Item. Fortunately for her, non-Muslim Britons don’t go in for “honor killings” any more. (And I don’t see any burqa on that bint….)

Cartoon. Simple, yet elegant.

Item. I bet you thought that this stuff doesn’t happen any more.

Item. The Gore Effect in action.

Less useful but more amusing are the Google AdSense ads that show up on Steve’s page.

Item. Seems like a lot of work just to stun somebody.

Item. The crack young staff of the Hatemonger’s Quarterly are on the case.

Any medium that serves as a launching pad for someone as mind-bogglingly obtuse and offensive as Wonkette deserves its share of scorn.

Hard to argue with.

Item. Well, they’ve been wheezing their way toward the graveyard since John Major….

Item. Bryan’s book makes the WSJ.

At a time when “American Idol” draws more voters than most local elections, or when Larry King’s questions seem dumber than Paris Hilton’s answers, one is reluctant to dismiss Mr. Caplan as just another ivory-tower elitist.

Indeed.

Item. Didn’t know that was a problem. Apparently it is.

Item. So when Greenland gets as warm as when the Vikings lived there a thousand years ago, I’ll start worrying about Global Warming.

Item. Some people are too dumb to live.

Item. Yeah, well, being poor would give me a headache, too.

Among those deaths: the fatal beatings in 1986 of Tony Spilotro, a chief enforcer in Las Vegas known as the Ant, and his brother, Michael, who were found buried in an Indiana cornfield.

Item. Every Noble Cause is a marketing opportunity. God bless America.

Item. I was wondering when they would figure it out.

Item. Oooo, don’t tell AlGore.

Item.Not even AlGore has the money to cover those bets.

Item. A few of the many reasons why I don’t fly.

Even the pinkos in Britain write well. Perhaps we could get up some sort of an exchange program.

Item. That might explain Al Sharpton.

Item. To the New York Times, of course, NASCAR fans aren’t really Americans at all, just some kinda furriners that live in the wilds of Non-Coastal America.

Item.

The fight over a popular health insurance program for children is intensifying, with President Bush now leading efforts to block a major expansion of the program, which is a top priority for Congressional Democrats.
