Oh well.

If the impending collapse of the other Moore's Law is that bad, I guess I better give up tangerines.

Their rule is this: "Kill as many as possible."

That rule has also been adopted by the Syrian and Iranian-backed terrorists in Iraq.

It's amazing what you can find out if you ask the right questions.

I scanned Salon yesterday for news or Commentary concerning Chief Justice Roberts' recent health scare. I didn't need any more news -- I already knew the story. What I was looking for was a possible Comments thread, to see what kind of hateful death-wishing Salonista jibberish might be found.

But I saw nothing in terms of a story or a plcae for Comments. Smart move by the Salon editors, I thought. Don't give the Salon faithful a chance to embarass themselves precisely as do the idiots at DemocraticUnderground, FireDogLake, MoveOn, or DailyKos. Or, for that matter, many of the bottom-feeders populating Bill O'Reilly's website, which I have never seen, by the way.

And so, I was at least a little gratified today when James Taranto's Best of the Web page on OpinionJournal.com did my work for me and posted some of the tastier tidbits of liberal hate-speech at some of those sites.

I hope we see more of it.

Memo to Larry King: if you are a real person, and not a Herschel Krustovsky cyborg, try rolling down your sleeves and wearing a coat the next time you are in the presence of the Vice President of the United States, in the office of the President of the Senate.

-sorry for the typo-

I'd be concerned, if I didn't already know that you all were the same dorks who were committed to the Howard Dean campaign...

...in your criminal investigation of Al Qaeda. Be sure to read bin Laden a Miranda warning when you find him. And good luck finding process servers to work in the Hindu Kush mountains of Afghanistan. Or getting legal secretaries to staff the public defender's office in Mosul, Fallujah and Sadr City.

Mind you, all of those things will hopefully be quite possible someday. When democracies and civilized and society takes root and drives out the tribal fanatics.

In the meantime, I think we better let the 82nd Airborne, the 101st Airborne, the 10th Mtn. Division and the First Marines do the job.

And as for bin Laden, I'll feel better when a Predator sends a couple of Hellfire missiles his way; not when he is under federal indictment.

bin Laden already is under federal indictment, isn't he? That's worked out pretty effectively, hasn't it?

All we need to do now is send Joe Friday in a black-and-white unit to pick him up, cuff him, and book him!

When I look at the last 30 years of the Israeili-Palestinian conflict, I look at what has been gained for the Israeli people, and the Palestinian people.

The Palestinian people have done poorly in terms of standards of living, education, and, most of all, their own civil rights, particularly in those locales they have been self-governed by corrupt Palestinian "leaders."

The reign of Arafat through much of that time, until his death from AIDS, was nothing less than a kleptocracy.

So there you have the roots of the failure in the peace process. Thank goodness for American leadership that will not accept the miserable, desultory status quo in which the Palestinian people are the permanent pawns of Arab-state grievance politics.

Hell if I know what it is you "detect."

If you want some real good old-tyme Anti-Semitism, you should do a search for "Cindy Sheehan," "Rachel Corrie" "Hamas" "Saddam Hussein" and "Mahmoud Ahmadinejad." Oh and don't forget the best search term, which is "as in neo-con."

That'll get you started.

And what was the carbon tax on all that bottled water?

When you last went on "vacation", did you get daily briefings from the Director of National Intelligence?

Did you meet with the heads of state from France, Canada and Mexico?

Personally, I don't see much of President Bush "vacationing." I do see him getting away from Washington DC. Which is a good thing. There are too many Democrats in Washington to allow almost anybody to think straight. Then again, August is probably a very good time to be in DC. Since all the Democrat officeholders are away, vacationing in Malibu, Marin County, Martha's Vineyard or the Hamptons. With the rest of the real, hardworking Americans.

Wait, there is Dick Durbin. He's not in the Hamptons. he went to Iraq. Where he found out that the American military is actually succeeding with current operations. Now that is what I call a productive working vacation. Of course, President Bush already knew about that success, so there wasn't any point in him going back to Iraq. The President just needs to explain our successes to non-Americans, like the French, and the Canadians, and the Salon readership.

What a nauseating bunch you all are...

Here is the last paragraph of the briefing you mentioned...

"The FBI is conducting approximately 70 full-field investigations throughout the U.S. that it considers bin Laden-related. CIA and the FBI are investigating a call to our embassy in the UAE in May saying that a group or bin Laden supporters was in the U.S. planning attacks with explosives."

The only other thing that I can think of that would have been helpful at that time might have beent the complete rollback of Clinton-era restraints on interagency sharing of surveillance of information on terrorism suspects in the U.S. You know -- all that civil liberties protections crap, thanks to 9/11 Commissioner and former DoJ busybody, Jamie Gorelick. But it tokk 9/11 to pass that kind of legislation in the form of the Patriot Act.
