Good old c-log:
Environmental groups have blocked DDT use for more than 30 years despite the fact that more than one million people, mostly children under 5, die every year from malaria.
Take it away, Tim:
What about the ban on using DDT to fight malaria? There is no such ban. DDT is banned from agricultural use (and rightly so because of environmental damage) but can still be used for disease prevention.
Sadly, No! friend Debbie Schlussel writes:
[Montel Williams’] Producers told me they would bring on a liberal commentator to “balance” me out, but instead they brought in TWO, plus others. In this case, it was two former Clintonistas (two liberals who worked at the Clinton White House) including this guy[.]
Simpsons Episode “Krusty For Congress“:
Welcome to Fox News. Your Voice for Evil. Tonight we’ll be interviewing the top two candidates for Springfield’s 24th congressional district. For the Republicans? Beloved children’s entertainer, Krusty the Clown. And for the Democrats, this guy.

Dear Google & Palm, your Treo 700 doesn’t work on Blogger
by John in DC – 5/02/2006 11:06:00 AMDear Google and Palm,
Through the wonders of the Treo 650, Joe in DC is able to blog on the road, which is a great help when I’m off knoodling with Katherine Harris and Jeff Gannon.
But then Joe went and bought the new Treo 700, and guess what? It doesn’t work when you pull up Blogger.com. We can’t log in to Blogger, and the folks at Palm tell us that they had the same problem using Blogger with the 700, and it must be a problem with the Blogger page being incompatible with the Treo 700.
Now, Joe in DC isn’t the only blogger to use a Treo. I know for a fact that lots of them do, and I also know that I was going to get the new Treo 700 to blog on the road, until I found out that it doesn’t work with Blogger.
“I say, Joe. How’s the new PDA working out?”
“Bit of a muddle, John, old chap.”
“Oh, bother…”
Now, here’s the deal. Joe has talked to the Palm folks on the phone. They say the problem is Blogger. I’ve emailed the folks at Google (who own blogger) and haven’t gotten any response at all.
Someone needs to fix this little problem or a lot of bloggers are going to be mighty surprised when they buy the Treo 700 and realize they can’t blog anymore. That mean’s they’re going to return the Treo 700, and that isn’t good news for Treo. Or, they’re going to keep the Treo 700 and move their blogs off of Blogger – and that isn’t good for Blogger.
So, Treo/Palm and Blogger, can you two please get together and fix this?
Love, John and Joe
Color us quite nonplused, Google. Upgrading to the Treo 700 is essential for the blogger who prizes enhanced slimness and fashion-forwardness in a PDA, as so many bloggers do.
Left: Massive, unwieldy Treo 650 (2005). Right: Slim, elegant Treo 700 (2006).
Do they expect us to live in caves, communicating with grunts and ughs and clad in Mastodon hide shifts?
“My God! I asked Conchita to use the special glass cleaner near the babies!”
We’ve engineered a workaround. It enables readers to have access to nearly all of Americablog’s daily political content whilst circumventing the ongoing infelicity that is the Palm Treo. http://americablog.com
Romano Prodi has two right arms* and wears two watches.
We suspect it’s the result of a “tractor story.”
* Some people call those left arms.
The right-wingers have us outgunned in the humor department, sure enough, but I know we can master the ‘snappy comeback’ thing at least. It can’t be so hard. See, when moonbat trolls get fancy with even Debbie Schlussel, her slapdowns seem effortless — and it might be a matter of craft and long practice even in Debbie’s case, but I think there’s actually just a secret method to them.
Debbie likes those textured tops, and so do we.
God how do you fucking small-minded, whining & scared silly rubes manage to get yourselves out of bed in the morning?
Mommy I’m scared, there’s an illegal alien hiding in my wardrobe.
Oh daddy, help me, Islamo-fascists are oppressing my freedom, I can’t manage to eat my huge fat-as-fuck American breakfast.
I’m surprised you panic merchants ever leave the house, let alone cross the road.
GREAT, SO YOU KNOW ALL THE ENGLISH FOUR-LETTER WORDS THAT EVEN ILLEGAL ALIENS WHO DON’T SPEAK ENGLISH KNOW. WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE ON THIS SITE OR YOU’LL BE BANNED. OH, AND AS FAR AS BREAKFASTS GO, SPEAK FOR YOURSELF. YEAH, THAT 9/11 WAS JUST A FANTASY. NEVER HAPPENED OR IT WAS DONE BY CHRISTIAN FIJIANS IF IT DID. RI-I-I-I-IGHT. “NORTCLIFF”? MORE LIKE, “JUSTJUMPEDOFFACLIFF”.

