So, I finally catch the eye of the almighty Instapundit and, of course, I've been waay too busy to keep up with this blog...bad enough.
But I didn't even include a link (here) in the e-mail!!!
*sigh*
Back to staring at the lint in my navel.

Ye Olde Jihad
FrontPage magazine.com :: Americas First War on Terror by Andrew G. Bostom is an eye-opening recounting of Jihad directed against 18th century America, even earlier Europeans (17th century Ireland!), and other examples of rapacious conquest by Muslms from Italy to Indonesia.

No Pasaran, no bullshrimp (Thanks to Bob, Spike, and Joe)
No pasaran has the up-to-date status of the US versus those-who-signed-Kyoto and who is actually ahead on reducing emissions (hint, it ain't thems that's on the "Continent").
I wonder if anyone has measured the warming effects of the hot air emitted by EU officaldom?

PJM News - Large Asteroid Zips Harmlessly Past Earth (9436816/AP)
Pajamas Media has an AP story about a near miss with an asteroid that passed just outside the orbit of the moon.
I imagine that the NYT headline will read something like,

Pump dat shotgun!
OK. So I was just providing MisKelly with some advice on purchasing a shotgun for home defense.
Here's my preference:
Remington 870 Express Magnum pump shotgun with tactical magazine extension
Safety (button behind trigger) Off
Chamber empty
00 Buck (5-shells) in the magazine
Hollowpoint slugs in buttstock mounted shotshell carrier (Last round loaded is first to be chambered; I can lead off with a slug if needed)
A tactical light with pressure switch (I prefer SureFire as a brand. I don't currently mount one though. The max range in my apartment is 6-10 feet.)
Mossbergs have their safety located on top of the backstrap. I have experienced them working loose during a firing string and reapplying themselves in the middle of a string. In other words, you may be in the middle of firing more than one round and the safety may suddenly activate--this prevents you from firing...can you say 12 gauge club?
I have also used the Winchester and i don't recall any particular foibles. I think they're probably as reliable as the Remington.
Wear these: Peltor (click on Tactical Headsets)
Although I said in MissKelly's comments that these will protect your hearing (and they will) the real reason is so you don't flinch when the gun goes off, causing you to miss your target and kill your waterbed.
Shoot often and straight.

Mnute is Da MAN!
OK. On REAL Sports with Bryant Gumbel (can't believe it) I'm watching a story about Mnute Bol and his unwavering support to his people in the southern Sudan.
He spent his millions trying to help his Christian tribesmates (the Dinka) to resist the dicatorial Islamic Fundamentalist regime. From at least 1983 (!) he was heavily involved in supporting the Dinka.
His money is mostly gone now, but his spirit isn't.
He and his cousin visited 58 Congressmen and Senators to warn them about al Qaeda and Usama bin Laden (who was located in the Sudan at the time) and they went to warn the Pentagon too. They repeatedly begged for help for the Dinka from the USA. Outside of Billary's abortive bombing action (Clinton: 1 pharmaceutical plant; al Qaeda: WTC '93, USS Cole, AMEMB (2), etc.), we haven't done anything to stop the torture and genocide.
Bol wound up in a car accident--not his fault, his taxi driver was drunk--and wound up in a coma with three fractured vertebrae and no health insurance.
I'm thinking maybe RICE/BOL in 2008!

Goodbye 2 Google
I have removed the Google AdSense ads that used to display in a sidebar.
Their continued abetting of Communist Chinese censorship is unsupportable.
Goodbye, Google.

Chevrolet Corvette
I'm a Chevrolet Corvette!
You're a classic - powerful, athletic, and competitive. You're all about winning the race and getting the job done. While you have a practical everyday side, you get wild when anyone pushes your pedal. You hate to lose, but you hardly ever do.
Take the Which Sports Car Are You? quiz.

Returning Abramoff cash 'taints' tribes, Murray says
Returning Abramoff cash 'taints' tribes, Murray says
(H/T Instapundit)
Apparently that "Culture of Corruption" doesn't apply to our venerable Senator. She claims that returning the contributions that she received from 1999 to 2005 from Indian tribes represented by Jack Abramoff would "taint" the tribes.
In accepting more than $40,000 in campaign donations from Abramoff, Murray is the ninth largest receiver of Abramoff funds in the Senate (second largest Dumbocrat).
Let the tap dancing begin!
