Thomas Lifson at American Thinker writes about an Islamic domination angle that I hadn’t heard before: The Islamist Attack on Intellectual Property. A world without intellectual property sounds pretty bleak, and not just because my whole career is based on it. Wait, nevermind… it is because my whole career is based on it.

Virginia Centrists tries to rank the Top 100 Guitar Solos of All Time. Nice try, but no way does Stairway to Heaven rank 20 positions higher than Comfortably Numb. That’s just crazy talk!

These United for Peace and Justice folks truly deserve the label of “moonbats” for staging this kind of protest: Storm the White House. Any platform from any group that accuses the U.S. of “torture, occupation, and genocide” should automatically be ridiculed. I mean, I can see how someone might come up with torture and occupation, but genocide?

Puzzling question of the day: If the Iraqi Interior Minister knows that kidnapped reporter Jill Carroll is okay and where she is, why exactly hasn’t there been any rescue effort in all this time? Iraqis optimistic on kidnapped US reporter.

Dubai continues to be a popular topic of interest in the blogosphere, though many are just reporting about Port Fatigue. (I myself am no longer against the sale; now I’m just ambivalent about it.) In other news, William F. Buckley recently decided America failed in Iraq, and this is major news, because everyone from left to right has mentioned his article in the last few days. Also, comment spam sucks. Why oh why do blogging services provide automated APIs??
