I think there should be a list made of bleeding heart hippies who don’t support our President and therefore hate America.

Here’s a start:

• William F. Buckley
• Chris Matthews and Pat Buchanan

The Verdict: Oink – Los Angeles Times

CJR Daily: About Those Photos of Little Girls and Artillery Shells …

There have been a lot of people blogging about photographs of some little Israeli girls writing on artillery shells.  The real story (so this source says) has little to do with any of the conclusions people have drawn from the pictures, one way or the other.  Just wanted to link it in case anyone has seen it and not seen the real scoop.

I probably won’t be commenting too much on politics and news, because new bad news these days, on many fronts, is appearing numbingly fast. It seems every day the world falls apart a little more.

(I’m thinking of Israel vs Lebanon, Iraq, a rogue Executive Branch, that kinda stuff)

German story on it with video here.

I should probably say, for the record, that if the worst, stupidest thing Bush had done in his term-and-a-half so far was grabbing a German prime minister’s shoulders, it would be wonderful.
