Powerline awards it to Norman Podhoretz’s “World War IV: The Long Struggle Against Islamo-Fascism” and will deliver an anonymous donor’s $25,000 in Podhoretz’s name to Soldier’s Angels. Powerline is out-awarding the majors … Pulitzer, National Book Critics Circle … and for a good cause. I’d call it a blogosphere arrival moment, echoing Scott at Powerline who, in true [...]

It’s all part of Tim’s recovery, along with a couple of young lovelies. The flowers from an unquestionably hetero infidel Crusader dog in Afghanistan are great, very touching. But it’s the hilarious organ spillage upon sudden brakeage that has caught my imagination. It’s got a bit of a Max Fleischer* sound to it.
