They only arrested them and threw them in jail? Why didn’t they simply hang them from the tree? After all, trees are much more important than children.
Bulls Eye?
Has anyone noticed that the leftist trolls who have been infesting the place recently haven’t had much to say about Lileks’ latest screed?

Does anyone know if there’s way to get Moveable Type to display comments on a certain date, or some other script that would do that, and allow their deletion? Somehow I was hit with many hundreds of comment spams back on May 5th of this year, and they apparently came in so fast that MT didn’t even send me email notifications of them. I’ve been looking at old posts, and they’re infested with them. Furthermore, they aren’t even blacklistable–the URLs are nonsense strings of characters (what was that all about, other than pure vandalism?).
I’ve been going through and deleting them as I find them, but it would take a long time to look at every one of thousands of posts. It would be nice to just see comments that were posted on that date. I’m sure that it would be possible to write such a script, but I’m wondering if one exists.
“An Extension Of Iran”
An interesting interview with Walid Phares, on the Middle East:
The U.S. and its allies can be accused of certain shortcomings as well. While the speeches by the U.S. president, congressional leaders from both parties, Tony Blair, and Jacques Chirac were right on target regarding Lebanon, and while the U.S. and its counterparts on the Security Council were diligent in their follow up on the Hariri assassination and on implementing UNSCR 1559, there was no policy or plan to support the popular movement in Lebanon. Incredibly, while billions were spent on the war of ideas in the region, Lebanese NGOs that wanted to resume the struggle of the Cedar Revolution and fighting alone for this purpose were not taken seriously at various levels. Policy planners thought they were dealing with the

On The Spot
Clark Lindsey has dropped in on the Mars Society conference, which is in DC this year, and has some first-hand reports, on Mike Griffin’s speech and the latest from Elon Musk and SpaceX.
I haven’t spent much time reading them myself, being too busy, but when I do later, I may have some thoughts.
One question I do have, though. Just how big does Mike think is big enough for a heavy lifter for a Mars mission? How many decades does he plan to put off developing the critical technologies of orbital storage and handling of propellants, and vehicle assembly?
Don’t Know Much About History
Just in case you weren’t aware that Pat Robertson is an idiot:
The Rev. Pat Robertson said he hasn’t been a believer in global warming in the past, but this summer’s record-breaking heat is “making a convert out of me.”
Yes, we never had hot summers before we started driving those SUVs.
