Blogging will be light today. I'm working on finishing up an interview with Chris Muir, which will probably appear some time this weekend.
If you're looking for something good to read today, though, you might want to see Daniel Henninger's piece on anti-anti-Americanism. The effete pseudo-intellectuals who spend so much time wringing their hands over how America's actions are "alienating people" should stop and wonder how their own crass and mean-spirited and selfish anti-Americanism is starting to alienate Americans.
Also, Jerry Kaufman has an interesting except from a piece by Gore advisor Martin Peretz on Kofi Annan. Pretty sharp stuff.
Also, Jonah Goldberg has a particularly good answer to Janeane Garofalo. I must confess, Ms. Garafalo has seriously wounded me. For years she was, no foolin', my fantasy girl. I have a fondness in my heart for surly, comic-book reading women with a sardonic attitude about shallow and stupid pop culture. Alas, she's cut me to the quick lately, with her shallow and profoundly ignorant comments. I guess that's what I get for taking any Hollywood celebrity seriously about anything.
Finally, I'll mention again the Women for a Free Iraq. Go read some of the essays on their site. It's worth it.
Hey. Jonah likes her, and while I don't think she's the best comic ever, she's certainly a lot smarter than most of the anti-war movement.
It's just that she says an incredible number of stupid things that lead me to believe she mastered the art of doublethink (literally) a long time ago.
Daniel Henninger nails it. What he says about France and Germany could just as easily go for the entire United Nations, too. Do you know what UN stands for? UNecessary.
I wonder if the anti-Americanism spouted by the Hollywood left will finally catch up with their beloved Democrats next November. Do you believe the American public just might finally catch on by throwing these bums out?
Repeated exposure to Hollywood horsepuckey did in poor Janeane, I truly believe.
I mean, who in their right mind actually would have preferred Uma Thurman in that Cats and Dogs thing?
Those poor, benighted souls that have no use for the female brain, CG!
I'm wondering how many conservables (or, if you prefer, liberatives [grin]) like Dean find Ms. Garafalo to be the shining example of: smart, sexy, funny, intelligent, but lousy politics?
Full disclosure: after The Truth About Cats & Dogs, I thought she was a total hottie myself. Yum...
