Under The Weather Link Round Up

I’ve got the flu and a couple of Ribeyes and a dozen oysters so blogging will be light, but here are some links that should entertain and inform:

Islam’s long history with America is detailed in this excellent article by Wallbuilders. Notice the footnotes, oh how I miss academia.

Bikini promoting Pundit Rachel Marsden has a nice pic up of French President Sarkozy’s new squeeze Carla Bruni. Her new project Grand Central Political is up and running as well.

Debbie Nathan sort of apologizes for defending filthy pervert Bernie Ward in one of the most asinine articles to ever appear on Counterpunch. Sort of.

Lost in Lima, Ohio has a story of rough justice in Folsom prison.

Much maligned blogger Lionheart is seeking asylum in the good old U.S. of A. He can crash at my place.

The body Brianna Denison has been found. Our worse fears have been confirmed as it is now thought to be the work of a serial rapist.

In other crime news the claws are out at Criminal Conduct who are taking on police impersonator Steven James Nemec. Nemec is an ex-con who Mike Huckabee granted a police commission to, even though impersonating an officer was Nemec’s crime of choice.

NSFW, America’s most beloved porn journalist is not a Lindsay Lohan fan.

Iran smirks its way through a threat on Israel. Peaceful nukes indeed.

GSGF disagrees with me on Kosovo independence, and she’s in good company with Kim Zigfeld at Publius Pundit. Tammy Bruce agrees with me. We’ll settle this in a duel!

Former Farscape favorite Virginia Hey is helping her land lord unload his estate style house on her blog. If anything can beat a housing slump, it’s good old fashioned nerd bait.

Darklillith“, some angry Wiccan who was upset with me for this or that, answered my point by point refutation of her asinine comments about me by vomiting forth a defense of Cuba and Communism. She’s apparently not seen this report by The Devil’s Excrement on the food shortages in Venezuela. Maybe she should spend more time on Babalu Blog and The Real Cuba and less time on DailyKos. Read her comments to see the mind of a neo-Marxist at work.

Ectoplasmosis rips apart The Guardian, Max Gogarty and Communism. Now that’s criticism!

Guess how high Zimbabwe’s inflation is?

Wolf Howling talks sense on National Security.

Velvet Hammer has the story of another victim of Muslim death threats, this time an author who was trying to present Mohammed’s sex life in a good light. The Umma can’t have that I guess.

Neo-neocon is a blogger after my own heart. Poetry without form is like music without melody.
