 "Tolerance" is a one-way street. How about plain good manners? Michelle on the chocolate Jesus
Evita sending Bill out to raise money. A sign that she is worried. Who is running? And one rhetorical question: How come Rudy gets all sorts of attacks this week for answering a question by saying that perhaps his wife might attend a Cabinet meeting on a topic of special interest to her - while Bill Clinton ran as "two presidents for the price of one"? Hillary attended meetings whenever she wanted. Breaking into houses at night and killing women and children. The US Army pays a visit to Omar's Baghdad home. Nice example of justice in Texas. Ace. A bad day for the little Mrs. Image: Photo of the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival (thanks, reader)

 Riehl says:
Iran is degrading and manipulating British sailors and marines, one of them a woman, and the world is probably waiting for America to do anything provocative so they can somehow blame this all on us. There's no backbone left in the West and Iran knows it.
Or are they letting Tehran overplay their hand? "Bearded Mullah speak with forked tongue", as Tangled Web put it. Another greenie hypocrite. Unbelieveable. Travolta. Find me a prominent greenie spokesperson who walks the walk. Just one. Pius Xll - The Nazi Pope? Not quite. What is an enemy? A political enemy, that is. SC&A. Too long, but good. More on the liberal hypocrisy over free trade. View from 1776. I think they just see a possible issue - and damn what is for the best. Drezner has more on the subject. Women are angrier than men. Duh. Dr. Helen (h/t, Jules) Let a woman in your life, and your serenity is through... Circuit City on a downwards slide. Internet commerce growing fast in China. Dinocrat. Can a totalitarian state maintain itself if it has internet access? "The ten questions I want to ask Al Gore." John Hawkins. It's about the same as our ten.

A cottage in Truro. Just wonderful. Sippican Cottage. EU eliminates Islamic terrrorism, overnight. Gates of Vienna. Why didn't we think of that? Largest tax hike in history. Details at Flopping. But why? On general principles? Africa to Mugabe: "Love ya, dude." No wonder Africa is hopeless. Blogs. I recently read (I forget where) that only around 300,000 people regularly follow politically-oriented blogs. I have no way to confirm the accuracy of that number. Are we a politically-oriented blog? I don't know: kinda-sorta. The size of the market is small, and therefore even the biggest blogs are limited in their ability to grow readership. It's a matter of people's interest as much as anything else. One can only envy the porn and NASCAR sites for the level of interest they attract. I mention this because Kim du Toit has an interesting piece on the stats of American internet access. Around 30% of Americans have no interest in internet access, according to a study. (That must be the 30% of Americans who don't read Maggie's Farm daily.) Image: Maker's Mark advt. via Mr. Free Market, who I doubt is a bourbon drinker but who has a good eye for ads.
 The "surge" isn't so much a surge in force as it is a tactical change towards aggressive neigborhood policing, with the theory that effective policing will embolden the good guys to get on our side, so we can leave Iraq to the Iraqis. Problem is that everything the Dems and the media are doing works to undermine that effort. Villainous has a good summary piece: Killing the Surge
LaShawn Barber, one of our favorites, is planning to give up her blog. Read the link to learn why (hint: It's about God). Biological Fantasies: A few basic immutable facts about human nature from Dr. Sanity, who sounds like she is on the exact same page as our Dr. Bliss. Captain Ed thinks Tehran blew it. I think that depends on whether their purpose is international or internal politics. An attack would bolster a possibly shaky government. How Germans view America. Don Surber.

I still cannot believe that a military Brit prisoner would speak these words: "Obviously we trespassed into their waters," Turney said. "They were very friendly and very hospitable, very thoughtful, nice people. They explained to us why we've been arrested. There was no harm, no aggression." Meanwhile, incomprehensibly, Pelosi refuses to support the Brits.
 To My Fellow Immigrants. Kohlmayer, in the NY Sun
"Great moments in political priorities". Driscoll. And may I ask what is the big problem with either plastic or paper bags? Clinton pays $400,000 for the Vilsak endorsement. Who is Vilsak again? Dems inching away from free trade. Very bad idea, but it has cheap populist emotion behind it. The DC scandal that was never reported. Gateway. Why not reported?

Moslems acting strange and creepy in airports want to be ignored. Sorry guys: We are watching you especially carefully. Do we look stupid? We are all John Does. World's tallest man gets married. BBC A fine rant about the decay of American education. "Shame on us for allowing this to happen". S,C&A Mugabe just won't quit. But it's OK - to create a socialist paradise, you have to crack a few heads.

 I am wondering what I would do if I were Tony Blair.
Robert Petersen (of Petersen Publishing) died. A sportsman and car-lover, Petersen was very generous with conservation causes. Frontline's News War site:you can have fun with this site for a while/ Love the planet. Ham video tells you how. Another US income redistribution graph at Viking. When is enough enough? Obama doesn't get it. Betsy. America is the people, not the government. Offensive to women? World's best bourbon. UK in a dreamworld. EU REferendum. I agree with neo-neo's comment yesterday: Since Vietnam the situation is murkier because many conflicts (such as the present one) are not wars at all, although in earlier times such acts as that of Iran’s seizing of the sailors would be considered a casus belli. Now, as Admiral West says, we are reluctant to “escalate” to military action for fear of causing a larger war—and our opponents are not reluctant to provoke us because they know that. Paradoxically, our respect for civilian life is being used against us by an enemy that does not share it.

