To brave cancer sufferers on both sides of the aisle. Elizabeth Edwards here, and Tony Snow here. (Note: that last is a mailto with a predetermined subject line–if you change it, it probably won’t go to the intended recipient.)

It’s only ten bucks a year.
Both Maia’s lawyer and Stein said they had strong cases against the other, but both sides also said they had no foreseeable plans to file legal action against the other. In the wake of an increasingly nasty three-year-old feud that only ended with Seipp’s death, there’s a exhausted calm on both sides.
Iran Is Not A Legitimate State
So argues Mark Steyn:
How many times does the Islamic Republic have to (a) seize sovereign territory (the US embassy in Teheran); (b) order mob hits on foreign nationals (Salman Rushdie and his publishers); (c) perpetrate acts of state terrorism against citizens of countries with which it has no grievance whatsoever (the Buenos Aires community center bombing)? Its behavior has been consistent for three decades, yet, this time round as last time round, the British government calls in the Iranian ambassador and gives him a stern talking to, as if he were the emissary of Poland or India or any other civilized state.
More From The Strange Mind
…of Lileks. On coins:
I upended the bag on the kitchen table, and whistled: wow. Junk. The dimes, for example, might fetch 10.001 cents today. I found many 1945 Mercury Dimes
Armadillo Videos
If you want a flavor of what we saw at the conference last week, Armadillo has put their latest videos on the web.

They’re really cheap, and hosting is very cheap as well these days. I’ve had Blogspot banned for many months now, because the splogging had gotten totally out of control, and now I’m getting tons of spam from Live Journal. I’ll probably have to ban that as well.

Another Reason I’m Not A Conservative
Neal Boortz explains:
…there’s more. Sunday’s Atlanta Journal-Constitution tells us about another website, this one run by Andrew Schlafly, the son of Phyllis Schlafly. Conservapedia pushes the creationism theme with revelations that dinosaurs and humans roamed the Earth at the same time. You’ll also learn that atheism has led to a large increase in bestiality. But once again you’ll learn that not only is the Earth standing still, but it’s actually flat … and sitting still in space while everything revolves around it.
Tell me .. how do you counter the “conservatives are ignorant” argument, and how do you manage to recruit more people to the cause of lower taxes, less government and more individual responsibility when you have people running around loose calling themselves conservatives, getting elected to office as conservatives, and running websites as conservatives all the while telling us that the earth does not spin on its axis and does not revolve around the Sun .. and that everything in the known universe revolves around the Earth?
