They Might Be Giants
And he might be president.
Listen to the bullet-head and the madness that he’s saying.

Good Question
Richard Miniter asks, “Would the Times have hired former Nazi officers to cover the three-year insurgency against the American presence in Germany in the late 1940s?”
Condell on Fitna
That equal-opportunity offender of religions, Pat Condell, sinks his choppers into the world’s most dangerous religion and the reaction to Fitna.
Can’t say as I find much to disagree with in this one.
What American Surrender Sounds Like
While following this story I hit a link to the last message broadcast before the surrender at Corregidor. Chilling.
Today LiveLeak is my favorite website
How sad it was when, under threat of violence from Islamic jihadists, they took down Fitna.
Well, today LiveLeak has shown that, unlike most of the dhimmi media, it has a backbone.
On the 28th of March LiveLeak.com was left with no other choice but to remove the film “fitna” from our servers following serious threats to our staff and their families. Since that time we have worked constantly on upgrading all security measures thus offering better protection for our staff and families. With these measures in place we have decided to once more make this video live on our site. We will not be pressured into censoring material which is legal and within our rules. We apologise for the removal and the delay in getting it back, but when you run a website you don’t consider that some people would be insecure enough to threaten our lives simply because they do not like the content of a video we neither produced nor endorsed but merely hosted.
Three cheers for LiveLeak!
This Just In
Hillary’s old boss says he fired her -
“Because she was a liar,” Zeifman said in an interview last week. “She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.”
Well, I’m crushed. Why didn’t he speak up before? All this time I thought I could trust Hillary. Now, for the first time, there is doubt.
Excuse me. I have to go look at my cattle futures portfolio.

Why would anybody work for Pizza Hut?
Pizza delivery drivers shouldn’t have to give up their right to self defense to have a job. Pizza Hut should be ashamed of this.

The Dying of the Light
The other day someone at work posted this link.
I couldn’t take it. I replied:
I know others are thinking it. I’ll be the one to say it.
This is one of the silliest things I’ve ever seen come down the pike, a
triumph of symbolism over substance.Balderdash. Poppycock. Flapdoodle.
OK, flame away. I can take it. The people with the hard job are the
guys at the Onion who have to try to come up with something funnier.
I mean, really. People who still try to blame Katrina on “global warming” are just beyond clueless.
Today I see that Samizdata did it better.

Hidden Mickey?
Disney fans claim that there are Hidden Mickeys in the animated films. Well, they aren’t all in the cartoons.
Big News
As Michael Ledeen points out, even if it’s only half true it’s the story of the year.
America is sitting on top of an oil field with an estimated 200 billion barrels of oil. If we can exploit that it’s a win-win: We get energy independence and stop sending money overseas to our enemies, and the worldwide price of oil drops, further denying our enemies funding.
I suppose the usual suspects will oppose it, of course.
Fitna
Geert Wilders’ film, Fitna, is available here.
If using Islam’s own words and actions is intolerant, then this is intolerance. This is a must-see, but know that there are some disturbing images. But the images aren’t half as disturbing as Jihad is.
Wilders is a brave man.
Update:
LiveLeak has taken the video down due to (cue rimshot!) death threats. You know, from the Religion of Peace. I wish I had downloaded it instead of just watching. There need to be lots of copies to keep uploading to YouTube. As of this writing there still is one there, but it’s not showing the option to download. Watch it soon.
Further Update:
Follow the link from the above update, and you’ll see that Charles has added an update with a link and instructions on how to download the film. I now have it on two separate computers. Download and spread it!

Hillary’s Millions
People are rightly giving Hillary the business for this whopper:
“I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base.”
Thoroughly spanked by CBS, she whines this lame defense:
“You know, I think that, a minor blip, you know, if I said something that, you know, I say a lot of things—millions of words a day—so if I misspoke, that was just a misstatement.”
Millions, Hillary? Let’s assume a fast talker who uses mostly monosyllabic words. Someone like that could say maybe 3 words per second. That’s 10,800 words per hour. Or 259,200 in a 24-hour day. I just don’t think she’s going to manage the nearly 12 words per second it would take to reach even one million.
What a math whiz.
I know! Let’s put her in charge of health care!
Update:
Perhaps I was hasty. (mature audiences only)
Another Update:
Malkin has artwork.

Reason Number One to Vote for McCain
I’m not a fan of McCain in general, but I like this McCain a lot.
Coming Soon
Soon, of course, doesn’t mean this year. But the fact that human trials have happened once is encouraging.
