The "Open Season" video was apparently just the victim of a slow counter or updating lag or something. It now shows a lot more views.

This isn't a correction so much as a caveat. AllahPundit has read the AP's allegedly-edited responses, and doesn't believe the the cited responses were actually ever exactly the same. They seem to have been issued at two different times and, while substantially similar, are not perfectly similar. So it's not clear that AP has stealth-edited either of them; we may just be looking at a different version of the response that never included the "confirmation" by hospital and morgue workers.

Although Allah does wonder -- given that this other response was issued later, why didn't/wouldn't it contain a reference to that "confirmation"? Seems like a major deal; certainly the AP played it up.

Was this particular "confirmation" walked away from/"rowed back" far earlier than we knew?

Via Allah. No link; I presume he got it off the TV.

Of course he's right when he says this will be blamed on Michelle Malkin.

Chrissy Matthews interviews him on The View. At least I think it's the view. Chrissy's got bigger knockers than Elizabeth Hasselback. They discuss waterboarding Dick Cheney.

Once you're done gagging on that, read the Bizzaro World version of the interview, done by Mrs. R (also known as Mrs. Wuzzadem), in which it is hypothesized that Chris Matthews does not have a vagina, and so asks difficult questions of Damon and the slightly-retarded Robert DeNiro.

Big damn Drudge siren.

Former New York Times reporter Judith Miller and NBC News Washington bureau chief Tim Russert are expected to be prosecution witnesses. Libby's lawyers said in court papers that several reporters will testify on Libby's behalf.

Two unidentified reporters may resist testifying, Libby's attorneys said, but they expect to resolve that issue before trial.

Libby also has sought a subpoena for the tape of Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward's interview with former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage. Armitage has admitted he discussed Plame's job with Woodward in 2003 but said it was a passing, inadvertent comment.

If admitted into evidence, the tape could be played at trial. The tape has been turned over to prosecutors, and Libby's attorneys said they expect no objection to their subpoena.

Cheney, who would be the trial's most anticipated witness, has said he may be called to testify. If so, prosecutors could ask how the White House responded to Wilson's criticisms. Cheney was upset by Wilson's comments, Fitzgerald has said, and told Libby that Plame worked for the CIA.

That conversation is a key to Fitzgerald's perjury case. Libby testified that he learned about Plame's job from a reporter.

Well, the thing is, one can hear something from two different people, can't one?

With video. A hidden camera was installed, and one vandal, Robert Snell, was caught after the third time. (No footage of that, alas.)

family in Ohio was prey to holiday vandals recently. Their lawn decorations were attacked by neighborhood scrooges.

The holiday grinches have been knocking the wind out of frosty.

A hidden camera caught two people stabbing repeatedly an inflatable snowman.

...

Williquette has seen this happen twice before in the last three weeks, "They slashed him there and they also got him in the head twice."

Inside Frosty's mangled torso; Matt found a screwdriver and footprints on the nylon.

"Mangled torso." Heh.

...

Isaac Lindquist says, "It was terrible, real terrible. They are the nicest people and I can't imagine why anybody would be after them specifically."

I don't know if they're after the family so much as if they're after Frosty, who pretty much everyone hates.

Frosty the Snowman was always the weak link in the children's Santa-Rudolph-Frosty fantasy. Santa-- well, you bought into him without question. Flying reindeer were harder to believe, but if Santa was to make all those deliveries in one long night, he'd need a magical transport, right?

But Frosty? A talking frigging snowman animated by a stage magician's hat? That one even stupid kids gagged on. And it made them question Santa.

I know I personally found out Santa wasn't real when I questioned the Frosty the Snowman bullshit. I just wanted my Mom to confirm this idiotic snow-golem was fake, but she took the opportunity to also tell me Santa wasn't real either.

Santa? Santa? Santa's not real?!?

I underwent this trauma all because of my strong doubts about Frosty the Abominable Snowjob. Slightly less plausible than even the Tooth Fairy. (And no one cared if the Tooth Fairy was real or not anyway.)

Good riddance to bad slush.

Thanks to Dan Riehl.

Also check out Kofi Annan, a corrupt millionaire in his own right, and married to a very wealthy Sweidsh heiress, conniving to retain his government-subsidized apartment while poor people in NY are on a four-year wait-list for such housing.

Question: If you discovered the Horrible Truth from your parents, they probably told you not to tell other kids, to let other kids live with their fantasies, and let their own parents tell them.

Did you? Or did go out there and evangelize for Santa Atheism?

I did the latter. It was just too juicy.

I only wish I'd had a blog at that age. The flaming skull would have been up for the MSM (Mainstream Mom) Santa Lie. I would have started the 12/25 Truther movement with a documentary called "Loose Elves."

I would've got me some serious hits.

A continent of homos.

Dutch women are getting bigger breasts and 32 percent of them now have a D-cup or bigger compared with 20 percent five years ago.

In Europe, Dutch women are ranked third behind British and Danish women in terms of bra size, research commissioned by Bodyfashion Promotion indicated on Wednesday.

Some 42 percent of women aged 30-39 have D-cup breasts and feel in general okay about that. Women with a large bra size are now the largest group in the Netherlands.

...

Some 44 percent of surveyed girls aged 12-19 think that eating fatty foods helps increase the size of their breasts.

All survey respondents said poor nutrition habits are the cause of increased breast size. Hormones in food and the general increasing size of the population are also leading to bigger breasts.

Poor nutrition? I'd say that's some damn fine nutrition myself. These European whores should eat nothing but Count Chocula, hot dogs with 95% "beef fillers," and genetically-modified Cheez Whiz.

Thanks to Brian.

He's seizing! Give him 1000 cc's of Smirnoff, stat!

Ah, alcohol. The solution to, and cause of, all of life's problems, as Prof. Simpson says.

Says she was just "caught up in the whirlwind of New York" when she was allegedly screwing club promoters in bathrooms for drugs, apparently unaware that she's had a reputation for this sort of thing even back in her little heartland hometown of Russell, Ky.

He says "some" of what's been reported about her isn't true.

I'd say that means "most" of it is true. If not all of it.

Screwing a lot of guys is... well, dirty, but I guess they could give that a pass. It's the sex-for-drugs virtual prostitution thing that's the killer. How she gets a pass on this I don't know.

More at Allah Pundit. My theory? The moment she's fired, she goes into porn, and Trump wants a "decent interval" between her reign as Miss USA and that inevitability.

I guess this is the reason they so rarely choose genuinely-hot chicks as pageant winners.

Warden has set up a forum for AoS commenters to discuss investments.

Personally, I think this is the worst idea I've heard in my life.

I'm sure you're all too stupid to see the inherent problems with this idea, though.

Warden has to approve all commenters, to screen out in the riff-raff, so it may take a day to be approved once you sign up.

Looks that way. Nick tips:

it looks like youtube employees froze the view counter on the Open Season video. no matter how many times you watch the video it stays at 27,111. It's been there all day. others have noticed this too. YouTube = cowards.

Update: Yup. Frozen at 27,111. Cute.

Do they freeze Truther videos too, I wonder?

Counters Broken? A commenter says that counters for other videos aren't moving either, so this might just be a site-wide glitch.
