The Instapundit’s description of the 60 Minutes piece on ballistic fingerprinting is 100% accurate. My response was much less polite, and much more straightforward, and it involved an f-word.

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?

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.

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.
