... Read more
Betsy Newmark brings this story to our attention – and a sorry story it is: Bavarian bar keepers have been told that the dirndl, generally rather revealing, will have to be replaced as it offers no protection against what the directive calls “natural sources of radiation”, meaning sunlight.

That’s what I always do. For examply, Ankle Biting Pundits has this to say about the new Ipsos-AP Poll, which is leading all the tv/radio news hours: Take a gander at Questions 2 a. – d. in the toplines of the Ipsos poll (PDF). Of the 79% of respondents who are registered to vote, almost half (49%) describe themselves as “strongly Democrat” or “moderately Democrat,” whereas only 39% describe themselves as “strongly Republican” or “moderately Republican.” As for the 21%...

I have been seeing the writing on the walls for a little while, but now it is really becoming clear to me…dear readers, as grateful as I am for your taking the time to visit the site and drop me a note, I am finding that the volume of emails I am receiving is beginning to overwhelm me. This blog is nearly a year old and in that time I have really tried to make it my policy to answer... Read more
This one has been confirmed by Snopes. Don’t open email that purports to have pictures of Osama bin Laden being hanged, or that say he is “captured.” H/T Rick at Brutally Honest. Read more
The dumbest thing I have yet read re the NY TIMES trying to unseal the Robert’s kids adoption records comes from this email to Kathryn Jean Lopez at The Corner: How stupid are you? Wait, don’t answer. Roberts’ adoptions are relevant because he has two adorable, white blond kids. He probably exerted pull to get them, leaping ahead of the tens of thousands of other adults who want kids like that. Moron. In which case, I guess we ought to... Read more
