Things And More Things
1. Rahul Mahajan has a depressing radio commentary about Iraq.
2. Imad Khadduri, the former Iraqi nuclear physicist, is always worth a visit.
3. Eric Carlson of New Revolution calculates that the cost of the Iraq war to date equals the annual GDP of the world's 65 poorest countries.
4. Bob Harris has finally come clean and admitted his jealousy of my left buttock.
I can certainly understand the bitter disappointment that Bobâ€â€and so many othersâ€â€feel as my left buttock triumphs over and over again. Nevertheless, he at least can console himself with his site being the #1 Google search result for "rocket-fueled breasts"; "giant demon bunny"; "blurred squirrel"; "jazz hyrax"; "Team Chimpy"; "fish and wildlife hate America"; and "pudublogging."
5. You've probably see this already... but if not, here's some good advice on howâ€â€when the Elder Gods comeâ€â€you can be among the first to be eaten. (Via Scratchings; hail Eris.)
6. Awwwwwww.
