OK, OK, Just One More
The Pompous Ass Quote of the Day: IS THE SENATE UNDERMINING IRAQI RECONSTRUCTION? Sure looks like it. If things go badly as a result, I promise to publish the pictures, names -- and home phone numbers, if I can get 'em -- of the Senators voting for this bill. I'll...
Speaking of Glenn Reynolds…
There's been much caterwauling about the negative coverage of "postwar" Iraq, including repeated charges that the media never show the progress being made. Here's your progress: Once the Iraqis at the Baghdad Fire Department's largest station learn English, they'll be...
He’s a Law Professor, You Know

As a supplement to today's article, "Toward a Meaningful Yom Kippur," I'll include these lines from Leonard Cohen: You who build these altars now to sacrifice these children, you must not do it anymore. A scheme is not a vision and you never have been tempted by a...
If Tom Ridge Has Any Extra Duct Tape…
He might consider putting some over Paul Wolfowitz's mouth. Another brilliant gem from the undersecretary: Pressed by House Democrats about whether the administration planned to withdraw U.S. troops right before the 2004 presidential election, Wolfowitz assured them...
Idjits Goes Eurasian
Nebojsa mentioned the US govt's hilariotic idea of sending Mongolian troops to Iraq (below). It's worth mentioning also that a bin Laden message aired worldwide last year compared Powell & Cheney to Hulagu, so sending a token force of Mongols to Iraq will be a...
