NY Times: Are they just lazy?

Our good friend Keith Taylor is guest blogging for Dean Esmay, and he's on fire! He takes on the NY Times here. Granted, taking on the NY Times these days isn't the most difficult task, but scroll down to the three photos he posts. They're worth it.

Mass Graves Uncovered in Iraq

Horrible. The rest of the article reveals even worse. It is to our everlasting shame that we didn't finish this war the first time around. NY Times:

Investigators have discovered several mass graves in southern Iraq that are believed to contain the bodies of people killed by Saddam Hussein's government, including one estimated to hold 5,000 bodies, Iraqi officials say.

The graves, discovered over the past three months, have not yet been dug up because of the risks posed by the continuing insurgency and the lack of qualified forensic workers, said Bakhtiar Amin, Iraq's interim human rights minister. But initial excavations have substantiated the accounts of witnesses to a number of massacres. If the estimated body counts prove correct, the new graves would be among the largest in the grim tally of mass killings that have gradually come to light since the fall of Mr. Hussein's government two years ago. At least 290 grave sites containing the remains of some 300,000 people have been found since the American invasion two years ago, Iraqi officials say.

Hat tip: Seeker.

I Am a Digital McCarthyite! (Updated)

First it was the vast right wing conspiracy. Then it was digital brownshirts. Now it's the digital McCarthyites. Well, sign me up folks. I'm a digital McCarthyite. From Mary Mapes new book:

“Conservative bloggers are part of the story. They have vilified me, mounted a “wilding” attack against me…we were, it seemed the first victims of a new kind of digital McCarthyism, which uses the same techniques as the old McCarthyism–rumors, slurs, false charges and ugly attacks–but now employs the Internet, talk radio and cable TV echo chamber to ricochet information around the world
The Anchoress has more via Instapundit.

Thoughts Online notes that the connotative usage of 'wilding' refers to the 1989 Central Park Jogger incident. Thus, Mapes equates right-wing bloggers with a pack of rapists and paints herself a sexual assault victim. Classy.

Prepare for the swarm Ms. Mapes.

Any other volunteers for the Digital McCarthyites? Any one have a better logo they can think of?

UPDATE: Tom over at Scared Monkeys Digial McCarthyite designed this logo. Awesome! Feel free to download the image here.

Goldfalcon comes up with his own McCarthy photoshop (it helps if you know something about old movies).

Other Digital McCarthyites (like a gang 'wilding' Ms. Mapes in an online Central Park): Charles Johnson, Bill Quick, Mean Mr. Mustard, Ace, Cream and Bastards, Scared Monkeys, INDCent Bill, Vince Aut Morire, Scared Monkeys, Beth at My VRWC, Dread Pundit Bluto, Musing Minds, NIF, The Right Nation, The Nose on Your Face, and a whole gang of others...

INDCent Bill admits to what we've always known,

he's into Lllama orgling!

So I tried to listen to Jeff Goldstein of Protein Wisdom and Bill Ardolino of INDC's radio show yesterday. They did this interview of another blogger who I'm sort of fond of, Ace of Ace of Spades Headquarters. The problem is that Right Talk Radio won't replay the interview!

Ace, Bill, and Jeff might think it was the frequent homoerotic jokes or maybe it was the occasional f-bomb dropped, but I have a different theory. Bill mentions the very forbidden kink of Llama orgling. Listen carefully. Near the beginning. It's there. Nuff said.

Anyway, thanks to the good folks over at The Daily Recycler you can now listen to the now banned stream here or here.

Star Wars: Porn Version

Stephen Green muses on the news that Star Wars is set to get a PG-13 rating. But might I suggest that a nude and tattood Bai Ling also might play some role in that rating.

Making Holy the Unholy

Dr. Zen doesn't quite get the Bonfire of the Vanities. It's the less than serious side of the blogosphere's chance to showcase not their best, but their worst post of the previous week.

My frequently crappy posts are a staple of the bonfire.

You may know Laurence Simon from his frequent comments (usually defending some stupid cat or another) and the occasional link from us, but his Is Full of Crap site steps up to the take on the fine tradition that is the Bonfire. I kiss the papal ring of Avignon!

UPDATE: Carpe Bonum has an interesting take too.

