That's the new recommended term for the MSM and, with their recent behavior on Van Jones and ACORN, it seems appropriate.

Reynolds, Sullivan, Johnson and Den Beste. 

And then there was one.  Sadly, the great Den Beste chose to remove himself from the world of political blogging.  Even more sadly, Sullivan and now Johnson went completely off the deep end into what could charitably be called eccentric states.

Sometimes I really miss the old days.  Of course, back then I had about three readers.

I hate to bother you guys, but I'm trying to set up a little thing where around a dozen young ladies from a certain Central American country provide, well, certain "services" for clients of mine, if you know what I mean.  I'm having trouble finding housing for them, and I'm also looking for some tax advice regarding any deductions I might be eligible for, seeing as how I'm hosting these young ladies and that ain't exactly cheap.  And "hostin' ain't easy," you know? 

The thing is, I've checked out various MSM sources, and they don't have anything to say about this kind of situation, which I'm sure other people may have worked on.  You would think they might at least have something about an issue like this covered by some of their reporters who deal with consumer affairs (hey, we're in a recession that Barack Obama inherited from George W. Bush, after all!) but I can't find much of anything about issues like these from the people we depend upon for information!  You'd think they would be all over something like this, but, unfortunately, they aren't providing much of anything on this subject.

What it comes down to is this: I've got a group of kids (and I can't stress enough that these are kids) who would like to come to this country and interact with Americans.  In fact, I would like these kids to form intimate relationships with Americans, if possible.

Is there an organization that any of you could recommend that might offer me some assistance with this project?

Just to be clear, if it was Satan himself as President of the United States, I'd still be opposing this piece of shit legislation on the merits. 

I think there needs to be a Godwin's Law about the accusation of racism forthwith.

Samurai swords don't kill people, people kill people:

he student told the man he found inside his garage to leave and the man accosted him. That's when Guglielmi says the student defended himself, cutting off the man's hand and causing a severe laceration to his upper body.

He says the man died on the scene, but police are not yet releasing his name.

The dead man had an extensive burglary rap sheet and was released from Baltimore County on Saturday, Guglielmi said.

Police are interviewing the student and others and are talking to prosecutors about whether to file charges.

So, is it a bad thing that my 4 year old daughter can take an old cell phone and act as though she is texting? Is it a bad thing that she holds up the phone and says, "look, one of my computer friends sent me a text"? And is it bad that she says, "Daddy always does this when he takes me to the park or the carnival"?

Not that that has ever happened to me. No way.

More pics below the fold for bandwidth control.

Tomorrow I will be writing a screed on leaving political commentary out of memorial speeches.  Today I choose to remember the heroes of Flight 93.

I'd just like to say, yes,  that's exactly what we're doing.

We're going to do everything we can to destroy your credibility and happiness you fucking lunatic.  After all, Trig Palin never did anything to anyone but you really are a criminal who needs to get the fuck out of my country.

I'd call it a character assassination but you can't murder something that doesn't exist.

September 5th, 2009
2000 Meters Below Pyongyang

Cobra Kim-Ander:  It has been too long since we have struck at out hated enemies in rebel Korea! 

Destro:  *irritatedly looks up from his US Weekly magazine*

Sienna Miller:  Yeah, I hate those guys.  *fiddles with microwave burrito wrapper*

Cobra Kim-Ander:  Don't worry, I have an awesome plan to strike terror into their hearts and finally smash the imperialist running-dogs for good!

Destro:  *look switches from irritated to skeptical*

Sienna Miller:  Really?  *tears microwave burrito wrapper apart violently, dropping the contents on the floor*

Cobra Kim-Ander: Oh yes, it is my most diabolical plan yet!  Future generations will shudder in terror at the mere thought of it.  Children will tremble in their beds! 

Sienna Miller:  *Bends over slowly to pick up burrito.  Dusts it off.  Places in microwave*  Yeah?

Destro:  *blank stare*

Cobra Kim-Ander:  We're going to open the dam and flood them to death!!!  They'll never see it coming!

Destro:  *facepalm*

Sienna Miller:  *boop beep boop beep boop*  It has a door?

