Four words of pure, utter terror.

[UPDATE]: Welcome, Instapundit readers.

Bud Light… Honey Wheat.

It’s real.  I’ve seen it.  I’ve tasted it.  Thankfully, my taste buds shut down in self defense after the first sip.  Even the guy giving away samples didn’t try to push it too hard.

OTOH, the Michelob Winter’s Bourbon Cask Ale was… not bad.  Enough so that I picked up a six-pack, in spite of the name.

Stimulus/Response Watch: THAT WOMAN.

Seldom does the universe line up so perfectly. Jonah Goldberg:

Slate magazine is just one of the countless media outlets convulsing with St. Vitus’ Dance over that demonic succubus Sarah Palin. In its reader forum, The Fray, one supposed Palinophobe took dead aim at the former Alaska governor’s writing chops, excerpting the following sentence from her book:

“The apartment was small, with slanting floors and irregular heat and a buzzer downstairs that didn’t work, so that visitors had to call ahead from a pay phone at the corner gas station, where a black Doberman the size of a wolf paced through the night in vigilant patrol, its jaws clamped around an empty beer bottle.”

Other readers pounced like wolf-sized Dobermans on an intruder. One guffawed, “That sentence by Sarah Palin could be entered into the annual Bulwer-Lytton bad writing contest. It could have a chance at winning a (sic) honorable mention, at any rate.”

Click through for the punchline; but you know it already, don’t you?

Via Ed Driscoll, via Sarah Palin’s Uterus – and if you were wondering whether the latter was vicious mockery of the Online Left or not, well: stop wondering. It is.

Behold the awesome powers of kittenhood.

Via Little Miss Attila & The Anchoress, both of whom I should be linking to more*, comes a test of patience:

They should make that one one of the final tests for Shaolin Kung Fu** initiates.

**’Squamous’ the spell-checker recognizes as a word, but not one word in the phrase ‘Shaolin Kung Fu.’ Barbarians.

Clinton won’t help Olbermann muck about in AR primaries.

(Via Hot Air Headlines) I don’t know if Mediaite deliberately omitted the reason for former President Bill Clinton’s refusal to attend a Keith Olbermann-boosted ‘free clinic event.’  It’s entirely possible that the actual reason (warning: FDL link) – that Clinton thinks that the event in question is a thinly-veiled primary campaign event against Senator Blanche Lincoln (D, AR) and for Democratic Senate hopeful Bill Halter – was simply uninteresting to Mediaite, which is of course that site’s privilege.

That being said, this kind of allegation is newsworthy.  A former President accusing a more-or-less prominent Leftist television commentator of playing internal Democratic party politics with people’s health care coverage?  This should have been front and center on the site.  Heck, it should be above the fold on the New York Times.

‘Should,’ not ‘will.’

PS: Does MSNBC… approve of this?

Apparently, DST was an integral part of my blogging strategy.

I’ve been increasingly feeling like I’m under a midnight ‘deadline’ – if that even means anything – since it ended.  Then again, that might just be the Dragon Age: Origins… which is playing out like a mediocre tabletop roleplaying game.

THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING ACCOMPLISHMENT OF BIOWARE’S.  No, seriously.  That ain’t an easy goal to reach.

:raised eyebrow: Since when is raising a kid not ‘work?’

Ah, right: Joy Behar. Like it’s my fault that I married a roboticist.  Ach, well, what people do for ratings.

PS: It’s Paul Rodriquez who was the comedian trying to get them to turn the damn taps back on in California, not George Lopez.  I mention this so that various people in comments sections stop thinking daggers at the former; yes, yes, I’m a mad optimist.

Rasmussen: 55% of New Yorkers mocked by the Online Left.

Or, as someone firmly grounded in objective reality might put it, “55% in New York Oppose Civilian Terror Trials.”

Just 35% of New York State voters agree with Attorney General Eric Holder’s decision to try the confessed mastermind of the 9/11 terror attacks and five other suspected terrorists in a civilian court in New York City rather than before a military tribunal.

A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the state finds that 55% are opposed to that decision, which is part of the Obama administration’s effort to close the terrorist prison camp at the Guantanamo Naval Base in Cuba.

Guess we’ll be seeing a new talking point on that one from the Democrats, then. I’d offer suggestions, except that would imply that I was trying to help.
