"On the DL"

The official and glorious weblog of our Dear Leader

March 15, 2005

Woke up this morning and saw that the sun was shining and the temperature was perfect! (You're welcome, by the way) . . . thanks to my new invention which anticipates and corrects weather conditions. Spent the early morning golfing (shot a not-too-shabby 38) and then spent the rest of the day meeting the challenges of the next century.

Nuke Cams here and here (best viewed with a fast connection).

Atrios has an interesting post in which he speculates that what happened in Ohio during the recent "election" may have had its practice run in the 2002 mid-terms. He's done a lot of research into this and I'm not convinced he's wrong. I mean, something fishy had to have occurred there, especially in those suddenly all-Republican counties. Just from my personal experience, I can say that I didn't get one single comment from anyone who supported Bush, and my blog gets over 10,000,000 independent page-views a day! And they say I'm an unelected despot? WTF?

Fantastic exchange over at Daily Kos about all the hoopla and spin of the recent so-called elections in Iraq. I go over this in detail here and here and here. But the bottom line is, big deal. I'll believe it when I see it. We've got a lot of people over here with purple fingers (and toes, for that matter) and you don't see us turning it into a six-act play. Gimme a break. For the real story on this stuff, go to Kos or The Nation. I wish the MSM wasn't so monolithic!

Mickey Kaus at kausfiles wonders whether the troubles at CBS News are in some way connected to the continuing decline of interest in the front pages of WaPo and the NYT and the MSM in general. All I can say is, maybe. Maybe. That's the trouble with having all sorts of information available all the time. It's much better and more efficient to have one central place for people to get their news in a controlled and sanitized spot. Less distracting. Of course, if my blog was as one-sided as, say, The Corner, I'd hardly be the most widely read weblog in the world, would I? Heh.

Great news! According to this recent U.N.-sponsored study, we NoKos have the lowest incidence of childhood obesity--and the lowest rates of obesity among adults--in the whole world!

   Our study indicates that the population
   along the northern edge of the Korean
   Peninsula [snip] from [snip] low [snip]
   weight [snip] nutritional [snip] severe
   [snip] weight [snip] health . . .

Don't read the whole thing.

UPDATE: Let's all take this time--traditionally the "lunch hour"--to celebrate the recent U.N. findings by skipping lunch! Why slow ourselves down with a heavy meal? Just a few sips of warm water is all I need to keep the revolution rarin' to go. Did I say "warm" water? Doesn't have to be warm. In fact, researchers at the North Korean Nutritional Institute think that there are loads of health benefits from drinking only brackish standing water from naturally occurring ponds.

Not sure which side of the whole nukes/non-nukes Andrew Sullivan thinks he's on. My guess is that he's a plant by the reactionary forces who are trying to turn back the people's revolution here in our glorious homeland and elsewhere. But it's interesting that he's making such a big deal about Abu Ghraib. Methinks something's going on here. And I'm not the only one.

Flame Wars! Susan Estrich vs. Mike Kinsley, on the anti-female bias on the op-ed page of the LATimes. Gotta say, as much as I like and respect Kinsley--especially his thoughts on Jimmy Carter and the ridiculous anti-nuke treaty we didn't actually agree to--Susan Estrich makes me smile. Love her on Fox. If she wanted to, I'd gladly find her a place here in my organization.

From a poster at Democratic Underground:

   Couldn't it be that the racist empire-building
   neo-con(artists) in the
   Bushitler White (only) House are
   searching for a new demon to attack,
   like North Korea, a country that has to
   date never invaded anyone? Unlike us?

Couldn't put it better myself. Read the whole thing.

Dog blogging! Here's a jpeg of my wonderful new Labrador! Doesn't he look delicious?
