Feeling inspired this morning - wonder if the wingnuts are up to anything new?
All Things Beautiful - Ralph Nader now works for Hezbollah, and the deaths of the U.N. observers are Kofi Annan's fault because, like, why do they have to observe anything anyway?
All Things Conservative - if we try Gitmo detainees in federal courts then activist judges might get killed ... not that there's anything wrong with that.
American Thinker - behold as we use our nonexistent Google skills to prove there's no such thing as global warming!
Atlas Shrugs - if you look at Beirut from waaaay up in the air it really doesn't look so bad.
Blue Crab Boulevard - even though John Murtha's seat is safe he should stick to campaigning in his own district - how dare he try to help other Democrats! Traitor!
Bullwinkle Blog - hey ... look over here! Remember the Clinton pardons and Hillary's brother and all that neat stuff? That's much worse than anything Bush has done!
Captain's Quarters - don't you find it surprising that Howard Dean hates Republicans? What did we ever do to him?
Confederate Yankee - isn't Glenn Greenwald a complete sock puppet? No, really, this link to Patterico proves it!
Debbie Schlussel - did you know the U.N. helped Hezbollah kidnap Israeli soldiers? No, I know you didn't - that's why you should be secretly glad those U.N. observers got killed, like I am.
Flopping Aces - the fact that Israel had come close to hitting the U.N. observer post before they destroyed it proves the bombing was an accident. Duh!
GOP Bloggers - we dug up this old photo of Kofi Annan with Hassan Nasrallah to prove Kofi hates Jews ... everybody knows that if you pose for a picture with a bad guy then you're a bad guy too.
Hot Air (Allahpundit) - OK, let's move the goal posts again ... now the question isn't whether Iraq was a mistake, but whether it's a failure. And it's just not a failure yet, so fuck you!
Hugh Hewitt - I am such an important blogger that I got to interview Arizona Senator Jon Kyl - he's the big dumb one, not the one that's always humping Bush's leg.
Instapundit - Bush has done nothing for Darfur, but why should he bother when the U.N. will just mess things up anyway?
JunkyardBlog - Powerline read in some Moonie newspaper that 50% of Americans think Saddam had WMD, so he did, OK? Case closed.
LGF - this link to an Australian wingnut's post of photo of a U.N. flag flying near a Hezbollah flag proves conclusively that Kofi Annan is a terrorist.
Macsmind - why would anybody give a shit about whether world leaders respect Bush? CBS gives a shit, but that's just because they hate America.
Michelle Malkin - what's a few peacekeepers? This is a war, and we ... I mean Israel, has to get on with the job of killing innocent civilians that happen to be brown.
NRO (Jonah Goldberg) - as usual I've got nothing useful to add, so let me take this opportunity to say how much I hate fast food restaurants and strip malls. They're icky.
NRO (K-Lo) - as usual I've got nothing useful to add, so I'll just link to this badly-written NRO piece on Ann Coulter.
Patterico's Pontifications - watch and be dazzled as I post a bunch of sock puppet pictures to prove Glenn Greenwald is a very bad person ... shit, I totally crack me up.
Powerline - Bush should protect all Blastocyst-Americans instead of just some Blastocyst-Americans ... that'd show Congress!
Protein Wisdom - wouldn't it be funny if Kofi Annan was the 3rd egg in a 4 egg omelet? ... shit, where's my Anafranil?
Real Clear Politics - if Tom DeLay is forced to be on the ballot, he'll win ... no, seriously ... hey, c'mon, he will!
Security Watchtower - so what if Israel is using white phosphorus against innocent civilians - its not like it's against the law or anything.
The Real Ugly American - how can General Wesley Clark possibly know what countries Bush was planning to invade? I mean, it's not like he ever worked at the Pentagon!
Nope, nothing new.

Especially if you use a cartoon map.
Say, I recall that trick was used in a Bugs Bunny cartoon once...

I'm still baffled at the name Protein Wisdom. In the fashion world, a protein stain is considered something truly icky. You wouldn't want it on your best Armani trousers.
So what is he getting at--that all posts must have lots of protein references in them, i.e. eggs? Or, that people who shun meat are somehow un-wise? From what I understand, too much protein puts a serious strain on the kidneys. Which would make one a piss-poor human.

