Heh
I was working on a very erudite, thoughtful, earth-shattering post for today, but by accidentally pushing two keys I managed to delete it. And now I'm really tired, so it's time to try Instablogging.
If I were the President, I'd officially declare today "National Blog Like Instapundit Day," thus giving me some cover for my lazy and uninspired efforts. But since I'm but a lowly super model/astronaut/spy, you are free to blog in whatever manner you choose -- although, Roger L. Simon told me all the cool people will be blogging like Glenn today.
Anyway, let's get started.
===============
It seems that Ann Coulter doesn't support the Miers nomination:
I'm a gyno-American, and I strenuously object.
[...]
Whatever else you think of them, the average Harvard Law School student is very smart.
While some have said that Ann might not have been totally truthful in the first statement, they do admire the way that she sucked up to VBen Shapiro in the second.
But Ann's real objection to Miers is not just that Miers is a Texan, and therefore, has a low I.Q.
The problem with Miers is something entirely different -- and entirely within the meaning of "advice and consent": Miers is no more qualified to sit on the Supreme Court than I am to be a sumo wrestler.
As one of my readers (or somebody) wrote:
Of course, what Ann really meant to say was, "I am just as qualified to sit on the Supreme Court as Harriet is, so why wasn't I tapped for the job? Is it because I didn't say George was 'cool' and 'the greatest,' but instead wasted my time by gushing that Dick Cheney was 'my ideal man" and that I found him 'extremely sexy'? If so, I want to change my answer."
Interesting, if true.

The brilliant and sexy Michael Bérubé made the following comment here at our humble blog:
OT, World O', but your wonderful May 23 post on Nicole Krogman, serial plagiarist, has come apart at the html seams for some reason. It's cached at World O'Crap and you may want to restore the brilliant original. Not least because I'm quoting it in my forthcoming book--
We didn't post this comment so we can brag about being included in Michael's forthcoming book. That wasn't the reason at all. No, we mentioned the fact that we are being quoted in a very prestigious book by one of the smartest people in the Blogosphere in order to to solicit your opinion about the following something.
So, here's our question: Does the post mentioned by Michael look messed up to you? (It looks fine to us, but we managed to delete a post tonight -- TWICE -- so we're obviously not computer experts.)
And if it the margins are wacky, do you have any ideas of what's wrong and how to fix it? (We tried deleting some images from the posts that preceded this one, since that's the only thing we know how to do, but if things are still messed up, we'd appreciate some advice.)
Consider this an NRO-style bleg.

Well gee, Dr. Bérubé, I guess you big-bucks, no-labor lefty academics all own two-foot wide plasma monitors. Must be nice.
Heh.
=====================
And speaking of the witty and sexy Mr. Riley, in a post entitled "I Got Dem Term'nally Suburban, All Outta Bourbon, Leaf Blowin', Snow Throwin', Natcher'l Gas Middle Class Blues," he covers a topic we can all relate to: caulking.
It's winterizing time here in the Great Midwest, which this year means that thanks to my numb-nutted fellow citizens who felt that electing a coke-addled legacy oilman with a dishwater IQ would ensure their cherished fantasies of terror and mayhem would remain our #1 excuse for making criminally stupid decisions, we're looking at a 25% increase in natural gas prices at least. If nothing else we get to relive the 70s, which at least makes me feel young again.
Heh-deedy! Read the whole thing.

