Andrea Harris snarks all over some syrupy dimwit. A good read. Well done, Ms. Harris.
Uthant is up to their
Uthant is up to their usual antics- making me laugh uncontrollably:
Greta Van Susteren has always been a beacon of hope to ugly women. To every hag with a crooked mouth, broomstick hair, drooping eyes, or a grating, horselike voice, her presence has long proclaimed: “It doesn’t matter how heinous you are. You can still get a show on CNN.”
No more.
Now Greta Van Susteren is on FoxNews. And twenty-eight. And Asian.
Will Warren is back at
Will Warren is back at with two new gems on Unremitting Verse. The first, titled Action Men, notes the celebration regarding the return of masculinity:
Was there really a time when the prevalent clime
Shied from maleness in most of its facets?
When the boldest of lads were suspected as cads,
Were considered as plagues and not assets?
The second offering looks at Campaign Finance Reform:
When Congress gives evil “soft money” the ax,
Political money will flow more to PACs.
Reformers of old said that PACs were all bad,
So why will they now make them prosper like mad?
A decade ago, “PACs” meant businesses big;
“Soft money” is now the main corporate gig.
It seems that the point isn’t softness or PAC,
But making big businesses sit in the back.
To reformers, “corruption” just means that they see
Some political acts with which they disagree.
Go read them both.

If you are wondering why there are not more posts here, it is because three times today I wrote posts, only to have blogger die before they were posted. I will be writing in Word from now on and cutting and pasting.
Until I get a new provider.

David Janes points some possible problems with Canadian military funding.
In a somewhat related story, Instapundit has found a site run by a fellow working security at the Olympics. He has this is as his favorite quote of the games:
A Canadian skater kept approaching the stairs up to the ice, only to be told that, for security purposes, we had to stop everyone, even if we knew them:
“I’m not a security threat: I’m Canadian”
