It is now duly noted, albeit belatedly, that Jim Henley’s Unqualified Offerings should have been included in my list of re-designed web sites. And, to his credit, he has kept the narrow margins that NRO foolishly walked away from. Bravo!

I did not mean to scare you with the Sgt. Schultz revelation, either, Jim. I assure you that I am not Stephanie DuPont.

Just a thought- It sure was nice that on this anniversary of Watergate, which was a veritable orgy for nostalgic lefty reporters on virtually every news channel, that not once did I have to hear the nasal intonations of the now established liar and former shameless mistress of LBJ, Doris Kearns Goodwin.

It is the little things in life…..

I am not sure why this surprises or upsets anyone:

Israeli moves to erect security fences and protective walls have enraged Palestinians who call it another form of collective punishment. Analysts say unilateral separation may be unrealistic and harmful to peace efforts.

We have been using fences for years in West Virginia to keep animals out of areas we don’t want them (or conversely, in areas we do want them).

Update: Jay Zilber has it right.

One more reason to hate the French: (via Andrew Sullivan)

The European Union has decided to place the Aksa Martyrs Brigades and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestinian on its terror blacklist, but not Hizbullah, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon told the cabinet yesterday.

The inclusion of the two terror organizations is “very significant,” he said, but added that, until Hizbullah is added to the list, “the job is not done.”

The EU has not made a formal announcement regarding widening its blacklist, but according to Israeli diplomatic officials, the European Commission has recommended the inclusion of the Aksa Martyrs Brigades and the PFLP.

A formal announcement on widening the list, first reported in The Jerusalem Post last week, is expected either today or tomorrow at a meeting of the EU foreign ministers in Brussels.

A senior Israeli diplomatic official said that France has been opposed to including Hizbullah on the list, saying it is a political party and declaring it a terror organization could be a destabilizing factor in Lebanon.
