From a Daily Kos diary:

Yes, for this Kossite, Joe Lieberman is another Saddam. If only the anti-war left hated genocidal dictators as much as they hate some Democrats.

Marilyn Manson out-argues Bill O’Reilly. Who couldn’t? Listening to O’Reilly lecture Manson about sex is particularly entertaining.

Michael Totten reports from the Israel/Lebanon border. At night.

If you’re a Republican in Tennessee and you are in a tough race, what do you do? Hey, your party isn’t a political organization; it’s God’s Own Party:

A Christian prayer group is hoping to provide Republican gubernatorial nominee Jim Bryson with some divine assistance during his campaign. The "Bryson Prayer Force" is inviting Christians to join its current 80 members in praying regularly for Bryson, his family and campaign staff. An e-mail sent out by the group included some suggested prayers. Weekly prayers are to be sent to those who have signed up to be part of the group.
"Pray for an open heaven over Jim and his team in each Tennessee county they visit, that the gates of each county would open to him and his team, and that the Lord’s divine favor will be granted to him everywhere he goes," reads one example. Blair Morgan, an attorney and vice treasurer of the Davidson County Republican party, is serving as state coordinator of Bryson Prayer Force.

Another part of the message:

"Pray for patience, endurance, stamina and joy to be experienced by all those on and participating in any way in the Bus Tour. Pray for a warring, Angelic Guard to go before them, clearing the way and surrounding them, and being their rear guard as they move throughout the State."

Do the Republicans know that the "Party of God" has already been trademarked? By Hezbollah.

The photo above was sent in from a reader attending an ANSWER rally this weekend – the group that organized most of the rallies against the Iraq war. More images from a recent Montreal rally here. San Francisco’s recent protest outdid some others. A classic:

Still in denial. But that’s their specialty. And their market share.

It’s looking more and more that way.

According to the Times of India, the Sri Lankan government just killed 43 children in an anti-terrorist action, when airstrikes repeatedly hit an orphanage in a rebel-held area. 60 girls were also wounded. I await the international condemnation. Maybe if the Israelis had done it, someone would care. But, hey, the Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world aren’t they? And all the child casualties of anti-terror campaigns.

Ahmadinejad joins the the blogosphere. Not a great start. A 2,300 word first entry? Still he knows he has some room for improvement: "From now onwards, I will try to make it simpler and shorter."
