Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
The NY Times discusses the dominance of cats on the web.
Probably the easiest way to get a thousand bloggers to link to a Times story is to talk about cats on the web.
Or call bloggers salivating morons. Either way.
Speaking of cats on the web, don’t forget this week’s Ark. Alas, no dinosaurs.
You don’t see this every day- you commenters are getting featured in Slate for coments made here:
In a response to a post that supports the decision on moderate blog Balloon Juice, commenter SomeCallMeTim snarks: “We were always going to declare victory and go home, regardless of the facts on the ground. The only question was whether we’d leave Iraq in the midst of a civil war or under the thumb of a Saddam-lite. I admit that I hadn’t considered that we make it a client state of Iran.”
Pretty funny, actually.
I am cursed- when I see headlines like this on Drudge, I can’t resist:
Woman sues Denny’s over toilet burns
Why? Because, for the life of me, I could not figure out how one gets burned on a toilet. Was it a gas buildup in the plumbing, and the victim lit a cigarette?
Was the plumbing hooked up wrong, and it was steaming hot water piped in, rather than cold water (the hot water in a building I once worked in could scald you)?
How do you get burned on a toilet? This is how:
A Kansas woman has filed a lawsuit seeking damages for severe burns on her rear end caused by chemicals used to clean a toilet at a Denny’s Restaurant.
Charmaine Yoest doesn’t like ABC’s new show Commander In Chief.
And I mean, she really doesn’t like it, because she hates it before the first episode.
I think we have talked about this before, but in case we haven’t, I would just like to express my firm belief that Turkey Hill Choco Mint Chip is the greatest ice cream on the planet.
Here are some quick links of things I have read today:

Hugh Hewitt notes I sometimes ‘kick him like a flat tire in the rain.’ Only when I think you are wrong, Hugh, and only because you are better than the rest of the radio voices out there on the right, and I expect more.
Der Commisar provides about the only possible humorous angle regarding Hanoi Jane’s recently announced Crisco tour/protest.
