Just saw 30 minutes of “What Women Want.” It is the movie equivalent of Barney the Dinosaur- cute concept, but painfully awful after ten minutes of exposure.

Ann Coulter, goddesspundit, on the detainees at Camp X-Ray:
We are at war with al Qaeda. The 158 Guantanamo detainees come from at least 25 different countries. To pretend that the Taliban is bound by a convention signed by an earlier Afghan government because the al-Qaida fighters happened to be captured in Afghanistan would be like trying to collect a bill from a corporation that bought your debtor’s house, razed it, and happened to occupy the same property 20 years later.

In World War II, the Japanese tortured and killed American prisoners of war. In the Vietnam War, the North Vietnamese tortured American prisoners of war. In the Gulf War, Iraq tortured U.S. prisoners of war – including a female officer who was sexually assaulted by her captors.
So this Geneva Convention thing isn’t really working out for us.

A webring for self-help groups to get over blog addiction.
Which reminds me of George Carlin, who recently commented that self-help books just aren’t self-help. They are help.

Once more just because it was so good the first time around. This is the first editorial I can ever remember my father liking so much he pointed it out to me. Leonard Pitts on September 12th.
Much thanks to our friend on the left, Ted Barlow, for pointing that out again, who saw it again on the Kaus Files.

Sgt. Stryker points out the fear-mongering of our ‘International Aid Agencies.’ Can’t we find some decent, honorable do-gooders?
Can’t seem to get the links function to work on his new site, so scroll through and you should be able to find it. Right now it is the first post you will run into.

Doh!. Found another site I thought had perma-linked weeks ago. I present Eve Kayden at Quare. She is also soliciting advice on a new slogan.
I suggest: Dysfunction Junction
Not because of her writing, but becaue of Quare.
