At my ballsy best

Crate art for bloggers from Tild. Words can scarcely express how cool they are so do click for the others (Disco Stoo’s is the coolest, hands down).

And yes, those are hedgeballs being served up. A bit of illusionary license from Tild who, I think, has a pretty good idea which green leafy plant is actually preferred by T. Hussein Mississippifarian (or maybe she’s suggesting I have a third testicle, I’m not sure).

Vick interviews Naomi “Shock Doctrine” Klein. Great audio clip — recommended in lieu of the usual Sunday morning TV bullshitters.

I’m not a huge fan of a lot of architecture, but I do know what I like. Rem Koolhaas’ design for CCTV in China is way cool.

For the cat lovers among us.

Tristero on PZ and the Catholics, plus a bonus post explaining that there is such a thing as a good Catholic, i.e., one who doesn’t send death threats to critics of the church.

PZ vettes his hate mail and finds that over twenty of his haters use the same IP address. I’m guessing it’s in Vatican City, but PZ doesn’t say, altho he does post some examples that display the discrete charm of the Opusdeioisie.

Atrios discovers durian-flavored wafers. I misread the copy at first, and thought someone was selling Durian-flavored water, something even the Japanese wouldn’t drink, I suspect.

I haven’t been able to get Firedoglake to load for days now, even though I can read them through their RSS feed. For some reason I thought this TBogg was worth linking to, but I can’t tell you why because the page won’t open for me now. Maybe you’ll have better luck and can report back your findings in the comments.

FDL has always had a problem with their ads. Bloggers don’t have much of a choice, but I don’t know why major publications allow ads to be hosted on external servers. That’s just asking for trouble, imho.

Video of the the George Bush crony selling White House access here, commentary from John Cole here.

Rarely has the stench of hypocrisy been so strong, or well documented. Watch your local media closely to see if there’s any mention of this scandal in the coming days. I’m betting not. After all, you still have to read the Canadian press to learn details of how our government tortured an Afghan teenager at Gitmo.

If Joe fucking Lieberman speaks at the RNC, word is that the Democrats will finally boot him from their Congressional caucus. The rumor must be true, I got it from Robert “Prince of Darkness” Novak.

Jobbing the polls (because Newsweek would rather be wrong than publish a poll showing McCain getting creamed).

All part and parcel of why Republicans are losers as amply illustrated by No Quarter, Larry Johnson’s Republicans for Hillary blog.
