MommaBare sent me an email (sorry I missed it at first, but you somehow got caught by my newly installed junk mail filter) stating that copies of the Daniel Pearl execution video might be up for bids to the highest bidder.

As disgusting as that may seem, the truth is probably worse. I doubt anyone will have to pay for it. Those scummy Islamo-fascist jew-haters will probably give out copies for free to the mosques and madrassas where they train the parasites. Islam, the Peaceful Religion.

Fritz Hollings appears to have lost his mind. I saw him ranting and raving at some press conference yesterday (the topic of which escapes me- I was in a robitussin and fever induced haze), but unless I was hallucinating from the meds, he was accusing Bush of causing the September 11th attacks through off-shore bank deregulation or something or other. Larry Lindsey was targeted for some of Senator Hollings bile as well. If anyone has a copy of that conference, or knows what the HELL was going on, please email me. Mr. Hollings seems to fancy himself as the Senate’s Oliver Stone.

William Quick has some comments on this.

Seems like I have missed a lot in the last few days when I was brought to my knees by some awful flu. A quick recap, and then on to some original posts:

A.) Lileks is a genius, but you already knew that if you have come here before. I love Mr. Lileks, and this takedown of some jackass Eurotrash writer is one of the most linked things in the history of the web. It is a must-read.

B.) Ken Layne is a genius, and should be the new editor of Slate. This point-by-point factual evisceration of the scummy recording industry is simply more proof of the obvious need for him to be a top editor of something.

BTW- Thanks for all the get well e-mails.

I feel like death warmed over. Do not expect a lot of postings today. Apparently there are two forms of the flu ravaging my campus- the first is the chest cold sinus one, the other involves vomiting and other unpleasantness involving a different orifice.

I have both.
