Two iconic figures of my formative years – played by Ricardo Montalban and Patrick McGoohan – have passed. For the latter, read Ken Hite’s thoughts as well. For the former, well, this is the legacy that Montalban’s fans will remember:

No, trust me: they know their enemy. Oh, my yes: they do.
The Killers, The RedState YouTube Video, and what makes America great.
It’s crass capitalism, my friends. Crass capitalism.

The Weekly World News reviews the top eight alien films.
By their top alien reviewer Mygar.
I don’t know what’s worse: that I’ve seen all of these movies, or that I’m willing to admit in public that I’ve seen the first one.

Democrats shut down Drug War debate in El Paso.
Last week, El Paso’s City Council took an interesting stand on Federal drug policy.
The City Council had voted unanimously last week on a resolution originally drafted by the city’s Committee on Border Relations that expressed support for Juarez and called upon the federal government to take several steps to aid Juarez and Mexico.
Those steps included clamping down on gun-running and money-laundering; the controversy arose when O’Rourke amended a portion of the resolution calling for less focus on incarceration and more on rehabilitation to asking for an “honest open national debate on ending the prohibition on narcotics.”
There is, of course, a good deal of debate on whether what Robert Anton Wilson called “The War on Some Drugs” is a sensible policy or not; it’s one of those things that people disagree on, usually strongly.

Camille Paglia’s latest column.
As I noted – possibly snidely, but probably not, alas – in the blogroll, you have to encourage liberal writers and pundits who don’t actually hate conservatives. Come, I will hide nothing from you: Paglia is a guilty pleasure for more Right-bloggers than you might think. Possibly because she’ll write things like this:

Advance quotes from Esquire’s March Sarah Palin interview.
The first one is the most red-meaty, I think.
Palin on Bloggers and the World of Journalism
“Bored, anonymous, pathetic bloggers who lie annoy me….I’ll tell you, yesterday the Anchorage Daily News, they called again to ask — double-, triple-, quadruple-check — who is Trig’s real mom. And I said, Come on, are you kidding me? We’re gonna answer this? Do you not believe me or my doctor? And they said, No, it’s been quite cryptic the way that my son’s birth has been discussed. And I thought, Okay, more indication of continued problems in the world of journalism.”
