And Friday Ducks

"We have nothing to fear but fear itself. Fear, and of course, big scary carnivorous ducks from outer space."
-Franklin Delano Roosevelt

And the Winner Is

Murtha’s 48 earmarks amount to a total of $150.5 million, according to a database compiled by the watchdog organization Taxpayers for Common Sense (TCS).

Better News

Dolly Parton will be doing something, or singing somewhere, probably.

Neolib Obama

I wanted Obama to do better than this, just because of his excellence at being someone other than Hillary. I mean he really wasn't her and I think we should give him full credit for that. But in an effort to escape the wimp label, Obama just proved himself to be entirely too lightweight for the job. Saying that we would send troops into Pakistan if President Musharraf didn't weed the terrorists out of the mountains showed an inability to think in more than 2 dimensions. Criticize our presence in Iraq but advocate invading an ally that, by the way, we know has 'newkular' weapons? Craziness.

John Doe Gets Off?

Six imams removed from a U.S. Airways plane said they would not sue the passengers whose concerns led them to being kicked off a flight in November.
In federal court Tuesday, the attorney for the imams said, “We don’t contemplate naming any private passenger as a defendant.”

***Update: (or is it Undate?): h/t Talnik, according to LGF, this was a false report. Which, is both good and bad. Bad for any John Does who now have to get lawyers. But good in that the excesses of CAIR will be on display at a public trial. They were on a roll but they've gone too far. The testimony will show that the walking Imams were doing everything they could to provoke a response from the innocent passengers. The bonus will be if the defense can prove that they set this all up beforehand, with the lawsuit being the final goal.

True Enough

From Jonah Goldberg:

"Liberals used to be the ones who argued that
sending U.S. troops abroad was a small price
to pay to stop genocide; now they argue that
genocide is a small price to pay to bring U.S.
troops home."

Energizer Ducks

Don't blame me, blame Stone.

We Have Nothing to Fear

But Fear Itself

And, of course, salami.
Some have called this a Salamophobic blog. These accusers obviously don't read AWL. If they were familiar with the blog they'd know: it's salamanders we fear. (with good reason, I might add) OK, and sometimes salami.
