Huff N’ Puff
The Huffington Post has been active all of two days and already people of all stripes are tearing it a new one. (Internal spats are also turning up in spades) Jeff Harrell is the most recent to join the crowd,…

On Bumper Stickers, Hell And Mass Media Depictions Thereof
Lileks is on a roll today. First, on the subject of obnoxious bumper stickers: I have no bumperstickers, for the same reason I do not paste editorials with which I agree on the seat of my pants. I’m always fascinated…
Dang It, Brad!
First, I find out that your wedding is scheduled for the weekend that U2 is in town, then I find out that I’m going to have to miss Wendy’s free Frosty weekend! Hey, maybe that’s what we can do on…
The ‘Dent Went Down To Georgia
U.S. President tours (former Soviet satellite, not U.S. state) Georgia, gets jiggy, errm, wiggly, stays out past 10pm. Press corps reels in surprise, can’t resist mild snarking. Details at 11. UPDATE: Gateway Pundit has the video of “the wiggly”.

Anti-Blonde Bigotry
The trailer for The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is out and it looks great. We’ll see how faithful to the book it stays, but the visual effects look incredible. One minor nitpick: why has yet another production crew…
A Mild Electoral Spanking
Looks like Limbaugh (and yours truly) were a bit quick in making judgements in re: yesterday’s UK elections. Blair’s New Labour party ended up retaining its majority, albeit a significantly reduced one. Blair’s successor is waiting in the wings and…
What A Flaming Jerk.
It seems as though the “gentleman” who recently discovered a fingertip in his frozen custard refused to give the tip back to its rightful owner. Had he done so, doctors could have reattached it. This chucklehead (one “Clarence Stowers”) decided…
