Jonah Goldberg Hits the Nail in the Skull of the Democrats.
But now, in one of the most repugnant and craven partisan ploys in modern American history, Democrats have decided that they cannot accept their own responsibility in what they clearly consider to be a mistake. They cannot even criticize the CIA for yet another horribly [...]
Nicolas Cage disappointed at losing Bond role
“You can cast a Brit to play Bond but you can never cast an American to play him.
“I think that is totally unfair.”
Oh, cry me a river. As if Cage would have a career without his various Coppola cousins.
The U.S. has every friggin’ film franchise except Bond. Let [...]
Carolina Top Cat Cheerleaders Had Sex in Bar Bathroom Stall…and when an impatient patron complained, Renee Thomas (the one on the left) decked her. When arrested, Thomas handed over a co-worker’s driver’s license–the police didn’t notice until after she was released on bail. Presumably they didn’t look much past her Wonder bra. So add to [...]
The President’s approval ratings dropped to 36% – Iraq will be his barometer here on out, and with two and a half years and 2,000 deaths the new threshold for “Vietnam!!!!!!” and massive jitters and opposition party treachery, our only hope is the president’s proven intransigence and stated imperviousness to public opinion polls.

But times, they change. Now it’s the fishermen begging for protected grounds and the environmentalists who want to do away with them.
It’s all the otters’ fault. Otters endanger the fishing industries by chowing down [...]
The 11-Year Quest to Create Disappearing Colored Bubbles
Bright cobalt blue soap bubbles. Or black. Or hot pink. The color disappears when the bubble does.
Inventor Tim Kehoe and chemist Ram Sabnis are going to make a fortune–and that’s just with the bubbles. Kids go through 200 million bottles of clear bubble solution every year; 90% of [...]
* Hewing to the stepped-up Vietnam timeline, the Senate voted down a phased-withdrawal from Iraq by a mere 18 votes. We are one media-contorted military victory (ala’ Tet) from Anderson Cooper intoning that the war in Iraq cannot be won (and that this year’s Versace is lacking).

Construction workers deepfry a turkey in the garage of a house they’d just completed.
Things go wrong quickly:
But the fryer’s thermometer was broken, and the oil inside got too hot, the workers said. The kettle started smoking and the lid rattled, as though the peanut oil inside had reached a boil.
Schmerber ran inside the garage [...]
* Another one for the end of Western civilization – Leonard Pitts Jr. writes of a ban in Northern Neck Virginia high schools – on post-game handhakes:
Too many rude comments were made, too many people got spat on, too many fights broke out. So the principals of five schools in the Northern Neck District [...]
