 More Liberal Weakness. I don't know why I bother to discuss things with Liberals. It really is a waste of time. It ends the same every time. You counter their arguments, they can't defend their original positions, so they call you a weak bastard and ban you.[Dog Snot Diaries]
I learned this a long time ago Geoffery. Fortunately where I work, a liberal is a very rare animal. When I do encounter one I stick strictly to mundane subjects like the sports and weather. Keeps my blood pressure down. (LP)

Telegraph Launches Beebwatch. A most excellent development in Britain; the Telegraph has launched a new feature that seeks to hold the BBC accountable for its outrageously blatant biases against Israel and America -- Beebwatch: Time to watch the BBC bias that costs each of us £116 a year. [little green footballs]
All this talk lately about the bias of the BBC is very mystifying to me. During my shortwave listening days of the 50's to 80's I always heard that the BBC was where you went to hear all the news presented in an unbiased manner. Are there any UK readers who could tell me when the change took place and why did it happen? (LP)

Albert Einstein. "Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking." [Motivational Quotes of the Day]
Wonder if that includes reading weblogs 24 hours a day? (LP)

 Moon and Mars are snuggling tonight. You will be able to see Mars pass behind the moon tonight if you live in China or Siberia.

 Hes back! Poor little guy was taken hostage by terrorists. The terrorists computer went down due to a virus so they couldn't send a ransom email. They had to let him go. I'm going to give him lots of time off to recoup. Who knows what those awful Rags did to him? Welcome back little buddy.

Border Disorders [foxnews.com]
I live in California where the border with Mexico is more porous than a colander in Luciano Pavarotti's (search) kitchen. And on any given night in Texas, a pair of night vision goggles reveals a spectacle resembling the start of the Boston Marathon in ponchos.

Racist Lefties. Davis was only joking.
California Governor Gray Davis admits he took a swipe at Arnold Schwarzenegger's accent, but he says he was "just joking around." At a union rally over the weekend, Davis told a voter "you shouldn't be governor unless you can pronounce the name of the state." Although a Schwarzenegger campaign official called for an apology, the candidate... [Right-Thinking from the Left Coast]
Does this mean I can say 'Ragheads' now as long as I say "just joking around" each time? (LP)

Predators aren't looking for peace [suntimes.com]
That's why America's TV networks have decided to sit out this week's anniversary. On the day itself, it was all too chaotic and unprecedented for the news guys to impose any one of their limited range of templates. For the first anniversary, they were back on top of things and opted to Princess Dianafy the occasion, to make it a day of ersatz grief-mongering, with plenty of tinkly piano on the soundtrack and soft-focus features about ''healing circles.'' That didn't go down too well, so this year they've figured it's easiest just to ignore it. The alternative would be to treat 9/11 as what it was -- an act of war -- and they don't have the stomach for that. War presupposes enemies, and enemies means people you have to kill, or at least stop, or at the very least be ever so teensy-weensily judgmental about. And, in an age when presidents rewrite ''Peter And The Wolf'' to end with Peter apologizing to the wolf, why should the network sob sisters be any tougher?

Spinelessness. The always-entertaining but cerebrally-acerbic Howard Veit says this about agriculture as a weapon [Kim du Toit]
I agree. This country is always too worried about looking like Mr Niceguy to the rest of the world. What has it gotten us. The rest of the world hates us. Nice guys never win, only the guy with the most marbles who keeps them all for himself. I'm embarrased by this country always trying to curry favor by giving everything away. They laugh at us for being so stupid. If we ever get some people in Washington with some brains/guts maybe it can be stopped. Until then the rest of the world will have their hand out and laugh at us as they walk away. Disgusting. (LP)
