When I saw this, all I could think about was that part in Under Siege when Seagal totally owned those ship hijackers with his homemade microwave bomb. (Via LRC.) A while back, I linked to a collection of Brad Neely’s animated videos. Well, here is a large collection of his stills, which are just as [...]

After the Democrats took over Congress, I thought the Bush administration would be forced to show some restraint in its activities. How naive I was. If anything, the administration has reacted to the new challenge like a cornered animal, attempting ever crazier gambits to stay alive. For instance, see Cheney’s claim earlier this week that [...]
Here are some links to tide you over until I get back to Saint Louis early Wednesday morning. (I was supposed to leave Sunday, but I kind of got stranded on the Gulf Coast.) I promise some substantive posts after that. The Onion A.V. Club gives us 13 Great Moments in the Co-option of Hip [...]
After only one night back at my apartment in Saint Louis, I’m hitching a red eye ride on the City of New Orleans for another wedding where I’m best man. I won’t be back until early Monday, and then I have a mail-in test due at five, so it may be Tuesday before I post [...]
My friend Stephen Carson has tagged me with a meme that has the following rules: Each player lists 8 facts/habits about themselves. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning before those facts/habits are listed. There is a ‘c’ that requires me to tag eight others, but I don’t have time for it [...]
The WaPo reports on a stringent policy at a Virginia middle school: All touching — not only fighting or inappropriate touching — is against the rules at Kilmer Middle School in Vienna.

I wonder: will this cause Giuliani to soften his stance on the war on drug users, or if he will use at as evidence that we need to imprison even more non-violent people? Nevermind, I already know the answer.
Again, sorry for the delay, but it could not be helped. Hopefully, the quantity and quality of the links will make up for my tardiness. An amazing early nineties pilot written and produced by Robert Smigel and Conan O’Brien and starring Adam West. If that description doesn’t rouse your interest, you are beyond help. At [...]
As some of my readers are already well-aware, I am the best man in a wedding tomorrow. Consequently, I have had a lot of shit to do, so Friday Fun Links will probably have to be Sunday Fun Links this week. Sorry. P.S. I’m also the best man in a wedding on Alabama’s Gulf Coast [...]
Michael Brendan Dougherty writing at Politico.com asks an incredibly important question about Ron Paul and Iowa Republicans: A recent Strategic Visions Poll shows that 57 percent of Iowa Republicans want the U.S. to withdraw all of its military forces from Iraq within the next six months. Only 37 percent of likely GOP caucus-goers think the [...]
