Go say Happy Birthday to Mike at Cold Fury.
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:
CalPundit– who gets bonus points for a good post on BBQ
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.
Greatest Fisking Ever
For some reason, every time I need a laugh, I go check out this vintage fisking of Ted Rall. This was written over a year ago by Anne Coughman (of the defunct Protein Wisdom– how we miss you), and it is still, by leaps and bounds, my favorite fisking of all time. Hell- this was the best fisking before we even called it fisking. Here is some of it:
Just because I find his work so remarkably irritating, I’ve “responded” to Ted Rall’s latest offering, “Snappy New Jeer” — another shallow dish of fetid word salad that’s light on the lettuce and heavy on the crumbled cheese. Actually, I suppose I haven’t so much responded to him as I have “reacted” to his bilious twaddle — by way of smarmy rejoinders of my own. Rall’s bunk will be block quoted, whereas mine is free to sniff the margins. You’re welcome to add your own mental observations…
Go read the whole thing.
Paging Will Warren
Will Warren. Please come out of retirement. Pretty please?
Paul Krugman, Professional Pessimist
It seems Paul Krugman’s pessimism knows no boundaries- now he is shitting all over manned space flight. He may be right in that there need to be changes, but does this guy capture the CAN’T attitude of the Democrats, or what? Why does everything have to be so negative- and Paul, how about we get what remains of the bodies in the ground before you unleash this on the families- that in your estimation, they Columbia crew threw their lives away in a failed mission. Cripes.
*** Updated ***
What happened to my spelling and grammar? Ack. I had fifteen mispelled words out of about 40. Impressive. At any rate, compare the attitude of Krugman with Krauthammer’s. Why is Krugman so negative about everything?
6 More Weeks
Looks like six more weeks of winter. The glorified rat saw his shadow.
