Question for Cat Owners
My cat is fascinated by water. Every time I turn on a faucet, take a shower, or flush the toilet, he comes running- he especially loves watching water drain. I am now effectively wife-trained with the toilet, as I have to put the lid down when I am finished- otherwise he splashes around in it. Is this normal?
They Are Human
Every time the left gets so worked up into a fevered pitch about something that I just can not take it anymore and want to dehumanize them (by doing things like collectively calling a group of different individuals ‘the left’), I find out things like this- most of the lefties on my blogroll like the show ’24.’ I love it. Check it out:

and Jesse.
Who would have thunk it? Except they are wrong about the best plot twist- which is that the younger Warner sister is the enemy agent.
Who Needs Em?
The line that is now going around Washington is that of a former undersecretary of defence, who observed, “Going to war without the French is like going deerhunting without an accordion.”
This, and more, from the latest David Warren (via RealPolitik).
The Illiterate Literati
Joe Conason proves he does not understand the UN Resolution. This statement says it all:
Colin Powell showed that Saddam Hussein is resisting disarming. But he didn’t prove that he’s an immediate threat.
Talk amongst yourselves.
New UN Resolution
Scrappleface highlights the new UN Resolution authorizing force in certain circumstances:
–Saddam Hussein is photographed sitting astride a plutonium tipped ICBM with the words “To Russia, with Love” painted on it.
–Iraqi military officers are photographed launching a ship laden with clearly marked canisters of Sarin or VX. The bow of the ship must bear the words “Slow boat to China”
–Photographs prove that Iraqi SCUD missiles, bearing biochemical agents and emblazoned with the words “The French Connection,” are about to be launched.
Go read it all.
Goodbye, Saddam
When the anti-war (at all costs) movement and Saddam have lost the entire WaPo editorial board, including Mary McGrory (“I’m Persuaded“), your time is limited.
When you have lost the NY Times editorial board, it is time for Hussein to start thinking about exile. Or, as Matt Yglesias puts it:
As America’s slow-motion rush to war appears to be reaching it’s final steps, the Times editorial board shows up, limping about one step behind.