Now there's a crew! What a freakin' lineup.
Love that picture Blogenfreude!

Assrocket makes a good point. If President Bush was consistent in his view that "murder is wrong" regarding blastocyst-Americans, he would outlaw all embryonic research. He would also ban fertility clinics, since over 80% of the embryos created in these clinics are destroyed.
Atlas is always good for a laugh, and Jeff Goldstein needs to lay off the Pat Robertson protein shakes.

Beowulf History
by Phil Merkey
In late 1993, Donald Becker and Thomas Sterling began sketching the outline of a commodity-based cluster system designed as a cost-effective alternative to large supercomputers. In early 1994, working at CESDIS under the sponsorship of the HPCC/ESS project, the Beowulf Project was started.
The initial prototype was a cluster computer consisting of 16 DX4 processors connected by channel bonded Ethernet. The machine was an instant success and their idea of providing COTS (Commodity Off The Shelf) based systems to satisfy specific computational requirements quickly spread through NASA and into the academic and research communities.
Some of the major accomplishments of the Beowulf Project will be chronicled below, but a non-technical measure of success is the observation that researchers within the High Performance Computer community now refer to such machines as "Beowulf Class Cluster Computers." Beowulf clusters are now recognized as genre within the HPC community.
[snip]
The future of the Beowulf project will be determined collectively by the individuals and organizations contributing to the Beowulf project and by the future of mass-market COTS. As microprocessor technology continues to evolve, higher speed networks become cost-effective, and more application developers move to parallel platforms, the Beowulf project will continue to advance.

WTF?
Posted by: Comandante Agi | July 27, 2006 at 04:10 PM
In line with the WTF’s ongoing reform programs, the General Assembly approved a package of proposals for amendments to the WTF Rules and Regulations and the WTF Competition Rules.
Under the changed WTF Rules and Regulations, the term “regional” will be changed into “continental,” thus the regional unions shall be continental unions. Article 2.4 on Amateurism was also deleted.
[the rest of this rather lengthy comment was also deleted ... Typepad was crashing]

See what happens when you take in too much protein wisdom? I keep telling people, but noooooooo...

Might be time to ban his butt - or study Chaucer. But not both!
Posted by: Tata | July 27, 2006 at 05:29 PM
what a lot of work, Blogen. But I'd rather read you than Chaucer any day. xoxo

My,my, they all appear to be so testy. Perhaps it's the result of sitting on that knot in their bloomers.

Beowolf this early in the morning is too much to bear. But on the Global Warming thing, Helen Wheels posted about how Exxon is paying people $100,000 per pop to talk against Global Warming. I happily volunteered, as I could use the scratch for upcoming travel plans. So here goes: Hey, there's no such thing as global warming, we have Air Conditioning at my office. Hey, there's no such thing as global warming, because we still get winter. Hey, there's no such thing as global warming, because if there were, we'd all have sun tans, and I'm really pale. Doesn't this qualify for $100,000? Purty impressive, if I do say so myownself.

We appreciate your swimming around in the cesspool and bringing up these treasures, but you can stop now. We get the point and it's bad for your health.

Litbrit,
Oh dear...how to put this delicately to someone I'm fond of and admire...and a woman to boot. (Not that I don't respect all women, mind you, just the intergender thing makes this a bit more embarassing for me)
Protein is also the main, er, ingredient of semen...

Oh, now I know who Murad really is!
Hell, I even have his personal information lying around somewhere...don't I, "Murad"?
You know me. You know who I am, and we've had run-ins before. Do you recall how quickly your boss shut you off when you were being a real pain?
Now stop it.
Posted by: actor212 | July 28, 2006 at 08:19 AM
Oh, now I know who Murad really is!
Would someone please fill me in?
Posted by: blogenfreude | July 28, 2006 at 08:31 AM
Blogen I don't know how you manage to wade through that much bullshit. Got hip boots?
That Atlas woman needs some Afranil or maybe just some quaaludes.
Actor 212's right about the "protein."
