OK, is it just me? Even after fixing my Amazon search problem by moving it to the center column, it is still not showing up in Firefox in Fedora. Can anyone else running that browser/OS confirm the same problem? If my computer is the only one in the world that doesn’t see it, I can deal with it, but I’d hate to think that a lot of my readers aren’t.
Toss Them Overboard
I’m reminded by a commenter that today is the 234th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party. I had never really thought about the date before–it hadn’t occurred to me that it took place in the winter in Boston. What did Narragansetts wear in that clime?
Anyway, sometimes, particularly given how little difference there is between the two parties, I think we’re overdue for another one.
This little counterfactual (for people who came here via Instapundit) is one of the reasons.
Why The Terrorists Hate Us
Because we put birds inside other birds.
Just an extreme example of the lunacy and denial on the part of the left about the Islamists.
And here are some related thoughts on denial in Canada about the Religion of Peace™:
It’s cultural, it’s because of colonialism, it’s because of Palestine, because of Iraq, because of misunderstanding. Because of anything other than Islam.
Only a bigot would argue that every Muslim was violent or opposed to Western freedom. But only a coward or a liar would argue that there was not a profound and deeply worrying link between conservative Islam and myriad acts of terror, intolerance and hysterical anger.

OK, I Know
I just accidentally munged my archive pages. I’ll try to figure it out, but I may have to await my webmaster.
Anyway, I’ve given up on putting the search tool in the sidebar, since it insists on being 180p wide, and I don’t want to do a site redesign for it right now, so it’s going in the top.
For those planning to shop at Amazon, if you use the search bar, I’ll get a cut. It’s a way of supporting the site by doing something you were going to do anyway. And tomorrow’s the last day for Super Saver shipping before Christmas. And thanks in advance for anyone who does!
This Is A Test
I want to add an Amazon search button to my template, and I have (right below the Amazon Honor System box to the left). But it doesn’t show up, as it does in this post. Can anyone take a look at the source and tell me why?
[Update]
Oh, this is weird. Not only does it not show up in the sidebar, but when it shows up in this post, it doesn’t show as a searchbox–it comes in as Jonah’s new book. When I did “Post Preview” it was fine, but something strange is going on here when it actually posts to the page.