Many bloggers are writing about reports that Bush uses staged event to try to rally war support. While some are shocked, SHOCKED to learn that Bush stages these question and answer sessions, what they aren't mentioning is that Poll Shows Bush's Rating Dips to New Low. Maybe there is a connection.
(Okay, maybe the other bloggers are mentioning it -- hell, it's not my job to find out. And it's not my job to read the articles I cite and tell you what they mean -- I'm just here to cut and paste, okay?)
Update:
The sexy and all-knowing man who blogs at Crooks and Liars has the audio of the rehearsal of the troops. As you know, hosting all that audio and video gets to be expensive, so donate to the C&L cause if you can spare a few bucks.
===============================
In her column "The Clinton scar on America," the wacky and lovable Felicia "Fee" BenamonIn informs us that:
[Louis] Freeh has decided to come public in his new book My FBI and has agreed to sit down and discuss to CBS about his strained relationship with Former President Clinton.
Indeed.
However, in a piece called "The demise of global communications security," some guy on the Internets suggests that Freeh was working for the Soviets.
The Russians may have received additional information on the Crypto units from longtime Soviet and Russian FBI spy Robert Hanssen. CIA sources claim Hanssen could not have gotten his job without high-level support from more senior FBI officials, including his Opus Dei co-religionist and personal friend Louis Freeh, Jr., the FBI director.
So, Freeh may also be a spy -- interesting, if true.
The Internets guy also notes a tie between Scooter Libby and Mossad:
According to U.S. intelligence sources, shortly after the revelations by Buehler and other Crypto engineers about the NSA project [being compromised by Jonathan Pollard], Switzerland-based international billionaire fugitive and suspected Mossad asset Marc Rich stepped in and invested heavily in Crypto AG's to boost its deflated stock values. Rich was pardoned by President Clinton in January 2001 in an eleventh hour deal partly negotiated by Rich's attorney (and current Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff and CIA "Leakgate" suspect) I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby.
So, Scooter may be a double traitor -- very interesting, if true.
But back to Fee, for more info about how Clinton scarred America, and about how Bush is scar cream:
President George W. Bush has said that we will hunt down terrorists who were responsible for 911, and he meant it! President Bush is a man of his word!
Fee's right! I'm sure we all remember when he was asked at a news conference why he doesn't mention Osama bin Laden any more, President George W. Bush said:
You know, I just don't spend that much time on him, Kelly, to be honest with you. [...] I'll repeat what I said. I truly am not that concerned about him.
A man of his word.
Indeed.
=============================
The industrious and well-read JABBS uncovers some statements by Jay Sekulow (head of People for the American Way) about the role that faith should play when considering somebody for a position on the Supreme Court. (Interestingly enough, what applies in the case of a Judge Roberts doesn't apply in the case of a Not-Judge Miers.)
===========================
And speaking of changed views, the manly and nice guy who blogs at No More Mister Nice Blog reports on Jerome "Swift Boat Liar" Corsi's new thoughts on how George Bush's selection for the Texas Air National Guard ....
============================
Remember our former Idiot of the Day Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse (you know, the Hoover Fellow who claimed that you can't suspend the laws of cause and effect by having sex without it resulting in a live baby nine months later)?
Well, it seems that the Canadian and non-American Seb (AKA Dr. Sadly, No!) found her views intriguing and wanted to subscribe to her newsletter. First, however, he had to describe his interest in Dr. Morse.
It's multiple choice though, so there is no chance to answer lust. Still, some of the choices are pretty good:
1. I have responsibility for a large organization, and we're looking for help dealing with political correctness.
2. I have responsibility for a large organization, and we need a coach for the culture wars.
3. I have been cohabiting too long.
Heh. Read the whole thing.
========================
The rich and powerful TBogg gives us the inside dope on what the book makers are saying about Karl Rove's future in the White House, and explains what that means to YOU (basically, that there will soon be a job opening as a senior White House advisor, so you might want to update your resume).
He also claims to have once been dealt a royal flush in his opening poker hand. Interesting, if true.
Read the whole thing.
=========================
Julia provides a disturbing photo of that "staged event," and then she asks some probing questions about the lump on George's back -- and about the thing in his ear. Are the rumors about George being controlled by Dick Cheney (via secret Halliburton technology) true?
If so, that would be pretty interesting.
================
Well, that's Insta-it for me. Now, go somewhere else and read the whole thing.
