I can’t tell you how happy I am that ABC is showing Boston Legal once again. One of the best shows on tv.
Denny: You left me, Shirley. Women don’t leave Denny Crane. And for a secretary?
Shirley: It was the Secretary of Defense.
Genius.

Patterico states I was over the line condemning Malkin’s post, and he is right. So:
1.) I apologize to you all and Michelle for the tone and tenor, as well as the language.
2.) I want it made clear that I in no way think the racist crap that is heaped upon Malkin is in any way fair, or justified, or deserved. I said I can understand why she gets it, but that in no way excuses the fact that people say those things. Really, some of the stuff that has been said in the comments of that thread sounds like something spewed by Stormfront or other white supremacist groups. Long story short- what I said was unfair to Michelle and stupid.
I still disagree about the relevance of Sheehan’s marital status and record, but there will be a time for that later, and I don’t want this turning into a typical Washington non-apology apology.

All I want is six hours sleep.
Oh- and as predicted, tonight on Hardball, the mother of a dead soldier protesting Cindy Sheehan’s protest. Who will find the first grandfather of a dead soldiers for/against the war to trot out? How about gay children of dead soldiers?
This whole thing is sickening.

I don’t know where it came from, but last week I received a complimentary copy of American Revelations, a book that reviews ten great cornerstones of the American experience and American ideals.
I was pleasantly surprised that this was not, as I had feared, simply another in a series of jingoistic agitprop pieces that show up at my doorstep every 3-4 months, but rather an interesting examination of some of the ideas that made this country what it is. My personal favorite was the section on George C. Marshall and the Marshall Plan, as anything involving WWII immediately catches my eye, but there is something in here for everyone.
Just in case you need somethign to read. Up next for me is Orr Kelly’s Meeting the Fox, about the WWII campaign in Africa.

I just watched Courtney Love on Comedy Central’s Friars Roast of Pamela anderson, and she was a a train wreck.
This Roast was, by far, the filthiest thing I have ever seen on television, and I hope Brent Bozell is in bed.
For that matter, I wish I was in bed, as the insomnia reaches day 5 or 6.
