Looking a bit wonky

If things in the sidebar are a bit wonky, particularly in Firefox, I’m working on it. Typepad did some upgrades, and something is going weird with using pictures that I have stored in Typepad and giving them links.

I almost like these guys

No, really, you gotta admire their targets

Three nearly simultaneous blasts rocked downtown Pristina in Kosovo late Saturday, one of them targeting the United Nations mission headquarters, officials said. No injuries were reported.

The two other blasts went off near a Kosovo government building and a building housing the offices of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, or OSCE.

They are doing what we should be doing. Targeting the UN. Meanwhile, CNN loses sight of reality:

It was not immediately clear what caused the explosions. An investigation was launched and the area was sealed off.

Gee, might that be explosives? Morons.

By the way, does anyone know what Clinton’s exit strategy is for Kosovo? We’ve been their quite some time, and this sure looks like a quagmire to me.

Koozie or Coolie?

Now this is serious news. Forget everything else:

In federal court in Raleigh, a legal battle is afoot over the proper name for the insulated foam holder that has cradled a million cans.

Robert and Julie Liddle of Raleigh run Kustom Koozies, a home-based Internet company that sells the beverage sleeves personalized to commemorate family reunions, bachelor parties, even weddings.

But an Indiana company, Norwood Promotional Products, says the Liddles have no right to use the word "koozie." Norwood says it has trademarked the word and demands that the Liddles call their products, company and Web site something else. They suggest "beer hugger," "huggie," "can cooler" or "coolie."

Ecu_cooliecup Just for reference, on my ship, they are call "huggers." Same at East Carolina U.

Patriotic Weekend

In honor of the 4th, I will, Typepad willing (they are doing upgrades this weekend), try and post at least one patriotic picture each day. I will even post one for JulieB and the other fine ladies later today.

A Villainous Snarking Of J. Rockafeller

One of my favorite writers, Cassandra from Villainous Company, has a wonderful post about Liberals rewriting history. I love this part regarding Jay Rockafeller, which is from his own website:

There has been some debate over how "imminent" a threat Iraq poses. I do believe that Iraq poses an imminent threat, but I also believe that after September 11, that question is increasingly outdated.

Notice the date of the document from Jay’s site: 10/10/2002. As Cass mentions, this is how meme’s get started. The Left would like to blame this on GWB, but what GWB said in the 2003 SOTU was:

Some have said we must not act until the threat is imminent. Since when have terrorists and tyrants announced their intentions, politely putting us on notice before they strike? If this threat is permitted to fully and suddenly emerge, all actions, all words, and all recriminations would come too late. Trusting in the sanity and restraint of Saddam Hussein is not a strategy, and it is not an option. (Applause.)

EVERYONE said that Saddam had WMD. I won’t repeat what they have said, it has been done to death. We all have seen it, yet the Left ignores it. If it was said before 2001, it doesn’t matter to them, because then you are just "bringing up the Clinton card." If it was said from 2001 on, then it is Bush "misleading and lying." I just have to wonder: if all these world leaders and US Congress Critters are so easily misled, then should they be in their positions?

I can tell you one thing. Saddam isn’t in a position to become an imminent threat. No longer will he be able to support numerous ME terrorist organizations, such as Hammas and Hezbollah. No longer will he be able to use WMD, such as he did against his own people and against Iran. No longer will he be able to invade other countries. No longer will he be able to pursue WMD programs, which he was doing, as confirmed by even the UN. Nor will he be able torture, maim, and kill his citizens.

Time gave it up

Breaking ranks with The New York Times, Time magazine said Thursday it would comply with a court order to hand over the notes of a reporter threatened with jail for refusing to cooperate with an investigation into the unmasking of a CIA operative.

Smart move by Time to give this information up (via Fox). Protecting one’s sources is one thing. Protecting a source that has violated Federal law is another.

Who will the source be? Will we ever know? But, don’t you think that if this was a source that would be damaging to President Bush, someone would have released it already? I do.

How’s that Ohio thing going?

No, seriously, found any Republican fraud yet? No? Wow. How about proof of GOP fraud anywhere else? Just innuendo and moonbattery? Damn.

Meanwhile, Powerline leads us to this (how about another Gateway Pundit link. And no, I didn’t do it on purpose. Gateway is on fire) to bad Democrats:

A federal jury on Wednesday found five East St. Louis Democrats guilty of vote fraud.

The defendants were found guilty on all counts following a four-week trial in U.S. District Court in East St. Louis.

Four of the defendants — Jessie Lewis, Sheila Thomas, Yvette Johnson and former city official Kelvin Ellis — were found guilty of conspiracy to commit election fraud and election fraud.

Democratic Party boss and former City Councilman Charlie Powell was found guilty of one county of conspiracy to commit election fraud.

The five were charged with paying voters up to $10 a vote to vote for Democratic candidates during the Nov. 2 general election.

Can any Dem top that?
