Blogging will be light this weekend, as the crappy V2 Premier PC we bought from ShopNBC is targeted for the tax donation taxidermy to make way for a real, nuclear-powered, a$$-kickin’ Dell XPS. In the meantime…
While Barbaro continues his amazing recovery from a near-fatal breakdown at Pimlico, people are starting to ask questions similar to those this humble blogger raised last weekend.
The Senate finally passes an immigration reform bill; now it’s on to a House-Senate committee to work out a compromise. Fortunately, House Republicans aren’t in a compromising mood, and I can’t blame them, as things are really getting crazy down on the border. How crazy, you ask? Check this post by Red State’s Paul Cella, then compare it with this AP story. Jeesh… and some people think our president is an idiot…
Iran’s president Mahmood Ahmadinejad writes a personal letter to the President of the United States at a time when tensions between his country and the Western world are escalating over Iran’s nuclear ambitions in a region whose stability and natural resources are critical to the global economy. Important, right? Well, Hugh Hewitt is wondering why all you hear are crickets chirping from the Bush Administration and the mainstream media. Hugh’s post includes this Moby link to a full translation and a number of others that show why the U.S. should be paying attention. I echo the sentiments contained in Hugh’s post – everyone should take 10-15 minutes and read Ahmadinejad’s letter in its entirety, noting especially the significance of his closing (also linked in Hugh’s post). Please check it out – then you, too may be wondering why Ahmadinejad’s letter has gotten such short shrift by those whom you would think would have the most interest.
Over at NRO, Cathy Seipp takes the gloves off and gives a much-deserved a$$-whupping to ultraleft moonbat-fave Cindy Sheehan and her new book. Couldn’t have said it better myself.
PC World has a list of the 25 worst tech innovations of all time. Glad to see AOL holding firm at #1.
Congrats to Dollar Bill for his designation as Tuneflow’s “Artist of the Day”. Good choice, Tuneflow – $ rocks!
Have a safe and enjoyable holiday weekend, everyone!
I can’t get behind a conspiracy in that race. I don’t think anyone took any extraordinary chances.

Pretty stupid, eh Rob? I thought it was crazy that people even try to pick stuff out like that. Let’s see, Jimmy Hoffa, JFK, Apollo 11, and…Barbaro! We should plan a combined “favorite conspiracy theory” post one of these days!
