I, for one, welcome our new Messiah overlord in Iran.
Osama bin Laden is dead. I know becaue Harry Reid told me.
I've been following the case of Joel Henry Hinrichs closely and have read all of the documents released from the FBI which Michelle Malkin has archived. Although I agree with Michelle and Jason that the MSM reaction to Hinrichs was baffling, to say the least, given the context of a hot war against Islamist extremists, I find that the documents are exculpatory rather than damning. In fact, given the large number of e-mails read by the FBI in Hinrich's Yahoo account, you would expect that if a larger Islamist plot existed that it would be in these e-mails that such a plot would be revealed. The FBI--at least in its public statements--have found no such evidence. Further, the documents reveal that Hinrichs Muslim room mate cooperated with the FBI and allowed them to search his room. So, in my opinion: case closed.
Happy Birthday Winston Churchill
Saddam's top prison complaints include: "The rape rooms in this prison are way different, and far less enjoyable, than the ones I used to run."
A new pro-Iraqi democracy blog written by Nibras Kazimi. Cool.
Need I remind you that failure is not an option in Iraq?
The Man has evidence of photoshopping by Moveon.org to cover up their ignorance of the American military. Personally I'm glad they replaced those gay British shorts with some American pants.
New Orleans to become largest free-porn city in America in effort to attract residents to move back in.
Bill Moyers believes that it is a myth to call the media 'liberal' since, you know, focusing reporting on how the government ought to spend more on welfare programs is just 'good reporting'. (hat tip: Joe Goat)
Rusty Shackleford is hoping to displace his Imperial Highness as Most Annoying Right-Of-Center Blogger. So any blogger involved in this year's RWN poll, please remember just how annoying I have been this year.

So while IÂ’m all pissed and stuff we have another big giant rectum out there somewhere hacking Grey EagleÂ’s site. Mr. Right emails again today that Anna, his co-blogger (see got that right this time), is calling our attention to Grey Eagles plight again. So another size 13 boot should be fit snugly in some hack bastardÂ’s sphincter.

Jennifer, of Demure Thoughts, has a sick little girl and could use some donations. Please donate via pay pal if help if you can.
I figure this is ironic justice since I had been joking all week about voluntarily getting my gall bladder removed so that my body wouldn't absorb any more fat calories. It seemed funny at the time when directed at a colleague who couldn't eat my wife's pecan pie. Karmic justice is life's little bitch.

Project Hero: 1LT Brian R. Chontosh receives Navy Cross. God bless our heroes serving in Iraq.
Don't question Murtha's patriotism! Ever. Any one who would question Murtha's patriotism cannot be, by definition, a patriot. More Murtha lunacy here. Fellow Jawa blogger, Chris Short, discusses last Friday's vote.
Plame-gate continues. Am I the only one that finds this 'story' a little boring.
Why Republicans are such pussies when it comes to fighting illegal immigration.
Me on a deck of cards? Awesome-o! Vote for Jawa!!!
Help Meryl Yourish find a job. No, 'professional blogger' is still not a 'job'.
Decision '08 turns numero uno. And to think I knew Mark when he was just a twinkle in Glenn Reynold's eye.
Judicial tyranny in....wait for it...Israel. Apparently the repurcussions of Marbury v. Madison know no boundaries.

I apologize for the mass e-mailing, but this is just too disgusting for words!My co-blogger at The Right Place, Anna (also of A Rose by Any Other Name, ), has twice written about the plight of a small MilBlog run by Grey Eagle. First, Anna asked people to drop by and post some encouraging words after she noticed some very rude and disgusting comments being left there by leftwing trolls.
I thought that was the end of it, but Anna has just recently posted again about Grey Eagle's blog after she visited once more and saw the newest post Grey Eagle had at the top.
I couldn't find a permalink at Grey Eagle's site, A Female Soldier 2, but as of my writing this, it was still the top post.
I can certainly understand that. Seems some trolls just don’t know when to quit. I seem to remember one calling the queen of England a fat beotch on a London bombing thread. So I can see how it gets to a person. So blog on Anna and you know to troll an “Honor the Dead Thread” just plain sucks. So I hope Anna keeps it up. Mr. Right sent me a copy of the post and I’ll post it in the extended entry but really surf over there and show your support for Anna.
Update: Me Screw up duh
Thanks for the links, Howie!Just to clear things up a bit, Anna is my co-blogger and was writing ABOUT a MilBlogger named Grey Eagle who runs A Female Soldier 2, which is the blog that has been under assault.
It is Grey Eagle who needs the words of support and encouragement, not Anna.
Sorry for any confusion my letter may have caused.
Sorry for any confusion I may have caused. I was in a hurry on dialup and I sucked. But I'm used to that so Support both bloggers and Mr Right. I now return myself to my regularly scheduled vacation.

