So The Editors have left their two cronies, Norbizness and Big Picnic, in charge of The Poor Man’s On-Line Journal of Kitten Pornography this week. And as Colonel Yosef points out in the comments, Norbizness wasted no time starting another kitten skirmish. This is clearly an act of aggression and will be met with brutal retaliation:

…We’d better get on board here. Because even Atrios has retooled.
Actually, SadNo HQ is in Germany, so we can do whatever we want as long as it doesn’t involve goose-stepping around with a finger on one’s upper lip like it was a funny little moustache, and all that sort of thing.
You know, imitating Charlie Chaplin. (cough) But really, it’s the principle of the matter.

Another funny:
It seems racism against black Americans is unacceptable, except when it’s endorsed by the untouchable Mexican government.
As CNN and many others are reporting, Mexican President Vicente Fox’s administration has issued a stamp depicting an exaggerated black cartoon character known as Memin Pinguin.
I looked at the stamp, and yes, it is quite offensive.
But who the hell (other than the people in the Mexican government who produced the stamp) thinks racism is “acceptable” when “endorsed by the untouchable Mexican government?” Predictably, Michelle never tells us, so I consulted the actual article to see what the hell she was talking about:

More from George T., of the Anti-American Rottweiler:
In comparison, our current casualties [in Iraq] are comparable to peacetime, and in total, including accidents in the US (which will be running a little less than a thousand a year), are still lower than 1980’s peacetime fatality rates.
If you want to compare it to drunk driving, our fatality rates are less than drunk driving fatalities in Michigan or Missouri.
Oh, that one again.

Grandpa Roberts no like Joe Biden:
For the last 15 years, Biden has been saying that women, and only women, can suffer from domestic violence.
Try telling that to the three young children of Clayton Carter, who watched in horror as he was run over by his wife with their Ford SUV. This past week Marquetta Jordan pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter in Washington DC.
What an astonishing claim. Or at least, it would be…if it were true. (hey, is ifitweretrue.com available?):
WASHINGTON, D.C. ? Taking the next step in the fight to protect our nation?s children, U.S. Senators Barbara Boxer (D-CA) and Joe Biden (D-DE) today introduced the Violence Against Children Act. This legislation provides a comprehensive approach to combating violent crimes against children by increasing federal criminal penalties for crimes against kids and authorizing federal grants for law enforcement and nonprofit organizations that provide emergency medical treatment and counseling to children. (May 1, 2003.)
Or, you know, that time Sen. Biden said the following 2 years ago:
Protecting the most vulnerable among us ? battered women and their children ? is not only our responsibility it is our moral obligation. This Office is a big part of our efforts to do that, and I am extremely happy that after a bit of arm twisting, the Bush Administration has recognized its importance.
Behold the power of Joe Biden!
When women kill their husbands and ex-boyfriends, the media never use the term, “domestic violence.” That’s because according to Mr. Biden, only men commit DV.
Never heard of Carey Roberts before?
Carey Roberts is an analyst and commentator on political correctness. His best-known work was an expos? on Marxism and radical feminism.
Somehow the idea of Roberts exposing radical feminism reminds us of the old Woody Allen joke about oral contraception: “I asked a girl to sleep with me and she said no.”

Although SZ brilliantly roasted Michelle Malkin this morning, I think her latest column is so kooky that it deserves a second thrashing.
Here’s the gist of it:
The left-wing Kumbaya crowd is quietly grooming a generation of pushovers in the public schools. At a time of war, when young Americans should be educated about this nation’s resilience and steely resolve, educators are indoctrinating students with saccharine-sticky lessons on “non-violent conflict resolution” and “promoting constructive dialogues.”
Because there’s only one way to successfully resolve a conflict, and that’s with overwhelming violence. (And don’t even get me started on so-called “constructive dialogue.” Our president can’t put a simple sentence together, and look how far he’s gotten in life. The only “dialogue” that needs to go on between America and all the non-Americas out there is “My dick. Your mouth. Got it?”)

More of the usual from our pal George T. at the Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler:
There isn’t a “constant stream of casualties in Iraq”. Iraq fatalities are less than the rate of total military deaths under Bill Clinton, which averaged almost a thousand a year, and well below the rates of the 1980’s.
Oh, that one again. They should assign numbers to them, like that old joke about the convicts telling jokes. “Ha ha!” the convict says, “Number 42!” The blockhouse cracks up. “Ooh, ooh!” another one says, “109!” Everyone cracks up. “I got one,” the littlest convict says. “Number 87!” He’s greeted by silence. “What? Number 87! What’s not funny?” An old hand speaks up: “…It’s not the joke, George; it’s how you tell it.”

Well, I’m convinced. I admit I had my doubts at times, but as the man said, we’re winning in Iraq, and it’s a hell of a lot better to be fighting those 9/11 terrorists over there, by spreading democracy in the mideast, than fighting them on US soil. That’ll show the liberal media and the naysayer Democrats.
Thanks, you’ve been very helpful. That’s all I wanted to know.