Cobra Kim-Ander:  No, its brilliant!  The river on the other side of the dam flows into rebellious Korea.  When they realize we have this ability they'll bend to our will like a reed in the wind!

Sienna Miller:  My TITS ARE SMOKING!!!

Cobra Kim-Ander:  We know you're hot.  Try to pay attention.

Sienna Miller:  No, they're on FIRE!!!

Cobra Kim-Ander:  Holy shit, how'd you do that with a microwave?  *splashes her with water*

Destro:  *facepalm*

Althouse is hard to put into a category.
She has all the hallmarks of a doctrinaire leftist, and she often comes across as one, but she's not. I've always though she's one of the more interesting bloggers on the web. Her comments and trackbacks are fun too as she's called a tool of: The Patriarchy, The Wingnutosphere, The Sinestrosphere and more. Often in the same thread.
I've picked on her for being "fooled" by Obama and now saying, "Where's the Obama I was promised?".
But when she's skewering a self-important/toolistic lefty, she's about funny.
What people?! The people! The people! You know: THE PEOPLE!!!! The PEOPLE WITH GUNNNNNNSSSSSSSSSS.........

RTWT, heh, indeed.
Update: For the record, I saw it at Althouse's before I saw it at Instapundit.

That said, am I the only one who finds the name of this new burger kind of funny?

(And if you have to ask why I think it's funny, trust me, you don't want to know.)

The previous post has my Moron brain spinning but I can't find some statistics I'm looking for.

1) How much oil has been recovered or discovered in total in all of history. Basically, to our knowledge, how much total oil have we found ever?

2) How much base plan matter does it take to make one barrel of oil?

3) How much total biological mass exists on the planet's surface RIGHT NOW?

Anyone know where I can find this stuff?

Update: Okay, here's why I asked. I wanted to see if we could get a rough idea of how much biomass it would take to generate as many fossil fuels as we see. I'm inclined to think it is absurd to think surface biomass accounts for all of it.   Warning, what is below is not really scientific.  Its just me fiddling with numbers to get an idea of the scales involved.   In fact, its probably really stupid but I'm a moron and my bullshit detector tells me that how science explains fossil fuels, like the environment, is missing several major details.

Updated with a h/t to Texas Scribbler. Don't worry, he's not a Cowboy's fan.
This article is about finding oil more than 5 miles below the Gulf of Mexico.
First, I didn't realize we could drill that deeply. That's cool.

They kept finding that wells would refill after a time, as if they had a reservoir that refilled them.
So BP drilled deeper, down to 35,055 feet, and found a huge reserve, which is cool, but the article had this bit almost as an aside.
This observation, as well as the discovery of vast gas deposits at depths of 10,000 feet and more, has led to a theory that oil and gas deposits are not the fossilized remains of organic matter from the ancient surface of the earth, but are instead a product of organic processes at work underneath the surface of the planet.

That makes sense. We don't have to dig that deeply to find dead stuff from hundreds of millions or even billions of years ago, how else would it get there? I'm pretty sure that "organic" is in the chemical sense of "with carbon" and not the "used to be alive" meaning that most people think of first.
That means any random planet, or even all, could have oil.

That's cool. That means we can go to even inhospitable planets and start polluting them right away.
Think of the hilarity as eco-wackos freak out over "releasing greenhouse gases" into Mars' atmosphere.
That could actually make terra-forming Mars possible. Just keep burning oil, lots of sweet, sweet oil, getting CO2 into the atmosphere, thicken it up with lots of smog (ozone) and then you could introduce plants to create O2 and then you introduce animals. 
It's so crazy, it could work.

This is also one of the things that makes me laugh, in my lifetime oil has gone from being dead dinosaurs to dead vegetable matter to possibly just carbon trapped in the interior and having pressure and heat turn it into oil instead of diamonds.
Just like dinosaurs went from slow-moving, cold-blooded precursors to reptiles to much more mobile, warm-blooded precursors to birds.
In 20 years, we'll have descended from raptors who were mutated in the Yucatan strike (they rode the tidal wave to Africa) and all the oil in the Universe will have been created in the Big Bang and it's never going to be created again because of some theory of quantum biology.
