Instapundit quotes the Huffington Post:
What galls even more is how hopelessly naive, and reductive, those of us are who suggest that being the victim of American imperialism somehow exempts one from being corrupt and imperialistic [...]

If you’re not sure how to prounce that (possibly French?) phrase, I looked it up. Its “Free rider”.

I purchased some razor blades coated with PTFE. Curious I Googled it and it turns out it’s the wonder material known by the trade name Teflon- Used in no-stick pans, bearings, electrical insulation and “copkiller” bullets. One interesting detail re: the “copkiller” bullets- teflon is used to protect the gun barrel from the [...]
More crushing of dissent by the left

Well, this sucks.
Ilkka, I hope you get yourself a psuedonym and continue your excellent writing somewhere that the politically-correct academic feminazi blackmailers can’t find you. And if you do, please let your readers in the TJICisphere know.

Schweddy Balls

I’ve had one of those mornings when you just follow links all over the internet till you have no clue where you are. In my travels I came across what is one of my favorite skits ever on SNL. For your amusement:
Pete Schweddy: Well, there are lots of great treats this time of [...]

Apparently Kazakh officials are coming to the US to whine about Sacha Baron Cohen [warning: scary picture] to George Bush:
And now a movie of Borat’s adventures in the US has caused a diplomatic incident.
The opening scene, which shows Borat lustily kissing his sister goodbye and setting off for America in a car pulled by a [...]

From the Economist:
Your life-jacket can be found under your seat, but please do not remove it now. In fact, do not bother to look for it at all. In the event of a landing on water, an unprecedented miracle will have occurred, because in the history of aviation the number of wide-bodied aircraft that have [...]

Russ makes a completely reasonable request.
Manga Studio EX 3.0 looks pretty cool
September 7, 2006 – 11:51 pm
I’m not really a manga fan, but any tool designed for drawing and laying out out pen & ink comics is probably worth looking into.
In related news, my copy of Painter IX has mysteriously stopped working, and re-installing doesn’t solve the problem. I’ve got a game of musical hard drives coming up soon, so I [...]
If I’m not going to do it, I may as well read about it

Scott McCloud’s got a new book out.
TV news: by and for idiots, apparently

I was poking around James Hudnall’s blog and came across his post The Censorship Factor. While I agree with James about O’Reilly’s ego (and, after a brief look around his blog, probably everything else), this Olbermann guy (whom I’d never heard of) comes off as just as much of a jerk as O’Reilly does, but [...]
A message to democratic strategists
September 7, 2006 – 10:46 pm
I’ve been reading a lot lately that Democrat politicians are saying that Republican politicians are “using” terrorism to scare Americans into voting for them - a radical departure from the tried and true Democratic methods of buying votes with taxpayer money and encouraging the deceased to make it to the polls on election day.
Message to [...]