For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes.
Rusty returns to blogging?
I decide to throw up a post here?
We post one minute apart?
The 2005 Weblog Awards nominations?
Coincidence, sheer coincidence I tell you

The Jawa Report is one of 70 top blogs now a part of Open Source Media.
Today's launch event will include comments by Instapundit blogger Glenn Reynolds and Pulitzer Prize winner and best-selling author Judith Miller, who will discuss the "Shield Law" bill currently before Congress and broader issues facing bloggers and journalists alike.
The launch will be broadcast live at 10:00 a.m. (ET) and can be heard via Windows Media here or via Real Audio here.
Other speakers will include David Corn (The Nation), Larry Kudlow (CNBC's "Kudlow & Company"), John Podhoretz (The New York Post) and Claudia Rosett (contributor to The Wall Street Journal), all of whom are noted bloggers and members of the Open Source Media Editorial Board, plus an appearance via audiocast by the noted Baghdad bloggers Iraq the Model.
Founded last year under the Pajamas Media name, OSM has been one of 2005's most widely-discussed new blogging developments, due both to the scope of its vision and the support it's drawn from respected mainstream media journalists and bloggers.
Today, Open Source Media will detail its plan to become the new meeting ground for thoughtful opinion and news online, and a unique home for the growing movement of citizen journalism that will include important webloggers from across the world with mainstream media journalists sympathetic to its goals.
"Our most important goal is openness via the free and respectful exchange of ideas expressed through citizen journalists, coupled with a dedication to honesty and the truth," said co-founder, noted screenwriter and blogger Roger L. Simon. "When we talk about citizen journalism, we mean journalism not created by elites, as in the 'top-down' traditional media, but from the 'bottom-up,' by citizens using their observations and knowledge, informed by a desire to speak honestly. Citizen journalism at its best means the pursuit of the truth above all things, above partisanship or the financial interests of the medium publishing it."
Today's announcement comes as the blogosphere maintains staggering growth. According to a January 2005 report by the Pew Internet & American Life Project, blog readership increased by nearly 60 percent in 2004 to approximately 27 percent of all Internet users. More recently, analysis by the Newspaper Association of America found that the average weekday circulation of U.S. newspapers is continuing to decline, falling 2.6 per cent over the six month-period ending in September 2005. But, while cognizant of these trends, Open Source Media's vision remains one of evolution and cooperation.
Open Source Media currently features content from more than 70 bloggers worldwide, primarily focused on political and current events. However, the goal is to expand its scope to eventually include all forms of coverage, from local news to pop culture to sports, fashion, food, hobbies and more. Advising the company and its bloggers is an Open Source Media Editorial Board that includes Reynolds, Corn, Kudlow, Rosett, Michael Barone and 10 other noted journalists and bloggers announced on October 17.
Today's event will take place at The Rainbow Room, 30 Rockefeller Plaza, from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. The event will be audiocast live beginning at 10 a.m.
BEGINNING AT 10:00 AM EASTERN: STREAM LIVE AUDIO WITH WINDOWS MEDIA OR REAL MEDIA

I'm taking nominations via trackbacks to this post. I'll be seeding the nominations with some of the obvious candidates.More details on the process are here. I'm sure Rusty will have something to add on this subject when he gets a chance.Yes, you can self-nominate via a single trackback, but give a good (based on merit or humor is best) reason why you should be in the running. "My blog [your blog name here] should be eligible in the [suit name] suit poll because [reason here]." Something that may give me a visual idea to riff on is best.
If you can get a Higher Being, Mortal Human or Playful Primate to nominate you, 10 votes will be added to your vote total.
Link-whoring? Yeah, a bit. But how much are a piece of custom photoshopping unique to your blog, a good laugh and bragging rights worth?
The sample Queen of Hearts and King of Diamonds are NOT the final drafts. Final photoshops will be a complete unique card.
Nominations end at 9pm PDT the night before each poll.
Companion post at Interested-Participant.

Give early, give often.
Now would be a good time to spend like a drunken sailor.
Oh, what is the Valour-IT fundraising about?
Click here to find out. For more info about the competition, go here.
Go Navy!
UPDATE: An update already?
Yup. Just to let you know I donated, that's me on the top. Eric is my real name, and I donated $200, a hundred for my blog, a hundred on behalf of the Jawa Report.
UPDATE II: I now have a permanent button at Vince Aut Morire, so that I don't have to keep pushing the Air Farce puke down the page!
Oh, and non-bloggers can help raise the money too, by downloading the flyers!
Ok, one last UPDATE: The Vinnies don't ask you to do something without doing it themselves. Da wife threw a couple coins in the basket too, from her own PP account. She's the "Merri from NE" under the "view all."
Really, I don't care what team you donate under, we all have the same goal, and we all get to have a little fun at the expense of the inherent inter-service rivalries.
THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO'S DONATED! THANKS IN ADVANCE TO ANYONE WHO DOES!!!!

First up is my wretched Senator DICK Durbin whom IÂ’m kind of torn about. I mean I want to see him out but if some guy like Shimkus runs and beats him where will I get material? Dick just does not get that I see right through the politics of his actions this week. Still waiting on a positive idea from you sir. IÂ’m not holding my breath.
"It's a question about whether or not anyone in this administration in any way misused or distorted intelligence," Durbin said. He said senators "owe the American people some straight answers."
OK since time is short IÂ’ll just let Glen Reynolds take care of you for me. Cause with friends like you our enemy is in good shape. How about we win first and squabble later, novel idea.
Reynolds on MSNBC: Well, okay -- but then the investigation needs to go way back before the war, to 1998, when a Democratic President and a Democratic Congress passed the Iraq Liberation Act.
OK so you can hardly nominate DICK this week without a mention of Harry Reid. IÂ’m not from Nevada but I felt better that I was not in the only state with a moonbat Senator. Hey Boys in case you have not noticed there is a war on right now. You can whine all you want about how it started. No votes for anyone who wants to drag up some more mud and hinder progress with cheap political bullshit. In all fairness to Reid he supports my right to flame him here which almost redeems him sorta.
OK letÂ’s add to the list Gov Rob Blagojevich. My fine ILL Republicans have been keeping tabs on him for me. LetsÂ’ see what they have in the newsletter this week below the break.