Because you can never have enough Jim Rutz, here’s his latest column, called “From Basket Case to Boomtown Without a Dime of Aid” (and surprisingly, the title is not a reference to Jim’s mental state):
One of the worst places in the world was Kiambu, Kenya, a suburban district nine miles north of the capital, Nairobi.
“For years, their slogan was ‘Kiambu: We’re Still Better Than Toledo.’”

Well, we’ve got another pointless Bush speech tonight. Don’t bother watching it, I’ll summarize it for you right now:
1.) God told me to promote freedom after Saddam destroyed the World Trade Center.
2.) Democrats are pansies who wanted to let Saddam use nukular weapons on unborn children.
3.) We must stay the course.
4.) Staying the course is hard work.
5.) Just like pulling out early won’t stop pregnancy, pulling out of Iraq won’t stop terrorism.
6.) I think about Iraq every day.
7.) Thinking is hard work.
UPDATE: For a more serious (and thoughtful) prediction, see Digby.
More predictions: The Left Coaster. And of course, The Editors.

Senator Man-on-Dog Sex trashes my home town (via CapitolBuzz):
Priests, like all of us, are affected by culture. When the culture is sick, every element in it becomes infected. While it is no excuse for this scandal, it is no surprise that Boston, a seat of academic, political and cultural liberalism in America, lies at the center of the storm.
So any place that’s cultural, has a lot of colleges, and elects Democrats must be a breeding ground for pedophelia.
Here’s how it works:

At Gavin’s request, I’ve decided to pay more attention to Renew America’s Edward Daley. I’m already regretting it.
Today, Edward makes a “Top 10 List” of the things he’d do if he were president. Since I’m writing a presidential platform of my own, I was hoping Edward’s piece would give me some fresh ideas (so far, my agenda consists of having sex in the Oval Office and forcing the State Department to bake me pies).
Unfortunately, this was all I got:
10 things I’d do if I were the Commander-In-Chief
Edward Daley
If I became the President of the United States tomorrow, the first thing I’d do is hold a press conference, and condemn the actions of the Republican “moderates” who sold out their constituents during the recent filibuster fight in the Senate. I’d call them cowards for not supporting those outstanding judicial nominees who’ve been constantly denigrated by liberals over the past two years, and leave no doubt in anyone’s mind that I was NOT concerned with my party, but with the moral and ethical foundation upon which conservatism is built.
I.e., passing pork-barrel spending bills to please lobbyists, running up record deficits, and using federal tax dollars to push religious dogma.

Donald Rumsfeld, March 29, 2005:
Q Yeah, what do you think about negotiation with the leaders of the insurgency?
SEC. RUMSFELD: Well, I — it’s a definitional issue. The first thing I would say about that, that’s up to the Iraqi people. It’s the Iraqis’ country, and it’s the Iraqis’ government. And they’re going to have to make those judgments.
June 26, 2005:
US officials in Iraq have had talks with leaders of the anti-US insurgency, Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld says.
Lawrence Di Rita, February 22, 2005:
But ultimately, as I said, it’s Iraqis, Iraqi government, that will decide the terms on which any of this happens. Negotiations aren’t for the United States to conduct, and to my knowledge, we’re not conducting negotiations.
June 26, 2005:
Quoting Iraqi sources, the Sunday Times said insurgent commanders “apparently came face to face” with four American officials during the talks held on 3 and 13 June at a summer villa near Balad, about 40 miles (60km) north of Baghdad.

Donald “east, west, south and north somewhat” Rumsfeld speaks:
Defeating the insurgency may take as long as 12 years, he [Rumsfeld] said, with Iraqi security forces, not U.S. and foreign troops, taking the lead and finishing the job. [Emphasis added, passing of responsibiltiy for messes you created in the original
Wait before you call though:
“Insurgencies tend to go on five, six, eight, 10, 12 years,” Rumsfeld said on “Fox News Sunday.”
Apparently, Rumsfeld isn’t using the same calculator as General Myers:
And so, sure, we work on it every day. But I wouldn’t look for results tomorrow. This is a — this — one thing we know about insurgencies is that they last from, you know, three, four years to nine years.

Thomas Friedman, the Art Buchwald of the op-ed page, turns to comedy:
Ah, those French. How silly can they be? The European Union wants to consolidate its integration and France, trying to protect its own 35-hour workweek and other welfare benefits, rejects the E.U. constitution. What a bunch of antiglobalist Gaullist Luddites! Yo, Jacques, what world do you think you’re livin’ in, pal? Get with the program! It’s called Anglo-American capitalism, mon ami.
No, it’s called shut your motherfucking pie hole you annoying piece of excrement. There. It sure is fun poking fun at Thomas Friedman.
The French economic instinct is not one we want to start emulating now, just as the global playing field is being flattened, bringing in more competitors from Poland to China to India. This is a time to play to our strengths of openness, flexibility and willingness to embrace creative destruction, and lead on free trade.
Just as? Except for Tom Friedman, is there any sentient adult over the age of 21 who hasn’t known about a “global playing field” for a couple of decades by now?
