I can't imagine you haven't already seen this, but if you haven't, let me recommend you read it immediately:

And then there is the Tenth Commandment. "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor's." The Ten Commandments are God's basic rules about how we should live--a brief list of sacred obligations and solemn moral precepts. The first nine Commandments concern theological principles and social law. But then, right at the end, is "Don't envy your buddy's cow." How did that make the top ten? What's it doing there? Why would God, with just ten things to tell Moses, choose as one of those things jealousy about the starter mansion with in-ground pool next door?

Not really clear how he went from one premise (spoofing the Inaugural) to another (The Ten Commandments), but hey, it's funny either way.

Damnit.

Well, it's going to take a little time, but I've started to add, move, and correct broken links in the blogroll. So far I've just corrected some long-broken links (Marcland, Daleks' Weblog, The New Vintage, Margi Lowry) and added some people I'd been meaning to for some time.

And I've started moving the once-new, now-established bloggers out into the regular blogroll. But that's taking a while... I hate alphabetizing.

If you think I ought to be linking you, tell me so in the comments. (If you already did so a couple of weeks, don't bother doing so again-- I know that post, and I'll be using it to update the blogroll).

This gives these buffoons more attention than they deserve, but Hundred Percenter has photos of Jackasses on the March.

...which I think I did pretty badly at, SobekPundit liveblogged the appearance.

That's pretty cool. I've been liveblogged.

Say it ain't so, Jack:

Former Republican vice-presidential candidate and New York Congressman Jack Kemp has been questioned by the FBI in the U.N. oil-for-food scandal, it was revealed last night. Newsweek magazine reported on its Web site that the ex-Buffalo Bills quarterback faces scrutiny about his dealings with Virginia-based oil trader Samir Vincent, who earlier this week became the first figure to be formally charged with criminal wrongdoing in the $21.3 billion global scandal. The magazine identified Kemp as the former senior U.S. government official whom the feds said Vincent contacted on behalf of Saddam Hussein in an attempt to weaken and repeal sanctions on Iraq. Former White House lawyer Lanny Davis, speaking on Kemp’s behalf, confirmed to The Post that Kemp was interviewed by the FBI in October, but, “as far as we are aware, he is not a target. He is not a subject of any kind of investigation.” Davis, a Kemp pal who was President Bill Clinton's White House counsel, said Kemp never took any money or had any business relationship with Vincent — and was not aware that Vincent was an Iraqi agent.

I don't read Sullivan anymore, not even to find something idiotic to rip on.

But I don't need to, I guess. Mickey Kaus is taking after Sullivan like Michael Moore after a Scooter Pie.

Noting that Sullivan is casting himself (perpetually) as a complex-thinking maverick independent unafraid to tell the truth, Kaus uses Sullivan's own words to demonstrate that, by his own admission and according to his own criteria, he got the Iraq War wrong, and yet continues to claim that he alone was right.

What did the Times and Blix have to do to merit a Sullivan apology? Did they have to guess everything correctly--the exact number of canisters in each bunker, maybe? They said Saddam's weapons program wasn't worth going to war over--the "urgency ... was misplaced," as Sullivan delicately puts it. In that they were right, according to Sullivan. A blogger who wanted to be a "solvent of ... rigidity" would swallow his pride and admit as much. ...

I've covered this annoying conceit of Sullivan's previously. Sullivan now pretty much opposes the decision to go to war in Iraq, and yet he maintains, oddly, that his previous hyperemotional advocacy for the invasion remains right-- and courageous, of course.

Like I said: Sullivan is free to critique the war and the decision that brought us to war. No one will take him seriously, however, until he has the "courage" (of which he never tires of claiming he has) to admit forthrightly: I, too, was wrong.

But, much like John Kerry, he maintains he was right on Iraq and Bush was wrong, despite the fact they shared at one time identical opinions.

At least until SondraK's assvertisements begin.

Must watch commercial for the VW Polo that deals with terrorism in a humorous, and deliciously satisfying, manner.

Thanks a bunch to JimW. Made my day.

Just a Thought: Kudos to VW and the firm that put this together for having the guts to do it.

I can't wait for the caterwauling about this. As if a terrorist scoring an "own goal" (in IRA parlance) is something we ought to be upset about.

Nope, Just a Spoof! Wizbang says this isn't a real commercial, but rather a spoof put together by... well, someone else.

Thanks to Sobek Pundit for informing me of my loose shit.

Still an awesome "ad," though!

As Wizbang says: Now they tell us.

Thanks to SondraK, who's offering an interesting and altogether unprecedented advertising scheme. Yes, for just $25, you can have an ad... posted on her ass.

Sorta beats the Budweiser frogs all to hell, doesn't it?

Gee, another one for the "Shocker" file, huh?

Yet another thing Rosie O'Donnell and Michael Moore have in common. That, and an emergency supply of bearclaws hidden in their fanny-packs.

Thanks to Alarming News, being triple-guest-hosted by Jessica, Dawn, and Dorian.