Why McCain-Feingold is a terrible thing. Betsy Hey - how about those marches in support of the 15 Brit hostages? (h/t, Viking) $28 billion. That's the final tab for Pelosi's surrender vote. And she complains about the cost of the war? "I was told there would be no math." Journalists are numerically impaired. From a piece at Belmont Club, re the Brit prisoners: As currently interpreted the Geneva Conventions only apply to individuals bent on destroying America. Individuals who blow up elementary schools, kidnap children, attack churches and mosques, kill invalids in wheelchairs, plan attacks on skyscrapers in New York, behead journalists, detonate car bombs with children to camouflage their crime, or board jetliners with explosive shoes -- all while wearing mufti or even women's clothing -- these are all considered "freedom fighters" of the most principled kind. They and they alone enjoy the protections of the Geneva Convention. As to Americans like Tucker and Menchaca or Israeli Gilad Shalit -- or these fifteen British sailors for that matter, it is a case of "what Geneva Convention?" We don't need no steenkin' Geneva Convention to try these guys as spies. That's the way the Human Rights racket works. Don't go looking for any Geneva Convention in Somalia, Darfur, Basilan or Iran. Try Guantanamo Bay.
Do we have enough tax redistribution, or do we need more? I think we are taking care of the poor - and this doesn't even include charity. Graph from piece at Willisms: 
Look at how Time and Newsweek alter their covers for other countries. Registan. (Registan focuses on news from Central Asia.) Australia's Geelong Advertiser has a strong editorial against global warming hysteria. People are beginning to catch on. (h/t. Tim Blair) Decorum preferred to truth at the UN Human Rights Council. Democracy Project The new Jane Fonda. Sean Penn.

 What is Iran up to, with their Brit prisoners? It's almost a declaration of war.
David Stockman charged in securites fraud. Barone on Al Gore and globalistical warmening. Sounds just like us. Sane and reasonable. Kelo, Chinese-style. All those years of Communism and they still want private property. (h/t, Small Dead Baby Seals) There's a new medicine for restless leg sydrome. Don't mock it if you haven't had it. Fact vs. narrative. Well put, by Asst. Village Idiot In Canada, they give you a discount for energy conservation, then raise your bill because the conservation makes the power company lose money. How rational. Is there anyone left in the world who thinks that bureaucrats are smarter than markets? A sheep that is 15% human. Definitely a good college candidate. Super-size me. Ambulances for fatties in Australia. A fine Monday morning rant, about WalMart, medical insurance, and CEO pay. And Rightly So Bad things happen in wars. Never Yet Melted. War is not social work

 What is Iran up to? Tweaking the nose of the West to prove something? Testing limits? Trying to demonstrate that the West will collapse easily? Do they want to trade personnel? Or do they want to provoke an attack? Or do they want to scare the Brits away from the Middle East? Or do they want to provoke a battle? And, more important, what is the Brit game now? More talk?
Iran has captured Brit sailors outside their waters. That is a calculated invitation - provocation - for military reprisal. Will Tony Blair take off his skirt and put on his trousers? I know international affairs are more complex than the ordinary bar fight, but, ultimately, this is a test of resolve. And Iran already decided that the Brits would fold, or they would not have dared this stunt. There is laughter in Tehran tonight.
 Viacom's case against YouTube. Sounds compelling to me. If stuff isn't public domain, it's private. But the way stuff moves around these internets, it can be hard to tell.
How to juggle three balls. This is great. Very clear instruction. Get off the dang computer, find some tennis balls, and teach the whole family to juggle. Update: The Dylanologist would prefer to juggle oranges, heads of lettuce, eggs, or 20 year-old blond Swedish nannies. On the other hand, Roger says: Tennis balls make lousy juggling balls. Go to the sporting goods store and buy three lacrosse balls. Get two orange and one white. You can use the white one to see how far along in any progression you are, and eventually you can use it to do unusual throws. Tennis balls don't weigh enough and bounce out of your hands. A lacrosse ball is heavy and sits right in there. It bounces, but not like a superball.
Also, magic/joke/book stores sell little square beanbags for juggling. They are great for learning, as they do not roll or bounce away when you drop them. Lacrosse balls at the beach in the sand are the ne plus ultra schizzle, though.

 Defending the honor of the Confederate flag. AOL News. We already explained why we honor it, and it ain't racist. Nobody remembers that wealthy Yankees had slaves during the war until the Emancipation Proclamation. We honor our southern brethren at Maggie's Farm every chance we get, for their valiant and hopeless struggle for freedom. And we are sort-of glad that they lost that effort - it was probably for the best in the long run. But worth all of those brave young lives? I doubt it. Slavery was a goner, anyway.

We found they had no power worthy of mention. There was a huge aura over America -- the United States -- that terrified people even before they entered combat. Our brothers who were here in Afghanistan tested them, and together with some of the mujahedeen in Somalia, God granted them victory. America exited dragging its tails in failure, defeat, and ruin, caring for nothing. America left faster than anyone expected. It forgot all that tremendous media fanfare about the new world order, that it is the master of that order, and that it does whatever it wants. It forgot all of these propositions, gathered up its army, and withdrew in defeat, thanks be to God.”

Moonbattery Joe Lieberman as quoted in Powerline: There is something profoundly wrong when opposition to the war in Iraq seems to inspire greater passion than opposition to Islamist extremism. There is something profoundly wrong when there is so much distrust of our intelligence community that some Americans doubt the plain and ominous facts about the threat to us posed by Iran. And there is something profoundly wrong when, in the face of attacks by radical Islam, we think we can find safety and stability by pulling back, by talking to and accommodating our enemies, and abandoning our friends and allies. Some of this wrong-headed thinking about the world is happening because we're in a political climate where, for many people, when George Bush says "yes," their reflex reaction is to say "no." That is unacceptable.
