Call me a weblog snob. When someone like J.B. Van Hollen is running for statewide office and their weblog is on BlogSpot I think a few things: 1) they haven’t thought much about weblogs and wanted to get something up to make it appear they “get it;” 2) they’re too cheap to integrate the weblog […]
Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code jumped the shark when so many people thought much of what’s inside the book to be true that the Vatican had to assign an archbishop to rebut the book. In a few months the book finally comes out in paperback and the movie starring Tom Hanks will be in […]
A judge hasn’t forced RIM to shut down its BlackBerry service yet. Darn, I wanted to see what effects it would have on crackberry addicts. I’m envisioning shortness of breath, indigestion, headaches, nausea, and a wave of Treo and Sidekick thefts.

I was so tempted to take yesterday off and hear Justice Scalia, but I really need to be able to afford my trips to D.C. and Arizona (less than two weeks away!). Ann Althouse was there, took notes, and let us know that someday speeches from the program will shown on C-SPAN.

Curfews in Baghdad have kept people off the streets and have tapped down violence. Friday is often a day when Iraqis go to their mosques then protest after being rallied by imams. Not today. That doesn’t mean the threat of religious violence (or “tribal anarchy” to use Lee Harris’ chilling words) has passed. It is […]
The public isn’t fond of the UW system. No surprise.
The State Senate gave Gov. Doyle a “Real ID” bill. Will he veto it and prevent Wisconsinites from using their driver’s licenses to board planes, or will he cave to the illegal immigrant lobby?
A Jackson monster used an electric dog collar on his stepdaughter so she […]
It’s bugged me when I go to a weblog linked by Glenn Reynolds only to find “Welcome Instapundit readers.” I thought, “Act like you’ve done it before.” Kevin Aylward had the guts to say it. I’m just the tag-along.

Some anti-war protesters didn’t think Sen. Herb Kohl is pure enough:
The activists asked Kohl to endorse a timetable for troops to withdraw from Iraq as fellow Democratic Wisconsin Sen. Russ Feingold has done. They also called on Kohl to vote against a supplemental spending bill that includes about $72 billion more for military operations in […]
Scott Walker correctly points out the biggest difference between Rep. Mark Green and himself is on ethanol:
The biggest philosophical difference between the two of us is on the ethanol mandate. While I support farmers (I grew up in a rural town and my mother was born and raised on a farm), I don’t support mandates. […]

Senators got their first chance to grill Bush administration officials about the Dubai Ports World deal. If Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI) is any indication demogoguery was the name of the game:
Brushing aside Bush’s assurances, Sen. Carl Levin of Michigan, the panel’s ranking Democrat, said the UAE backed the Taliban and allowed financial support for al-Qaida. […]
Pulling people out of cars and shooting them mark a low point in my hopes for a free Iraq.
Muqtada al-Sadr has raised his ugly head by blaming the government for his powerlessness. “If the government had real sovereignty, then nothing like this would have happened. Brothers in the Mahdi Army must protect all Shiite shrines […]
A bill that would end paying Milwaukee police accused of crimes passed a State Assembly committee. The police union is already threatening to sue.
The bombing of Askariya shrine doesn’t bode well for stability in Iraq.
The Washington Times gives a clearer picture of how valuable the United Arab Emirates has been post-Sep. 11. A big port, […]
At On Tap Marshall Manson wants us to “stop being paranoid and start acting like Americans.” There’s plenty of good discussion there.
Little Miss Attila agrees with me (I always like that) that opponents of the deal haven’t made their case yet. However, a commenter offers a pretty good hypothetical problem. It sure beats the “Arab=bad” […]
Jessica McBride refuses to look at the Dubai Ports World deal on its face. She imposes a politics template on it:
HUH? I just don’t get it. Reminds me of the Harriet Miers’ nomination. I didn’t get that one either. How can Bush be so tone deaf on this. Worse, he’s allowing the likes of Chuck […]
