Afghanistan: big doings in the war supposedly "forgotten" by President Bush
Most of the intel is being aggregated and analyzed by a great blog called Internet Anthropologist T.T.. Lots more at American Thinker.
There is a big development in the war in Afghanistan. Here’s the short version:
Pro-war President Bush
I quibble with the leftwingnuts’ characterization of President Bush as “pro-war” anymore than FDR or Lincoln or Washington were “pro-war”. No one likes war, but sometimes its the lesser of two evils. Yeah, the war costs money.
But it is worth any amount of money to finally bring peace to the middle east. I applaud the president for breaking with the “realpolitik” of Kissinger, James K. Baker, Warren Christopher, Brezinski, Donald Rumsfeld during the Ford/Reagan years etc. and others who tolerated and even propped up brutal dictators to keep “order”.
Leftist psycho Randi Rhodes mugs herself – Teddy Salad involvement suspected
Leftist loudmouth Randi Rhodes’ dog, or a right-wing deep cover infiltrator? We report, you decide.
Err Amerika loudmouth Randi Rhodes, who famously advocated assassinating President Bush, was first reported to have been mugged, and of course lefties immediately identified her attacker, just by dint of the fact that any leftist ever attacked must have been assaulted by a right wing wacko:
Britney Spears Temporarily Loses Custody of Her Vagina
Britney Spears’ downward spiral took another devastating turn Monday when the pop princess was ordered to give up custody of her vagina by a judge who had cited her drug-and-alcohol-fueled lifestyle and her hillbilly upbringing as the root causes for her “near total lack of propriety and decency regarding her pee-hole”.
Superior Court Judge Scott M. Gordon ruled that that ex-husband Kevin Federline would take Spears’ 26 year old catcher’s mitt, beginning Wednesday “until further order of the court.”
Angelina Jolie should shut her cute little pie-hole and just look pretty for the camera (preferably nude)
 |
Even though Angelina Jolie has attended countless soirees, charity balls, pageants, parties, fetes and other worthy events to the point where she will soon attain sainthood, she still has not saved the world. And its our fault.
Her selfless clothes-horsing and attending events in her honor have not helped her career, alas. According to the highly reputable OK Mag:
So-called "Disciplined" Hillary! sure does rattle easy
Ho-hum, another Dem debate. So what, right? But there was a slip by Hillary! that is getting some press.
The most instructive part of tonight’s gaffe (some people are calling it that, I’m sure Hillary! didn’t think it was, she’s surely focus grouped and polled this to death, as she does everything including her wardrobe and haircut) in the last 2 minutes of the Dem Debate tonight is how rattled Hillary! gets at being caught out. She doesn’t respond well to Dodd, she wavers, she makes lame arguments, tries to regroup and make a strong point, but fails.

Word Brundishing: the art of running your mouth
Our modern-day internet flame wars had their root back in medieval time, when a Frenchman, defending his village, would hurl the Word of Despise, which is the Grand Double Spise, dripping with contempt and disdain, back at the barbarian chasing him, causing the horde-member to stop in his tracks, nonplussed and bewildered and momentarily disoriented at the sheer power of the Froggie’s verbal thrust, then go back to the Frenchman’s village and rape his wife and children before murdering them and pillaging the town, instead of first chasing the Frenchman into the woods and cutting off his privy parts, gouging out his eyes, disemboweling him and forcing him to eat his own entrails until he died of shock and pain. A small victory, perhaps, but still, a victory, of sorts.
Word-Brundishing, a neologism I have just coined, is a sort of portmanteau of brandishing, bandying and taking umbrage, using words. The French are so adept at it because they are so inept at actual combat. The Gauls, the mirror of the Brits, are renowned for their stupendous defeats instead of their great victories. Waterloo, Agincourt, the Maginot Line, all have entered the lexicon of metaphors for great idiotic blunders and defeats.

Anwyn’s Lost Document
click to embiggen to its full glory
Anwyn of Anwyn’s Notes in the Margin has lost something near and dear to her:
I May Scream
I’m behind on my editing. I’ve finished the red-pen work on the hard copy, but after that I have to do notes and bibliography electronically, in Word documents. I’ve been working feverishly on the notes, working in the morning and thus taking time away from my son (I usually work after he’s in bed, but I procrastinated), and I got it done today.
I’d been using Ctrl-S all along, saving every few pages. I hit Ctrl-S one last time and closed the document. Then I had a cold chill. The document was an attachment from my boss, and I realized I hadn’t saved it as a separate document but was making changes right there in the attachment. Well, no big, Ctrl-S Saves, right?
Yet more Surge-ery success

More good news from Iraq, calculated to disturb and demoralize Democrats and completely wreck their talking points. The Democrat candidates for president are going to have to scramble to reposition themselves with the new reality in Iraq.
Those who tacked furthest to the left – Edwards and Richardson particularly, who left themselves little wiggle room – are going to have to moderate their rhetoric to consider the fact that to promise to remove our troops “as soon as possible” is going to amount to abandoning the field while we’re winning.