Dolphin + Whale = Wholphin

That's right wholphin. From the Island of Doctor Moreau, you know Hawaii, this news that some corporate jackass with nothing better to do decided to force a whale and a dolphin to hump. Well, maybe force isn't the right word. I hear some dolphins like the big whale c*ck. They were just born that way!

I knew gay marriage would lead to this.

And for all you wholphin porn fans, here's a pic (scroll down). Apparently Dr. Moreau did this thing ten years ago too. Only they spelled it wolphin back in the day. You know, so as not to offend any one.

UPDATE: Llama Butchers find evidence of widespread dolphin/human breeding. Could Douglas Adams be right? Are aliens dolphins? more...

Iran Pulls Troops out of Lebanon

Interesting article. But the more important question is will Iran stop funding armed militias and terrorists in Lebanon? WaPo:

Iran has pulled out the vast majority of its Revolutionary Guards in Lebanon after two decades as a major player among the country's Shiite population, most notably as the impetus for the creation of Hezbollah, according to U.S. and European officials.

At one point, Iran was estimated to have as many as 2,000 of its elite troops inside Lebanon. But today Tehran is reported to have from 12 to 50 military personnel in the country -- and probably on the lower end of that range, the officials said.

Hat tip Rev. Jim Sutter.

The Left Is Just Dying to Believe the Terrorists

The Dread Pundit Bluto e-mails with some information he received from a friend of his serving at the Camp Bucca prison, Iraq. Follow the post carefully.

a) Terrorists post propaganda messages to Islamist forums.
b) Terrorist sympathizers translate the messages into English.
c) Translations are posted by 'alternative media' as fact.
d) Leftists revel in the propaganda and spread them as fact.
e) Gullible Europeans and college students believe the worst about America and our efforts in Iraq.

Iranian Troops Arrested in Iraq

Not surprising. The caveat on this is that the source is the Iranian opposition. Iran Focus:

More than 30 armed agents dispatched from Iran were arrested in the eastern Iraqi province of Diyala, according to sources close to the Iranian opposition PeopleÂ’s Mojahedin.

Sources said that the 30 agents were mercenaries of the elite Qods (Jerusalem) Force branch of IranÂ’s Revolutionary Guards Corps.

Thanks to OpiniPundit for the e-mail. He has more here.

Karbala Car Bombing Mastermind Captured

It should surprise no one that the Karbala bombing, which killed over a hundred Shias, was an al Qaeda operation. Kuna:

A member of the Abu Musaab Al-Zarqawi group was apprehended by Iraqi security forces in the southern city of Karbala, police chief in the holy city Abbas Al-Husseini said.

Al-Husseini said in a press statement policemen in Karbala arrested Hamed Obeis, an Iraqi national who masterminded the killing of some foreigners and a number of policemen in southern Iraq.

Obeis, he added, was also behind a number of car bombs in and outside Karbala, which killed hundreds of Iraqis.

Thanks to the Astute Blogger for sending this to me.

Al Qaeda Continues to Call Defeat Victory

A few days ago we brought you news that Abu Musab al Zarqawi's al Qaeda in Iraq had led an 'attack' against a Marine base in Western Iraq.

The score? 3 wounded Marines, 10-15 dead al Qaeda bitches.

Since that time the international terrorist loving media has been trying to claim that a U.S. counter-offensive against the nearby city of al Qaim is a bloody mess. Some of them go so far as to claim that the U.S. [wait for it...I know this will shock you...big surprise ending] is massacring civilians. Right.

Anyway the brave al Qaeda fighters released an announcement of their [again....steady....wait for it....just one more second] victory.

You can see it here. Almost funny in that kind of Charles Mansoneseque kind of way......

One of the suicide bombers who attacked the Marines turns out to be a Saudi named Hadi bin Mubarak al-Qahtani who is said to have 'grown eager' to 'martyr himself'. I was thinking maybe he meant 'pleasure himself' but that kind of fell on deaf ears.

These guys also consider sending teenagers on a suicide bombing mission to blow up street vendors bravery. Right.

What was that line from the movie Patton? You know, the one about the point of war not being about dying for your country but letting the son-of-a-bitch you're fighting die for his?

With all this talk of bravery over suicide bombings and victory over failed attacks, the next thing we might expect coming out of Zarqawi's mouth is the claim that decapitating bound and gagged civilians is some sort of triumph.

Oh. Wait. Nevermind.