Debbie Schlussel? More like Debbie Imabigdumdum. Grow a brain cell.
Oh wait. Dammit, that doesn’t have the right gravitas. How do you…? Oh! Oh! Here’s the secret. This is it. Wait. No, here:
DEBBIE SCHLUSSEL? MORE LIKE DEBBIE IMABIGDUMDUM. GROW A BRAIN CELL LOSER AND SPEAK FOR YOURSELF OR YOU’LL BE “BANNED ON THE RUN” LIKE A PAUL MCCARTNEY AND WINGS SONG…….RI-I-I-I-IGHT DOY-OY-OY!!!!!! A-DER!!! HEY LOOK I’M YOU: “DY-EEE! DIME DOOPID.” YOU DON’T EVEN GET THAT LOSER BECAUSE YOU DONT EVEN HAVE A BRAIN CELL…….
Heh heh. Well, that’ll show her. It’s this key right over here, right next to the ‘a.’
Next we have to work on this sort of thing:
Schlussel, who speaks Hebrew, Arabic, French, and Russian, works closely with several Federal law enforcement agencies, consulting on fighting the domestic War on Terrorism, and has provided them with much useful information.
We can definitely handle French, but does Arabic even have capital letters? (So much to learn.)

And there’s more good news. With her recent high-profile remarks against immigrant workers, Michelle is now signed up for a special lifetime premium at restaurants all across America.

“Hmm. The nachos here are creamier than I remembered.”

Shorter W. Thomas Smith, Jr.: The US can eliminate terrorism by following Israel’s successful tactics.
Shorter Robert Novak: What Chuck said.
Shorter Star Parker: It’s ok to rape strippers.
Shorter Jeff Jacoby: If only there was some kind of record of the bad things communist regimes did.
Shorter John Leo: Mike S. Adams is on vacation.
Shorter Michael Barone: Of course the government should be allowed to keep the illegal things it’s doing a secret — duh!
Shorter Suzanne Fields: The new White House press secretary is Tony Snow. Whoa — I need another 750 words to call it a day.
Shorter Diana West: Boy, that whole thing over there in Iraq sure is complicated.
Shorter Jennifer Roback Morse: Wouldn’t it be great if everyone behaved in a manner consistent with my beliefs?
Pastor Swank has posted some nifty tips for dealing with your in-laws. Let’s check ’em out:
KEEPING FAMILY WORKING
By J. Grant Swank, Jr.DAD: BOND WITH YOUR SON-IN-LAW
Yes, a son-in-law can be a tremendous boon, if dad recognizes the gift.
If dad plays his cards right, son-in-law can be used for slave labor.
Do not take him for granted. Any relationship worth its salt takes work. Then work at bonding with your son-in-law. Here are some practical pointers:
CUT HIM SOME SLACK
We’re all human. Your son-in-law is included in that grouping.
Well, that’s a relief. For a while there I was worried that Swank had married his daughter off to some kind of spaniel.

It takes Fox News to cover what no one else will cover:
Bravo, Mr. Gibson.
A CNN headline reads, “Supreme Court rules former Playboy Playmate Anna Nicole Smith can pursue part of her late husband’s oil fortune, The Associated Press reports.”
This is one of those “only in the Yoo-Ess-of-Ay moments” that makes me grateful that I don’t live in a sissy country like Canada (sorry Tim, but it needed to be said).
