My grilled animals didn’t taste quite as good when I read this:

Other supporters, including Penn, Sarandon, novelist Alice Walker and actor Danny Glover will join a ‘rolling” fast, a relay in which 2,700 activists pledge to refuse food for at least 24 hours, and then hand over to a comrade.

But they still tasted pretty good.

Aren’t these people pathetic? They call us chickenhawks, but they can’t even be bothered to go hungry for more than one day to defend their so-called principles. Are they really so daft as to imagine that anyone will care about this “sacrifice”?

Don’t answer that question.

You know, I hadn’t done the math before, but this makes it even funnier. With 2700 people at one “strike” (read: too busy to eat for a few hours) per person per day, this could go on for almost a decade. Yes, I’m sure it will be front-page news every day…

The Church is finally standing up to Islam.

Oil is flowing freely in northern Iraq, at least temporarily. Knocking off the Zarkman can’t have hurt.

Moscow says that it’s not the insurgents’ fault, but ours, that their diplomats were killed.

…and what are they going to do about these phone tappers?

The Sunday Telegraph newspaper quoted a document sent to soldiers of the Territorial Army’s (TA) London Regiment, which has soldiers fighting in Iraq.

The document warned that insurgents in southern Iraq had managed to obtain the home telephone numbers of British soldiers using electronic intercept devices.

It said there had been many instances in the last weeks of relatives and friends of personnel serving abroad on operations getting nuisance phone calls”.
