Charlotte Church gains in the comparison.

I never thought I’d respect “chav” goddette Char Church, but this performance of one of my fav MJ songs with Amy Winehouse is banal but at least in key and with the correct lyrics, in contrast to Winehouse stuttering and posing instead of actually singing.
Sure, Church is saccharine, boring and mediocre, but Winehouse insults the audience with this shambolic stumbling mumbling drugged out heroin un-chic performance. How did this slag ever get a contract, and why is she the hot flavor of the month?
a. Atrios is stupid b. Atrios is an asshole c. Atrios is a stupid asshole.
Atrios is a whiny ass titty baby.
Atrios (you’ll have to google it, I forgot to link) delivers the news flash that Iraq, 4 years in, has not yet mastered a corruption-proof democracy
Surge is working, part V
Things are looking up in Iraq. Its not a done deal, things could deteriorate between the factions, but as far as the foreign interference, there are now claims that Al Qaeda is defeated there and won’t be making a comeback. Some really informative stuff here:
Democrat candidates agree to piss off Florida & Michigan
This is beyond retarded asskissing. A smart 2nd or 3rd tier Dem candidate would tell Maddog Dean to take a flying fuck at a rolling donut and campaign like mad in Florida and Michigan.
Republican candidates should appear in both states early and often, plus run commercials pointing up the fact that the Democrats don’t want their vote to count.
Myths of Beauchamp live on.

TNR is seizing on one detail in the Beauchamp documents released by Drudge: Beauchamp never does recant the stories. He just says he won’t say anything either way, defending nor denying them. TNR and Foer is using this as justification to further criticize the Military as the bad-guy stone-walling.
They point out there were military personnel in the room with Beauchamp during the phone call, insinuating he was under duress. So the upshot is, we don’t know what Beauchamp’s present stance is on the veracity of the stories. TNR won’t back away from the stories for several reasons that come to mind: they’ve been burnt by the Steven Glass story and others wrecking their credibility, they don’t want another.
Surge is working, much to the Dems dismay

Liberals are putting their fingers in their ears and going LALALALALALA whenever its brought up, but the but the surge in Iraq is working.
Earth’s destruction traced to apocalyptic concert

Scientists from the Alpha Centauri planetary system have finished an analysis of widely scattered debris after the implosion of planet A09 D435 D098G LK-897890, known to the erstwhile inhabitants as “Earth” in the language of the most cultured and intelligent of the native species.
John Kerry’s Rapid Response Team has the goods SBVT, vows to be ready for 2012 elections.
How’s that for a fast reaction and “winning the news cycle?”
A mere 3 years after the election, John Kerry’s team has put together a bale of evidence, that were it not for his total non-involvement in the ’08 Presidential election, would set forth a string of events, that if not unrelated, would surely land him in the Oval Office.
If only it had been a Time Machine instead of a Right Wing Smear Machine they used on him! Try rubbing the magic hat, John. Or borrow Mugabe’s Magic Staff (wink wink).
